Camping Equipment Hire Essentials for Your Next Outdoor Adventure

Camping is one of the best ways to switch off, explore the great outdoors, and spend quality time with family and friends. If you’re planning a beachside getaway, an outback road trip, or even a slightly less rugged glamping escape, having the right camping equipment can make all the difference.

From portable power and trailers to BBQs and lighting, Kennards Hire has a wide range of camping and outdoor hire equipment to help make your next adventure more comfortable, convenient, and stress-free.

If you’re heading away this season, here are some camping hire essentials worth considering before you hit the road.

Plan Ahead Before Your Camping Trip

Popular camping destinations across Australia can book out quickly during school holidays, long weekends, and peak travel periods. Planning ahead gives you the best chance of securing your campsite and the equipment you need.

Before leaving, it’s worth checking:

• Campsite access and road conditions
• Power availability
• Fire restrictions or total fire bans
• Weather forecasts
• Storage and towing requirements

Hiring camping equipment can also save valuable packing space and reduce the need to invest in gear you may only use occasionally.

Hire a Cage Trailer for Easy Camping Transport

Packing for a camping trip can quickly take over your vehicle. A cage trailer provides extra space for transporting camping gear, fishing equipment, bikes, swags, eskies, and outdoor furniture safely and efficiently.

Benefits of hiring a cage trailer include:

• Lightweight and easy towing
• Increased storage capacity
• Ideal for family camping trips
• Suitable for bulky outdoor gear

Adding a tarpaulin or trailer cover can help protect your equipment from dust, rain, and road debris during travel.

Enclosed Trailers for Extra Protection and Security

If you’re travelling with valuable camping gear or planning a longer road trip, an enclosed trailer offers additional security and weather protection.

Enclosed trailers are ideal for:

• Camping and touring holidays
• Festival and event transport
• Storing tools and equipment
• Protecting luggage and electronics

Being able to lock your equipment away while exploring or overnight provides extra peace of mind while travelling.

Portable Generator Hire for Camping and Off-Grid Travel

A portable generator can completely transform your camping setup, especially for remote or off-grid locations.

Generator hire is ideal for powering:

• Camping lights
• Portable fridges and freezers
• Device charging stations
• Small cooking appliances
• Fans and portable air conditioners

Modern inverter generators are quieter, fuel-efficient, and suitable for sensitive electronics like laptops and phones. Quiet generators are especially valuable in caravan parks and shared camping areas where noise needs to be kept to a minimum.

Stay Comfortable with Portable Cooling and Heating

Australian camping conditions can vary dramatically depending on the season and location.

Portable Air Conditioners for Summer Camping

For warmer climates or glamping setups, portable air conditioners can help maintain comfort inside camper trailers, tents, or enclosed spaces when paired with generator power.

Patio Heaters for Cold Nights

Camping during winter or in alpine regions? Portable patio heaters provide a practical heating solution for outdoor dining and evening gatherings, helping extend your time outdoors comfortably.

Portable BBQ Hire for Easy Outdoor Cooking

No camping trip is complete without good food. Portable LPG BBQs make campsite cooking quick, simple, and reliable.

Benefits of portable BBQ hire include:

• Easy transport and setup
• Ideal during total fire bans
• Fast cooking with minimal cleanup
• Great for camping, picnics, and road trips

They’re a practical alternative when open campfires aren’t permitted.

Camping Tables, Chairs, and Outdoor Furniture

Comfort matters after a long day outdoors. Lightweight camping tables and chairs can make mealtimes, relaxing, and socialising far more enjoyable.

Hiring outdoor furniture can be especially useful for:

• Large family camping trips
• Group holidays
• Festivals and events
• Temporary camping setups

Portable, stackable options are easy to transport and set up at almost any campsite.

Camping Lights and Portable Lighting Solutions

Good lighting is essential for both convenience and safety around camp.

Popular camping lighting options include:

• Battery-powered LED lights
• Rechargeable work lights
• Solar camping lights
• Portable floodlights

Reliable lighting makes cooking, navigating campsites, and evening activities much easier once the sun goes down.

Chain Saw Hire for Firewood Preparation

If fires are permitted at your campsite, a chain saw can help with preparing and cutting firewood efficiently.

Before using any equipment:

• Check local fire regulations
• Confirm campsite rules
• Follow all safety guidelines and PPE requirements

Always transport and operate chainsaws responsibly and safely.
