Summer, the best time to be with the whole family in the camper. What could be better than waking up right by the sea, relaxing on the beach and enjoying the fresh breeze? However, to make your summer vacation perfect, you should take some must-haves with you on your adventure. That's why we've listed 10 must-haves for your summer camping vacation.
Sunscreen
Nobody wants to get a painful sunburn during their summer vacation. That's why a sunscreen with a sufficiently high sun protection factor should not be missing from your packing list. You should choose the appropriate sun protection factor depending on your skin type - the lighter your skin is, the higher it should be.
Parasol or awning
A parasol or awning protects you from the sun both on the beach and at the campsite. The most important thing is a good stability. The assembly and disassembly should also be easy. Different shapes and materials offer different advantages and disadvantages. You should pay attention to the appropriate quality when choosing a sunshade or sun sail.
Vacuum insulated drinking bottle
Since you not only spend time at the camper, but also like to go on a trip, a vacuum insulated drinking bottle is very useful. Drinks stay nice and cool in the stainless-steel water bottle, which is why this camping gadget should always be with you on your summer vacation. Our campers offer integrated coolers in which you can cool your drink and then fill it into the vacuum-insulated drinking bottle. Thus, refreshment is provided on every trip.
Air mattress, diving goggles and snorkel
For a trip to the sea, the air mattress, diving goggles and snorkel are an absolute must-have. With these gadgets, swimming fun is guaranteed. On the air mattress you can relax and enjoy the waves, with diving goggles and snorkel you can explore the underwater world. In our campers you have enough storage space for these summer gadgets.
Tension Rope
Due to the many different functions of the tension rope you will love it on your trip. It is simply an all-rounder and facilitates your everyday camping life. You can secure your luggage during the trip, use it as a clothesline for the bathing suits, but also as a fixation of various things inside your camper.
Retractable Clothesline
A particularly handy camping gadget is the retractable clothesline. Whether for your swimwear or freshly washed clothes. This clothesline is super practical. You can attach it to a tree, vehicle or similar and through the retractable function there is no annoying linen tangle.
LED Camping Lamp
A super important camping gadget is a camping lamp. Many campsites are poorly lit in the evening, so a camping lamp should not be missing from your packing list. Camping lights that can be charged via sunlight are best. Many camping lights can also be used as a USB power bank. This makes them a perfect 2 in 1 camping gadget.
Headlamp
Next to the camping light, the headlamp is a must-have in your camping vacation. Walking around the campsite at night to brush your teeth or go to the toilet becomes much more pleasant with this camping gadget. Thanks to the headlamp you can always see where you are walking and you have your hands free for a towel and toilet bag.
Insect screen
Insects can be a real nuisance in summer. To keep them away from your camper, you should also take an insect screen with you on your trip. This way you can protect yourself from bites and constant buzzing in your camper. We at FreewayCamper are animal lovers, but we can do without mosquitoes and flies in the camper.
Hammock
Unwinding and completely relaxing is probably best done in a hammock. In it you can read a book, enjoy the view of the water or recharge your batteries with a power nap. A hammock provides the quiet moments to then start again full of energy into the next adventure.
To guarantee you a perfect camping summer vacation we not only want to give you tips on the must-haves for your trip, but also offer you additional services.
