Ever wondered what a camping blogger chooses to take with them on a solo bank holiday camping trip? Read on to see my setup, look inside my tent and find out!

I’ve got a tent for any and every circumstance, and whilst on a solo camp a couple of weeks ago I took my diminutive backpacking tent, and wrecked my back in the process crawling in and out all weekend.

@campingwithstyle What does a camping blogger choose to take camping with them on a 4 day camping trip? The star of the show is the Vango Airbeam Stargrove II which I’ve had for 3 years now and is usually what we choose for the both of us on longer camping trips. Despite this being a solo trip, I love the versatility of it, and of all my larger tents, it’s the quickest and easiest one to put up on my own 🏕️ Knowing the weather would be dodgy, I wanted a tent that would give me comfortable inside chilling space and the ability to cook undercover. The front section opens up fully leaving a covered roof and sides, creating the ideal cooking area as you’ll see 🍳 if you have any questions about my camping gear or any of the things shown that I don’t specifically talk about, just let me know! #inflatabletent #camping #insidemytent #tent #campingsetupideas #campingsetup #vango #outwell ♬ original sound – Camping with Style 🇬🇧🏕️

Despite the fact that I’m known for my ‘extra’ camping setups, a tent this large is overkill even for me, but this time around I wanted space as I needed to take a camp loo, create a proper covered cooking area and I wanted to be able to shelter in comfort from the rain.

Here’s the full list of what I took, some of the items have been gifted to me over the years but many others are personal purchases, which I’ve marked below to provide additional transparency.
