What if you love camping but also crave a bit of luxury, too? You’re in luck. There are lots of ways to take your camping holiday from basic to brilliant with the right accessories. Here are some of our favourite ways to take your next trip from camping to glamping.

A bell tent

Ever wandered around a campsite and had a bad case of tent envy? We get it – so why not pitch a bell tent and become the object of envy? Some bell tents are large enough to fit a crowd, too, so find one that works for you.

A portable gazebo

You’ve got your sleeping quarters sorted, but where do you store your food, cooking gear and other camping gear you don’t want cluttering up the tent? A handy gazebo is the answer. Not only can they keep the bugs out but some even include LED lighting in case you can’t find your torch.

Ambient lighting

An easy way to bring some glam to camping (and ensure you’re not stumbling around in the dark the next time you need the loo) is with a string of fairy lights or solar festoon lights. And don’t forget to add some cute citronella candles, too.

Solar charging stations

Digital detoxing is great, but most of us don’t want to head to the great outdoors without a few creature comforts. If that includes bringing the laptop to watch Netflix on while cuddled up in your sleeping bag, then you’ll want to make sure you pack a solar charging station.

Movie night projector

Forget Netflix – if you’re camping with a group and fancy a movie night under the stars, it’s not hard to rig up a pull-down outdoor projection screen and team it with an easy-to-pack mini projector. Just don’t forget to pack the popcorn, too.

Picnic hamper

Sometimes, it’s the little things – like cutlery you keep losing – that can take the shine off your camping trip. You don’t need to bring everything but the kitchen sink, but you do need a proper picnic hamper.

Portable BBQ

If you’re making camp somewhere remote, a BYO barbie is essential. Our huge range of portable BBQs includes everything from a basic two-burner tabletop barbie to a portable charcoal BBQ (which comes in different colours and has a food-grade storage tray).

Picnic rug, cushions and throws

Nothing screams ‘We’re glamping’ more than a luxe sheepskin rug, right? You may also want to add stylish Moroccan style outdoor cushions and compact tartan picnic rugs with plastic backings that are easy to stash in the car.

Outdoor portable shower

No shower block where you’re headed? No problem – grab an affordable solar camping shower that’s compact, easy to fill and to heat. If you’d rather have a bit of privacy when showering, you could also pack a privacy tent which doubles as a change room or makeshift toilet room. Just add an easy-to-flush portable loo!

A camping fridge/freezer

Gone are the days when you crossed your fingers and hoped the steak in the esky would make it until day three of the camping trip. Instead, splash out on a portable fridge/freezer that’ll keep your food and drinks nicely chilled.

Looking for more camping ideas?

You’ll find heaps of options for glamping on a budget at your local store – and if you’re especially handy, you might want to make a D.I.Y. Camp Kitchen Box for your next camping trip (it’ll definitely make your fellow campers sit up and take notice!)



Health & Safety

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.

When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
