Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you’ve ever wanted to head out camping you shouldn’t be put off by lack of experience. When you are putting together your campsite setup you need to consider all of the essentials you need to have a good time at camp.

The first step to getting your campsite sorted out is to have a good think about where you want to go-  whether it is camping on the beach or heading for the hills or even travelling through the desert, a little bit of research is always in order to make sure you know a little bit about the location you are heading too – one of the best ways we’ve found to research free campsites, both the tracks in to them and the nearby facilities is to use the VMS Touring 700HDX it comes preloaded with over 3000+ maps and includes 1000+ free campsites all over Australia with topographic maps and a clear to read 7” LCD touch screen, research has never been easier, plus with the cig socket power cable, the VMS will get you to your campsite with turn by turn navigation instructions!

With your destination picked you can now start to plan your campsite with all of the bits and pieces you need.

Starting with a reliable shelter over the top of your campsite, you can sit comfortably in rain or shine, there are many options within the Adventure Kings range to keep you and your loved ones safe and sheltered.
