Going on a family camping holiday is great fun but can it be cool too? Well of course it can. All you need are the right gadgets and you can expect to turn a few heads as well as enjoy a more comfortable family holiday.

Self Pitching Tent

For the camper who is in a hurry or who has a bad back this is absolutely ideal. It seems that you just throw it into the air and it lands fully formed on the ground so that you just have to stake the corners. You will look exceptionally modern and trendy when you do this, although if it goes wrong you run the risk of looking like a bumbling fool instead. A few practice throws in your back garden are probably a good bet.

Light and Cool Air

Packing out your tent with loads of gadgets is never a smart move, so whenever you find a device which offers more than one function you should be sure to consider it. In the case of this gadget we are looking at then you get lights and a cool breeze. The fan might not be needed all that much in UK camping trips but if you plan to take your tent abroad then it could save you from some sticky, uncomfortable nights.

A Tent You Can Wear

You will definitely turn heads if you go to a music festival and sleep in one of these. It is basically a jacket which doubles as a tent, and a sleeping bag as well presumably. The jacket is reasonable enough but if you decide to sleep in it using the tent function then it looks a tiny bit weird. It is probably more suitable for hardened outdoor types who might or might not be sleeping under the stars tonight rather than someone planning a comfortable trip.

A Camera Frisbee

Bored of always taking the same old, “Hi Mum” snaps on your holidays? Now you can throw a Frisbee and get some unusual photos taken as it spins through the air.

A Tent Line LED

Now this one is definitely useful for festivals. It is simply a little LED light which you clip onto your tent line so that other campers or revellers don’t fall over it in the dark. The light adjusts automatically to the environment and as well as keeping everyone safer it also gives you a nice little glow around your tent.

An Always Cool Beer Jug

This is one of those gadgets which are so simple looking that you wonder why no one ever thought of it before. It contains two sections; one for the drink and one for the ice. Imagine how great it would be to offer a cool, refreshing drink to fellow campers on a hot, steamy day.
