The Easy Camp Bushmaster Lantern let's you get a bit of that retro glam to your camping set-up without costing a fortune.
★★★★★
More details +
PROS:
- A cheap lantern that provides a bit of retro charm to your camping setup.
CONS:
- Don't expect it to fill your tent with light. This is more of a decorative item, but it does cast a warm glow and can be used as a nightlight for the kids.

The Vango Shangri-La 15 Grande is a very comfortable sleeping mat to take camping. It will feel much more like a bed at home.
★★★★★
More details +
£169.98
A fantastic mat to sleep on. Easy to inflate and deflate.
PROS:
- This is one of the most comfortable self-inflating mats we've tried. And yes, it does self-inflate too.
CONS:
- It's still a large mat when rolled up, so check you have the space to transport. Kitting your family out with these will be expensive.

The Robens Trekker XL is a great option if you want a good sized smart looking table that doesn't fill your car boot.
★★★★★
More details +
£43.99
We've been using the Trekker XL on lots of camps this season already. It's a must take bit of kit.
PROS:
- A decent looking camping table that can easily fit in the boot of your car.
CONS:
- You can, of course, get cheaper tables, but none that fold this small and look this good.

★★★★★

£47.99
PROS:
- A fun (and comfortable) way to provide extra seating for your family at the campsite.
CONS:
- It does take a bit of pumping to get it up, but that's not a problem if you have willing kids or an electric pump ;-)

We love cooking over the campfire, and the Robens Bighorn is our new favourite campfire cooking must-have item.
★★★★★
More details +

A great option for family campfire cooking. You won't need to be a campfire guru to enjoy a great cookout with the Robens Bighorn.
PROS:
- A big pan for cooking over the campfire. A great size for families.
CONS:
- You'll need space to transport it, but the legs screw in and out, so it doesn't take up too much space.

★★★★★
More details +
£51.99
PROS:
- Comes with a great canopy you can attach to the front of the tent, plus a useful sheltered side entrance too.

- A great design, giving you the benefits of a smaller tent, with the practicalities of a larger tent. The canopy design is also a real bonus.

We tested the Garmin Camper SatNav while driving over 2500 miles across Europe while towing a caravan. Did it help or did it hinder? Read on to find out.
★★★★★
More details +
£335.37
A great driving assistant when you are towing a caravan. But like all SatNavs, you can't believe it all the time.
PROS:
- It works - most of the time ;-)
CONS:
- Like any SatNav, it's only an aid. It won't get it perfectly right everytime.

The Thule Chariot is an off-road buggy ideal for running and being active with small kids but is it worth the high price? Jen and Sim put it to the test.
★★★★★
More details +
£899.99
This is the first buggy we’ve had because we’ve never found one that could cope with our adventures before. It’s a great tool to allow us to run together regularly and have amazing family adventures on foot or with the bikes. Highly recommended for active couples with young kids.
PROS:
- Incredibly well made and brilliantly designed. Perfect for active families who like to get off-road.
CONS:
- Expensive - from £850 for a single or £950 for the double. Fairly heavy and wide so stiles and narrow gates can be a problem.

★★★★★

£227.00
A light, supportive and comfortable hiking for everyday walks.
PROS:
- Light and comfortable

★★★★★
More details +
£324.95
PROS:
- The Kobuk is a fantastic stove with some great accessories too.
CONS:
- The RRP looks a little pricey but if you shop around you can get it cheaper (see our price search below). Plus, it's a great package considering all the flue sections, heat shield, spark arrester, and carry case.

If you are after a larger retro-style canvas family tent for your holidays, then the Robens Prospector might be just what you are after.
★★★★★
More details +
£709.14
Although we struggled to get the Robens Prospector up, once it was pitched, it was a great tent to create a home in, especially when the wood burning stove was fitted.
PROS:
- The Robens Prospector is a large canvas tent that comes ready to use with a camping stove.
CONS:
- It's very heavy and a small step ladder is recommended to help get it pitched.
Discontinued

★★★★★
More details +
£49.00
PROS:
- The Coleman Basalt is comfortable and also has built-in odour control.
CONS:
- Getting it back in the bag takes some practice.

This is an interesting idea: a beach umbrella that can also be a beach shelter. We look at the Easy Camp Coast.
★★★★★
More details +
£5.99
PROS:
- The Easy Camp Coast is a great idea for some wind and sunshade on the beach.
CONS:
- Not as big as a full sized beach shelter, but it does mean you don't have to take both.
Thumbs Up
The Outwell Trelew Chairs are big and comfortable. Now little kids can enjoy it too with a special kid-sized version. The Mayho family put it to the test.
★★★★★
More details +
£280.33
PROS:
- Comfortable and opens out in seconds.
CONS:
- It seems slightly on the heavy side at 1.9kg, which is fine if you are literally throwing your stuff out the boot of the car to set up camp, but not so great if you have to walk any distance.

Lightweight, breathable, waterproof, comfortable, and a great grip. Another great walking shoe for Salomon
★★★★★

£79.00
I found the Salomon X Ultra walking shoes great for hiking and everyday use. I'll be using these as my main walking shoe from now on.
PROS:
- Good soles, comfortable fit, breathable, and waterproof. Perfect for taking the kids out walking or everyday use.
CONS:
- You might find the lacing system takes some getting used to at first but it's simple to use and does make getting the shoes on and off quicker.

We have a look at another piece of camping furniture that's designed to take up the least amount of space in your car: the Robens Walker.
★★★★★
More details +
£12.99
PROS:
- This is a great looking cupboard that's really well made and packs down to an incredibly small size for a cupboard with a bamboo top.
CONS:
- Not as quick to set-up as a pop-up unit, but then again, it's not difficult either, especially with the cupboard's body already attached to the frame and each of the frame items connected together.

We test out the new Sevylor Waterton inflatable canoe and like all the improvements we see.
★★★★★
More details +
£249.00
PROS:
- Easy to inflate and deflate.
- Handles well on the water.
CONS:
- It's still an inflatable, and so won't perform as well as a rigid hull. However, it's a lot easier to store and transport.
