Here’s what you should pack for a camping pod break - your complete packing checklist!

Our camping pods breaks have tripled in popularity over the last few years, and it’s not difficult to see why. Those seeking a taste for outdoor living can now enjoy all the fun of camping without the flap of putting up a tent, and can opt for a more comfortable, relaxing and hassle-free outdoor experience!

One of the main benefits of our camping pods is they do not rely on sunny weather, and are something you can enjoy, in comfort, at any time of the year – making them the perfect family retreat!
