Big discount chains launches new camping and festival range ideal for summer and prices start from just 75p
WITH summer just around the corner, one bargain retailer is getting ready with an exciting range of budget-friendly camping gear.
B&M’s Outdoor Adventure has everything you need for sleeping under the stars, with prices starting as little as 75p.
It’s not just perfect for camping, there are also must-have bits and bobs for festivals and picnics.
One money-smart shopper spotted the selection in her local store and shared snaps to UK Supermarket Offers and Deals This Week.
She wrote: “If you love camping, then take a look at the NEW Camping range at B&M.“
On offer are 5M Light Up Camping Bunting for just £4 – perfect for those late night nature wees!
For just £8, B&M is selling a mesh fire pit that is fully suspended from the ground to avoid burning the grass.
Picnic blankets, stackable jug and cups, and inflatable chairs are all up for grabs.
And it wouldn’t be the great British summer without a spot of rain, so shoppers can also stock up on ponchos for just 75p to stay dry.
For just £2, happy campers can pick up a 10L collapsible water carrier – a necessity for those long, hot days.
Camping pull lights will set you back just £1.50, while an expanding lantern costs £4.
For those who prioritise comfort, there are inflatable chairs for just £12.
Shoppers flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts on the range of camping kit.
“Looks like glamping to me! Not exactly what my grandad had in mind when he took us camping,” one laughed.
“On my way,” one joked.
Others tagged friends and family to spread the love.
“Think you might be needing a B&M trip soon,” another wrote.
“Need some of these,” a third added with a heart-eyed emoji.
Like B&M, Lidl has a camping range – Crivit – which launched this summer, and it boasts equally impressive offers.
Festival fans can unwind in between favourite DJ sets with the Crivit Self-Inflating Camping Mat and Pillow (£19.99) and Car Air Mattress (£14.99).
Campers can also give their home away from home a lux upgrade with the Camping Living Area Tent (£79.99) – perfect for avoiding those inevitable summertime showers.
Planning on cooking up a storm at the campsite? Take advantage of the Folding Camping Chair (£7.99) and the Low Folding Camping Table (£9.99).
Thanks to the range’s cool bag selection, sipping warm tinnies is a thing of the past.
From the Electric Cool Box (£49.99) to the Cool Bag Assortment (£9.99) and the Cool Bag Backpack (£7.99), there’s a chillingly good choice for every price point.
Three camping tips from an expert
David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly.
When visiting any campsite this summer it’s important to make sure you’re not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday.
Check your tent
David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you’re due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts.
He told Sun Online Travel: “You’d be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents.”
Test the ground
Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider.
One of those should be the condition of the ground you’re putting your tent on top of, according to David.
He said: “Once you’ve found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough.”
Don’t nap in your tent
It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly, if it’s done at the wrong time of the day.
David explained: “If the sun’s shining and it’s hot inside your tent – don’t do it!
“One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke.”
Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well ventilated.
