Now is the ideal time for tent loving households to bolster their camping inventory ahead of spring. With this in mind we’ve put together a list of potential stocking fillers for all levels of camper, from fair weather folk to come rain or shine campsite enthusiasts.
Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter
Yes it is probably easier to buy matches or a lighter, but for those seeking a back to basics approach this fire starter from Gerber will provide sparks on demand for years to come – more importantly your BBQ lighting credentials will sky rocket. The Gerber also comes complete with a compartment to store tinder (wood) removing the need to look for dry lighting materials.
Are you the one who seems to end up doing the morning washing up trip through the campsites cold dew covered grass? Arm (excuse the pun) yourself with these slippers for water resistance, incredible warmth & comfort.
Think forward to Spring 2018, your neighbouring campers are chargrilling burgers & sausages on their BBQs, meanwhile you are (slightly smugly) preparing oven fired pizzas or slow roasting lamb – before utilising the oven as a campsite heater.
This all year round outdoor stove is portable (sets up in 3 minutes) & is extremely versatile (think bbqs, pizza oven, smoker, patio heater & integral kettle for hot water on tap). To put it simply, you can cook anything, anywhere.
For the outdoor tech enthusiast, this mobile charger is waterproof, dust-proof, anti-shock & skid resistance meaning it should survive most family camping trips. The pack can charge your average smart phone three times, plus the LED light will certainly come in handy.
Warm yourself whilst enhancing your campsite credentials with this I (heart) camping flask, featuring a rubber-lined lid for a tight, spill-resistant brew.
Ladram Bay provides washing facilities for all guests, but if you do find yourself at a site without washing facilities the Scrubba wash bag will allow you to pack lighter, smell better & ultimately camp for longer.
The wash bag combines a dry sack with an internal flexible washboard. To operate simply fill it with water & travel detergent then use the nobules inside to gently scrub your clothes. It weighs only 145g & packs down to a compact 16 x 10 x 3cm in size, so you can easily store it in your rucksack for backpacking & outdoor adventures.

Are you dreaming of your own holiday home in Devon? This picturesque region, known for its stunning coastline & landscapes, offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, purchasing a holiday home is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. Below, we outline key factors to guide you in making an informed choice when looking at holiday homes for sale in Devon.
Location, Location, Location
Accessibility: Consider how easy it is to travel to and from your potential holiday home. Proximity to major roads, airports, and public transport can affect your usage and sublet potential.
Surroundings: Are you looking for a serene countryside retreat, a beachside haven, or a holiday caravan in the heart of a bustling village? Devon offers diverse settings to match your lifestyle preferences.
Local Amenities: Explore the availability of local shops, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and entertainment options. The convenience of local amenities can significantly enhance your stay.
Caravan Type and Features
Size and Layout: Think about how much space you need, considering the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. A well-thought-out layout is crucial to comfort, especially if you plan to host friends or rent it out.
Maintenance: Evaluate the condition of the caravan or lodge and consider ongoing maintenance requirements. Newer units may offer easier upkeep.
Facilities and Extras: Features such as parking spaces, outdoor areas, and on-site facilities (e.g., swimming pools and access to leisure activities) can add significant value and enjoyment to your holiday home.
Dog Friendly: Is the park dog friendly? Would you like to bring your four-legged friend away on a dog-friendly holiday in Devon?
Financial Implications
Potential for Sublet Income: If you’re considering renting out your holiday home when it‘s not in use, research the offers available by subletting directly. Remember to account for periods of personal use.
Insurance and Security: Holiday homes, particularly those in coastal areas, may have specific insurance requirements. Additionally, consider the security of the lodge or caravan, especially if it will be unoccupied for periods.
Lifestyle Fit
Community and Culture: Engage with the local community on-site to ensure the area feels like a good fit for you and your family. A sense of belonging can enhance your enjoyment and satisfaction.
Activities and Interests: Consider whether the area supports your hobbies and interests, whether it’s hiking, surfing, art, or dining out. Devon’s diverse landscapes and communities offer a wide range of activities year-round.
