Camping is a fantastic way to escape into nature, recharge, and create lasting memories. Whether you're all about roughing it or prefer a touch of luxury with glamping (who doesn't love a little extra comfort?), Kennards Hire has the equipment you need to make your next camping trip nothing short of unforgettable.

With Australia offering some of the most breathtaking camping spots, from tropical beaches to lush rainforests, it’s time to pack your bags and hit the road. The team at Kennards Hire is here to help you prepare so your adventure is smooth, fun, and stress-free.

 

Make Camping Feel Like Home

Before you set off, planning ahead is essential. Kennards Hire's Nowra Branch Manager, Matt Gumley, has already spoken to heaps of adventurers getting ready for their vacations. His advice? Book your campsite and hire your equipment early, especially if your destination is a popular spot. 

Whether you're looking to set up your own outdoor kitchen, keep your campsite cozy, or haul all your gear with ease, the Kennards Hire has more equipment than you realise. Here are our top picks to level up your camping game.

 

Must-Have Equipment for a Comfortable Camping Trip

1. Pack It All with a Cage Trailer: A cage trailer is a camper’s best friend when it comes to hauling everything you need, from swags and fishing gear to BBQs and bikes. These trailers are lightweight and simple to tow, making packing up a breeze. Need a cover? Hire a tarpaulin as well to keep everything secure.
   
   
2. Keep It Secure with an Enclosed Trailer: For even more protection, an enclosed trailer is perfect. You can lock away all your valuables when you're off exploring or spending the night under the stars. It’s peace of mind on wheels.
   
   
3. Bring Power Anywhere with a Generator: Having electricity at your campsite can transform your entire experience. A generator gives you the power to run essentials like lights, charge devices, or even keep food fresh with a portable fridge. Pair it with an inverter for efficient energy use, allowing you to safely power sensitive appliances like your laptop. Kennards Hire’s whisper-quiet generators ensure you maintain the serenity of your surroundings while staying connected and comfortable.
   
   
4. Sleep Better with a Portable Air Conditioner: Australian summers can be unforgiving. If comfort is king, consider hiring a portable air conditioner. Pair it with your generator for quiet, cool nights and wake up feeling refreshed.
   
   
5. Stay Warm with a Patio Heater: For those chilly outback evenings or mountain adventures, a patio heater is a brilliant addition. Lightweight and easy to transport, it’ll keep you warm as you share stories around the table.
   
   
6. Cook Like a Pro with a Portable BBQ: Outdoor cooking has never been this easy. A portable LPG gas BBQ takes all the hassle out of camp cooking. It’s especially handy during total fire bans or in areas where open fires aren’t allowed.
   
   
7. Keep It Social with Tables and Chairs: Comfortable seating and a sturdy table are essential items for any campsite. Lightweight, stackable options are easy to hire and make mealtime or game night far more enjoyable
   
   
8. Light Up the Night with Camping Lights: Don’t get caught in the dark! Battery-powered LED lights or solar-charged options will give you hours of bright, efficient illumination. Perfect for cooking, reading, or just soaking up the outdoor vibes.
   
   
9. Gather Firewood with a Chain Saw: If your campsite allows open fires, a chain saw might come in handy for collecting firewood. Just check your destination's rules, and swing by Kennards Hire to grab one before you go.
