Beach camping is an awesome Aussie tradition, where the bush meets the sea, it’s got something for everyone – Find out how you can set up a tidy and well thought out fully self-contained beach campsite for much less than you would imagine!

The first thing is first, whilst Aussie beaches are stunning and beautiful, they are also less sheltered than many other inland campsites, with the possibility of strong winds and scorching sun. The best way to make sure that your beach campsite stays sheltered is to add either an Adventure Kings Awning and Awning Wall, this handy combo will deflect wind up and over your campsite whilst also keeping the sun and rain off.

All Adventure Kings shelters, such as the Adventure Kings Gazebo range are all independently tested to be UPF50+ rated which means they keep out over 98% of harmful UV rays!

Not to mention, all Adventure Kings shelters are also 100% waterproof meaning they will protect you and the family even during heavy afternoon rain squalls.

With shelter out of the way, campsite flooring is your next port of call – having a sand base, being camped out on the sand, may seem romantic to many who’ve never camped on the sand, but in reality, the scratchy, gritty sand gets into every nook and cranny of your clothing, bedding and even your car – we had enough of putting up with sandy shoes and socks, and gritty bed sheets.

To fix the problem we did some research and came up with the Adventure Kings Mesh Flooring, which is made from an extremely durable woven mesh, that is not only cool to touch in the summer months, but also allows sand to fall through without rising back through the weave!

Available in a handful of sizes the Adventure Kings Mesh Floors are an essential for camping on the beach and make spring camping a much more comfortable experience!

With shelter and flooring sorted out, the next essential is your bedding, there are 101 ways to set up your beach campsite with comfortable bedding, our favorite is in one of Australia’s favorite camping setup’s the Adventure Kings Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag – fitted with a thick comfortable 70mm thick closed cell mattress, you’ll get a great night sleep no matter where you are!

Another alternative to this huge swag setup is a Roof Top Tent setup with a handful of options available on the market, the Adventure Kings Roof Top Tent is available with a 4-person annex or without, the setup is a breeze, simply unzip the thick PVC cover, and unfold the setup for 360° views at camp.

The Adventure Kings Roof Top Tent uses a double skinned roof to allow a ‘tropical roof’ natural temperature regulation, along with windows on all sides, fitted with see through insect mesh, the 320gsm Ripstop canvas is extremely durable and waterproof making sure you sleep through the night no matter what the weather does through the night!

Finally is the food and drinks, this bit is critical, and without the right preparation, you could be letting everyone go hungry, and thirsty!

By packing your food and drinks into a quality ice box like the Adventure Kings 60L icebox, you have the ability to keep all your food and drinks icy cold on the tracks and because of the superior CFC-free polyurethane insulation inside you can make a bag of ice last for DAYS on the beach!

If you don’t like having to stock up on ice, every time you hit the tracks, an affordable Adventure Kings 60L Fridge Freezer offers the ability to turn 12v power from your vehicles cig plug into icy cold drinks no matter where you are – they are highly efficient, and offer absolute control from 10°C to -18°C via the push button display, there isn’t much on the market that rivals the value for money!

We haven’t forgotten the most important part – when you are camping on the beach you’re going to need a way to cook up your favorite campsite meals – just like anything else, you have 101 options for getting good grub in your belly, but one of our beach camping favorites is to use an Adventure Kings Camp Oven Stove, it allows you to burn less fuel for the same heat, and also lifts your fire up off the sand, allowing you to keep it cooking close to your shelter.

By cooking over a wood fire you’ll get a double use out of your fire, keeping warm and also having a tasty meal!

Beach camping doesn’t have to be a struggle, and when you are equipped with all the right gear, you’ll never miss out on the good times at camp thanks to Adventure Kings!
