The Philippine summer sun ignites a yearning for adventure. With clear skies and warm breezes, it’s no wonder summer has become synonymous with outdoor exploration. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer journey to hidden coves and remote mountains, car camping offers the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Philippines.

In this article, we will explore some car camping gear for summer that will elevate your adventure into a comfortable and unforgettable experience.

Awning Tent

The summer sun is no joke, and your sunscreen won’t be enough to protect you from getting sunburned. So, when camping and escaping the city for some nature therapy, you need a way to stay cool and create a shaded space; like an awning tent.

While a flimsy awning might offer little more protection than a piece of paper, a good quality one can transform your campsite. Look for a durable and high-quality option, like the spacious ones offered by Adventure Kings with dimensions of 2.5m wide x 2.9m high. Plus, you can create an enclosed space for added privacy perfect for crowded campsites. It doubles as a makeshift kitchen area.

Storage Bags

Car camping often means managing a plethora of gear, but you can turn chaos into order with the right storage solutions.
Adventure Kings canvas bags stand out for their durability, handling of heavy loads like tools or food, and their convenience—they’re machine washable for effortless cleaning.

Furthermore, they fold up compactly for convenient storage when not in use. Their versatility allows them to handle items big and small. Knowing your belongings are neatly organized and protected gives you peace of mind, especially being far from the city where you won’t have access to quick replacements if something gets lost or damaged.

Kitchen Essentials

Forget relying on pre-packaged snacks or expensive camp meals. With a basic kitchen setup, you can whip up delicious and satisfying meals that fuel your outdoor adventures.

Some of the basic kitchen essentials that can make your life easier while camping are:

A portable aluminum kitchen where you can store all your kitchenware and can extend as a portable meal prep
Adventure Kings 45L Portable Fridge And Freezer where you can keep your drinks and perishables fresh, letting you cook anytime.
Adventure Kings Collapsible Sink rinses ingredients and can be transformed into a chopping board when flattened.

Portable Batteries and Chargers

Outdoor adventures are the perfect way to relax and unwind, but what happens when your phone dies trying to capture that epic sunset, or your camera sputter right before a wildlife encounter?

Consider investing in a portable dual battery system and charger. This dynamic duo allows you to power up your phone and other devices, keeping you connected and entertained even far from the grid.

A charged phone is a lifeline. It allows you to use GPS navigation, make emergency calls, and stay connected with loved ones back home. In remote areas, a charged phone can provide peace of mind and ensure help is just a call away.

Sleeping Mattress or Pads

A good sleeping mattress or pad provides a layer of cushioning between you and the ground. No more waking up with a sore back or feeling every pebble beneath you. You’ll be able to relax, unwind, and enjoy a truly restful sleep, ready to conquer the next day’s adventures.

For extra comfort and spaciousness, consider the Adventure self-inflating mattress. Its 1500mm width is ideal for couples or anyone who likes ample sleeping space. Plus, the foam construction eliminates the risk of punctures and those annoying bouncing sounds that can disrupt your sleep.

Camping Chairs and Tables

The excitement of reaching your campsite after a long drive can quickly fade when you realize you’re missing some key comfort items. The only seating option becomes the dusty ground, and balancing your food on your lap feels like an acrobatic feat. Let’s be honest, it’s not exactly the picture of relaxation you envisioned for your summer car camping adventure.

Complete your camping setup with the Adventure Kings Throne Camping Chair, offering exceptional back and leg support with extra thick padding for ultimate comfort. Picture yourself reclining with a refreshing drink in the convenient cup holder, soaking in the beauty of your surroundings. Pair it with a sturdy alloy camping table for a dedicated dining space, eliminating spills and balancing acts, perfect for meals, games, or relaxing conversations with fellow adventurers.

Key Takeaway

While the adventure is the highlight, a well-equipped car camping setup can make all the difference. Investing in the right car camping gear for summer ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience.
