Contented Camping provides hire of tents, camping equipment and motorhomes

Hire quality outdoor equipment to try before you buy

Contented Camping offers a service to those first-timers who are unsure about whether camping is for them, or maybe are planning a one-off camping trip and don't want to invest in all the camping gear. Or simply just don't want to store all the camping stuff at home for a once-a-year trip. Sure enough, there are some very cheap deals on the high street to get you started - but you get what you pay for.

If you really want to try camping at its best, without forking out lots right now, then hire a top quality Vango or Outwell tent at whatever size suits your family or group. Do it in real comfort with top-of-the-range Aerobed airbeds, Easy Camp tables and Outwell deluxe chairs and even Royal storage units. It's great value and super quality and all delivered straight to your home. What could be an easier and more reassuring way to get started in camping?

Go to How It Works to find out how to book the camping gear that's right for you. Check out the packing list page to see what else you need to take. Submit your order, book the campsite (try useful links for the best campsite directories online) and just look forward to the start of a whole new way of holidaying. You can get back to nature in comfort and style, enjoy the simple things in life and spend a bit of quality time with those who are most important to you.

Once you're tried the camping experience with Contented Camping, found that the kids loved it and you've now all got the camping bug, go to the Ready to Buy page to find great deals for buying all the camping equipment you need with a leading online retailer, Outdoor Megastore.

If you're not convinced holidaying under canvas is ever going to appeal, then go straight to the motorhome hire section, where you can hire a motorhome to suit your party size at a wide range of UK and worldwide locations, to get the outdoor holiday experience on wheels.
