Are you planning a campervan adventure in the UK? Whether you're a seasoned camper or new to the world of campervanning, having a comprehensive packing list is essential for a smooth and enjoyable trip. To help you prepare for your UK camping escapade in a VW Campervan, we've put together the ultimate packing list to ensure you have everything you need for a memorable journey.
Clothing:
Pack clothing suitable for the unpredictable UK weather, including layers, waterproof jackets, and comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.
Don't forget swimsuits or wetsuits if you plan to take a dip in the sea or enjoy water activities. Bedding:
We like to have a duvet so we can feel cozy but you could also take a sherpa blanket to save on space. We take extra blankets, and comfortable pillows for a good night's sleep in our campervan. Don't forget sheets! Kitchen essentials:
Stock up on non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, pasta, and snacks, to enjoy meals on the go. We often pre-prepare some salads and meals we can quickly warm up.
Utensils, plates, cups, glasses and easily storable cookware are essential. We love these pans to save space. Don't forget a vegetable peeler and can opener!
A kettle. You can even buy collapsible versions to save even more space.
A collapsible bin is really handy. You don't want to be leaving rubbish all over your campervan or making trips to the campsite bins all the time. Outdoor gear:
Bring camping chairs, a portable table, and a picnic blanket for outdoor dining and relaxation. We love this table that folds away no bigger than a camping chair!
Pack a portable firepit for cosy evenings by the campfire and cooking al fresco. This is our choice for literally the smallest firepit you can get.
If you're feeling fancy, take an outdoor rug that you can roll up. It also stops you tracking dirt into your campervan.
Outdoor lighting. If you're going to be sitting outside your camper a lot, string lights are a fun, lovely way of enjoying the evenings as they get darker.
Safety and emergency supplies:
Ensure you have a first aid kit stocked with essentials like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers.
Pack a flashlight, extra batteries, and a whistle for emergencies.
Don't forget to bring a map, compass, and fully charged phone for navigation and communication. Entertainment:
If you're like us, you won't have a ton of space for entertainment, but we always have a good book and a pack of cards as well as the laptop if we want to snuggle up and watch a movie. Miscellaneous items:
Remember to pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and toiletries for personal hygiene and protection.
Don't forget to bring a portable charger for keeping your devices powered up on the go.
Elastic bands. They're just incredibly helpful, especially if something is flapping about and needs securing.
Pop up toilet tent. Great for if the toilets are a trek or you need a little privacy for squeezing out of your wetsuit.
A collapsible bucket. Handy for many reasons!
If you have dogs, a long leash is a great idea and these magnetic hooks serve all sorts of purposes as well as ensuring your doggy friend can't run away.
A travel dog bed is one of our favourite purchases. It acts as a car seat and a dog bed at night.
