From festivals to family holidays, we’re a nation of camping lovers. In fact, 42.2% of people in the UK go camping at least once a year – with 1 in 25 Brits heading off on a camping adventure as often as once a month.
As the cost-of-living crisis goes on, this favourite past-time is unlikely to be effected, as the strong reputation of camping and caravanning as a budget holiday option puts it in good stead, ensuring high numbers of campers continue to pitch their tents in 2023.
When it comes to consumer behaviour, many of us have changed our views towards holidays following the COVID pandemic, with 29% of adults turning away from abroad holidays and opting for a camping adventure instead (according to Ubuy).
With this in mind, there’s never been a better time to stock up on wholesale camping equipment. Below, we’ve listed out must-have outdoor essentials to help your customers pitch without a hitch this holiday season.
Wholesale camping equipment to stock up on…
Tents and shelters
Your customers won’t get very far camping with no tent – it would definitely be a cold and wet trip without one.
Whether your customers are searching for a family sized tent or a pop-up tent for a festival, we have a wide range of wholesale tents to stock your shelves with. For those day trips to the beach, we also stock beach shelters for that extra bit of protection against the wind.
Product highlight: Summit Pop Up Beach Shelter
Sleeping bags and beds
While a tent is essential for keeping the rain at bay, sleeping on the hard ground isn’t the recipe for a successful camping trip.
To keep your customers comfortable when they go to get some shut eye, we provide a wide range of outdoor sleeping equipment such as wholesale sleeping bags, airbeds, camping beds, mats and pumps.
Product highlight: Summit Ultra Lite Sleeping Bag
Cookware, tableware and dining
When you’re on a camping trip, you can’t beat the smell of breakfast when you’re waking up at the crack of dawn. To enjoy every morning, your customers will need the right cooking equipment.
We stock everything from wholesale camping kettles, pans, plates and cutlery, so your customers can enjoy cooking up campsite feasts when they’re tackling the great outdoors.
