Every man and his dog has their top tips for setting up camp, but we’re going to let you in on some of the best kept industry secrets to having the most habitable and comfortable campsite setup whilst also being on a tight budget.

No matter where and how you choose to go camping, a campsite’s requirements are basically the same. Firstly, you will need some sort of shelter from the rain and sun, somewhere to keep your food and drinks cool, some way to cook your food and a comfortable and peaceful place to sleep.

Gimme shelter!

There are plenty of options for keeping your campsite dry, but did you know that not every camp shelter is also UV resistant. With some punishing research and development we’ve made sure that the ENTIRE RANGE of Adventure Kings shelters offer campers and 4WDers absolute sun and rain protection over their setup.

If you were looking for a reliable shelter for your setup, whether in the bush, big trips away, or even at the caravan park, an Adventure Kings Gazebo can be unpacked from the car and set it up in just a couple of seconds.

The Adventure Kings Gazebo range are made to be extremely durable, 100% waterproof and UPF50+ UV protective, they offer plenty of protection from all of the elements, coupled with a hardy hammertone paint finish on the frames and offering one of the toughest free-standing shelters on the market.

The adjustable three position legs extend out to offer a huge 2380mm of head clearance, whilst providing either 9m²or 18m² shelter, you will have shade and all-weather protection with no permanent modifications required for your vehicle.

An Adventure Kings Gazebo offers easy to setup shelter whilst still being able to drive around, run errands and explore throughout the days, whilst still reserving your campsite for when you get back, this is something you are not able to do with an Adventure Kings Awning setup!

Always keep your cool!

The pinnacle of campsite comfort is to have a reliable and portable 12v fridge/freezer system like the Adventure Kings 60L Fridge/Freezer.

By including a fridge setup in your camping setup you have the ability to simply chuck all of your cold foods and drinks in, to stay icy cold and be hilled for later on, without the requirement for being topped up with ice, you preventing spoilage for many food types for months on end (when frozen) and in the case of beer, you can ensure your beers are frosty and chilled to perfection.

However when you are camping on a budget it may seem that a decent refrigeration unit may just be out of reach, but don’t worry the Adventure Kings range includes a 45L fridge for under $500, which uses an industry standard SECOP compressor for high performance, at a price only a fraction of what the competition are offering – to put that in perspective, other brands have such high mark up that they sell their ice box’s for nearly as much!
