First-time campers unite: Here’s where to buy camping essentials for your next outing
If you have ever seen campers—be it through your friends, followed celebrities, and variety shows—you would know that prepping for camping also meant knowing which gear to bring.
Recently, we saw Catriona Gray go on a camping trip with Sam Milby in Laguna with their Jeeps in tow. Frequent campers Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque, who went to Tanay, Rizal during Holy Week, also brought several tents in different sizes. And Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos, whose "perfect day" consists of a trip to a camp site, put up a simple tent and table.
Having the right gear and tools would save you from any inconvenience throughout your trip, so you have to make sure you come prepared.
So, if you haven’t tried camping before and are oblivious of the things you have to bring, then you’re in luck because these local shops got your back.

If you’re venturing into a full-time commitment to camping, why not up the ante of your experience by buying a camping trailer? Phoenix Campers PH makes a variety of trailers.
