Anyone can comfortably camp when the weather is nice. When the sun’s shining, the nights are balmy and the wind is barely a gentle a breeze, it’s easy to set up a comfortable campsite. But what about when the weather turns nasty? Being able to camp comfortably in the rain is something we all need to do from time to time. That’s where the Adventure Kings range of camping gazebos can upgrade your campsite in a massive way!

It’s very possible that you already have an Adventure Kings 4WD awning on the side of your 4WD, SUV, van or car. They’re brilliant because they’re so quick to setup, and they provide heaps of shelter, whether you have a 2×2.5 meter awning, a 2.5×2.5 metre awning, a 2x3m awning or even a 1.4x2m rear awning. There’s a good chance your mate also has a 4WD awning as well, and he probably throws his swag underneath at night. So how about adding one single thing to your campsite that will change the way you camp?

By adding an Adventure Kings camping gazebo between yours and your mates awnings, you instantly create a huge amount of under-cover living area that’s secure, safe and ready for whatever the weather can throw at it. The Adventure Kings 4×4 gazebos come in two sizes – 3 x 3 metres which creates the perfect amount of camping space for two people, or 3 x 6 metres which is fantastic for a whole family or a group of mates.

You can never have too much proper under-cover area to camp in! We’ve all been there, when the weather turns nasty, and a 4WD gazebo is the perfect way to comfortably camp in wet weather without being huddled together trying to stay dry.

Here’s how you set your gazebo up to create the ultimate weatherproof campsite. First, set up your awning off the side of your 4WD, like you normally would. Then, unfold your Adventure Kings 3×3 gazebo or 6×3 gazebo and set it up so the edge of it is in contact with your Adventure Kings car awning. Secure the gazebo and the awning with pegs, and if the wind is starting to blow up a little, you can even strap the gazebo legs to the awning poles with velcro straps or even a bit of electrical tape. Now, carefully position your mate’s car or 4×4 so that when he unrolls his awning, it perfectly lines up with the opposite side of your gazebo. Don’t worry if you don’t get the spacing right the first time – if you hold the 4×4 awning up, the car can be moved in or out until the spacing is perfect. Now, do the same to the second awning, and secure it with pegs, and maybe even velcro straps. And now you have the ultimate campsite accommodation – two awnings for the swags, and a massive living area in between under the gazebo!

And the best part about this setup? Forget spending hours rigging up your old tarps with poles and ropes, only for it to all come down overnight in the wind. It takes less than ten minutes to set up a pair of Adventure Kings 4WD awnings and an Adventure Kings Gazebo, and it doesn’t take much longer to pack them away either.

What we love about using a gazebo as part of your campsite, is the ability to keep everything undercover if you want to go for a drive to get firewood, see some local sights or go for a fish. All you have to do is quickly pack your awning away, and you’re able to drive away from camp no worries! If you’re going for a day trip somewhere, you can leave your swag under your gazebo and it’ll stay dry and protected if the weather turns iffy. Plus, other campers will see that your campsite is taken, and you’re less likely to come back to people camping in your favourite spot!

The opportunities for upgrading your campsite even further are endless with the Adventure Kings camping range. Add a mesh floor under the awning or gazebo to keep you up out of the dirt, or add one or more awning walls for extra privacy and shelter. In fact, your campsite’s only limited by your imagination, especially since the Adventure Kings range of camping gear is such good value that everyone can afford it!
