Camping with children can be one of the best family adventures you’ll ever have. Fresh air, campfires, beach days, woodland walks and evenings under the stars… What’s not to love?
Of course, camping with kids also comes with its own set of challenges. Wet towels. Muddy shoes. Damp blankets. Forgotten essentials. The best camping memories are made when you’re not worrying about all of the above or soggy sandwiches, questionable portaloos and spider-ridden showers.
Red Equipment has created a range of clever outdoor products designed to make camping, staycations and family adventures that little bit easier. While they can’t promise to do much about the toilets or the showers, as a certified B Corp, the brand combines practical design with durable materials built to last, making its products ideal for families who love camping, or spending time outdoors.
Whether you’re planning a weekend under canvas, a family festival or a UK staycation, investing in practical, well-designed equipment can make every adventure that little bit easier.
From waterproof storage and insulated coolers to changing robes and clever multi-purpose gear, Red Equipment’s summer collection has been thoughtfully designed with real outdoor adventures in mind. Happy camping! Here are eight camping essentials we’d definitely recommend packing this summer.
Keeping everyone hydrated is a must when you’re camping, particularly during the warmer months.
Red Equipment’s 2L Insulated Stainless Steel Canteen is perfect for family adventures, keeping cold drinks chilled for up to 16 hours and hot drinks warm for up to eight hours. With its generous capacity, integrated handle and removable shoulder strap, it’s ideal for campsites, picnics and beach days alike.
Forget soggy sandwiches and melted ice packs.
Red Equipment’s Waterproof Soft Cooler Bag is completely leakproof, airtight and designed to keep food and drinks cold for days. Whether you’re planning a family BBQ, camping weekend or beach picnic, it’s one of those pieces of kit you’ll wonder how you ever managed without.
Every family needs a good outdoor blanket.
Red Equipment’s Quilted Adventure Blanket doubles up as both a cosy blanket for cooler evenings and a practical waterproof groundsheet during the day. Sand-proof, waterproof and even dog-proof, it’s lightweight enough to pack easily while still being large enough for the whole family. Plus, it packs neatly away into its own stash bag when you’re finished.
If you’ve ever tried packing towels for the whole family, you’ll know just how much room they take up.
Red Equipment’s Quick Dry Microfibre Poncho Changing Robes are a brilliant alternative. The antibacterial microfibre fabric absorbs up to four times its weight in water before drying quickly, making them ideal for campsite showers, beach days and wild swimming. Even better, matching designs are available for both adults and children.
British weather has a habit of changing without warning.
A waterproof backpack or tote bag helps protect clothing, electronics and all those family essentials from unexpected rain showers, muddy fields and sandy beaches. Red Equipment offers a wide range of waterproof bags suitable for everything from family camping holidays to festivals and day trips.
If your camping trip includes beach days or wild swimming, Red Equipment’s innovative 2-in-1 Reversible Tow Float Backpack is a real game-changer.
The clever design transforms from a waterproof backpack into a high-visibility tow float in seconds, allowing you to safely keep your phone, keys and valuables with you while you swim instead of leaving them unattended on the beach. It also makes swimmers more visible in the water, offering added peace of mind for families.
Even in summer, campsite mornings and evenings can be surprisingly chilly.
Red Equipment’s Alter Evo Pro Changing Robe offers waterproof and windproof protection while remaining breathable enough for active days outdoors. Whether you’re drying off after a swim, watching the kids play or enjoying breakfast outside the tent, it’s a brilliant layer to throw on.
Camping gear should last for years—not just one season.
As a certified B Corp, Red Equipment focuses on creating durable products using lower-impact materials, including PVC-free TPU. Many of its products are designed to serve multiple purposes, helping reduce waste while making packing simpler too.
Whether you’re planning a weekend under canvas, a family festival or a beach staycation, Red Equipment’s premium outdoor collection has everything you need to make life outdoors more comfortable.
