Packing can be a pain at the best of times but with the UK’s unpredictable weather it can be nearly impossible to pack for a holiday on your doorstep.

The UK allows for a wide variety of different holidays, whether that be a luxury holiday in an exclusive hotel or bracing the wild and camping.

Each holiday requires different essentials to be packed and some of these items you may not know you need them until you’re on holiday and are struggling without them.

For this list I am going to focus on camping holidays, as these can be some of the hardest holidays to pack for

Fluffy socks, blankets, and lots of warm clothes

Warm and comfy clothes are some of the most important items that you can pack because, as you can imagine. Night time in the UK can get unbelievably cold whatever time of year. By having additional warm layers will almost guarantee you a better and more comfortable night’s sleep.

Flip Flops, Sliders and Wellies

Another item that is very important when camping is your choice of footwear. Having shoes that you can easily take on and off when going in and out of your tent are essential for keeping your tent clean and tidy. Flip flops, sliders and wellies are very practical when it walking around the campsite.

Raincoats

Raincoats are crucial for a camping holiday in the UK because of the unpredictable nature of British weather. For example, in summer it is too hot for a thick winter coat but not warm enough to get away without a coat due to the wind and rain, meaning that a raincoat is the only option yet it is one that is usually forgotten by British campers.
