What to Pack for a UK Camping Trip This Summer
A practical guide to camping comfortably, whatever the weather
Camping has a way of simplifying things.
A few days outdoors. A slower pace. Fresh air, early mornings and evenings that stretch long after the sun has gone down.
Whether you're heading to the coast, pitching up in the countryside or escaping for a weekend under canvas, packing the right kit can make all the difference. The British weather may not always follow the script, but with a little preparation you'll be ready for whatever the weekend brings.
Here's what we'd always make room for.
Start With The Right Bag
Every camping trip starts with packing.
For weekends away and overnight adventures, the 35L Roll-Top Backpack offers plenty of space for clothing, layers and camping essentials while remaining comfortable to carry wherever you're headed. Waterproof construction and taped seams help keep your belongings protected, whether you're travelling by train, car or on foot.
Once camp is set up, the 20L Roll-Top becomes the bag you'll reach for throughout the day. Ideal for coastal walks, trips into town, exploring nearby trails or carrying a picnic, it's the perfect companion for everyday adventures from your campsite base.
Pack A Layer You'll Use Morning And Night
Summer camping rarely means warm temperatures around the clock.
Early mornings can feel surprisingly cool and evenings often last much longer than expected.
That's where the Beaumont comes into its own. Whether you're making your first coffee of the day, heading out for an early dog walk, drying off after a swim or sitting around the campfire long after sunset, it's the layer you'll be glad you packed.
Waterproof, windproof and breathable, it's designed for exactly the kind of changing conditions that camping in the UK is known for.
Make Room For Golden Hour
Some of the best moments on a camping trip are often the least planned.
A picnic overlooking the coast. Watching the sunset. Gathering around the campfire with friends.
Designed for days outdoors and good company, the limited-edition Delta Roam x Della Vite Crossbody Bag in Sole Spritz features an insulated lining and comes complete with four Della Vite Spritzes. Inspired by the Italian tradition of aperitivo, it's made for slowing down, gathering together and making the most of golden hour outdoors.
Don't Forget Your Water Bottle
The simplest pieces of kit are often the ones you use the most.
From the drive to the campsite and long walks during the day to keeping a drink close by around camp, a reusable water bottle is one of the hardest-working items you'll pack.
Our insulated Water Bottle helps keep drinks cold throughout the day and is designed to travel easily wherever the weekend takes you.
The Small Essentials Worth Remembering
The little things are often the easiest to forget and the most useful when you need them.
