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.

A go-to choice by avid camping enthusiasts, Camping Gears PH offers a wide array of outdoor equipment. From rechargeable lanterns that could luminate the entire site to a water tank that you can strap on the roof rack, they have the necessities to ensure you’re enjoying your camping experience.

Worried about camping essentials? Fret not, because Decathlon PH has a specific category for campers on their website that would help you pick the right tool for every need. They offer a waterproof floor mat in case it rains, foldable chairs for you and the kiddos, and a convenient shelter that’s compact and easy to set up, among others.

If you’re looking for a rooftop tent that has all you need, OutdoorMan has it for you.

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. The micro camper trailer, for instance, won't need a pickup car or an SUV to be towed because it’s lightweight.
