What size car/trailer do you have for all that camping furniture. I bought a folding kitchen stand with a cupboard, but not keen on the space it takes up so going to sell it. Just like our 2 tables for workspace
We just have holdall each for clothes, folding plastic crate with crockery etc, large picnic bag with some groceries in. A garden waste bin for rubbish each day, which folds flat.   Tent usually stays tidy. but we only go for weekends.

I love looking through all the tent photos for organisational ideas and stuff. I find it really interesting to see the different ways people lay out their tents and kitchens and so on.

I'm then full of good ideas, but they never seem to materialise and all our stuff ends up in big Morrisons trolley bags!

I like a soft holdall for clothes rather than a rucksack, one of the top opening type. I like my campbed/sim arrangement because a carboot organiser type thing slides underneath and has compartments which is handy for separating out t'shirts from socks etc. I use a pop up laundry basket from B&M bargains for dirty clothes and just squash it up when I shove it in the car at hometime.

For a weekend camp, I like sturdy 'bags for life' for kitchen things. I usually use two. I like M&S ones because they always have a nice pattern. The current bunch are pale blue and cream.

For longer camps I prefer a utility tent. It keeps nearly everything out of sight and easy to hand when you need it. Then all the living room section has is two chairs, a coffee table (Coleman mini table) and a book!

When in our Montana 6P we have the Outwell Richmond table, the Halifax table for extra Kitchen surface. On longer trips when we take the awning we take the Domingo cupboard for extra food storage.

Clothes and toilets bags go in the Bermuda cupboard which is kept in one of the bedrooms.

I must admit we take A LOT of stuff away with us, but we do like our creature comforts, our main living area always looks tidy, but our awning, which has our kitchen tables, cooker, fridge, electric and 4 seater picnic table always looks busy/untidy.

I only really noticed this after the OH had taken some photos.

We have 2 kitchen tables, one is an outwell which has a zip up doors, in which we keep all of our food, the other is an Hi Gear one which is just a table with a wire rack underneath it which we keep all of our pots, pans, cleaning stuff and various other items which are to heavy to store in the outwell kitchen, it's this kitchen which makes us look really busy/untidy.

Click on the links below to see what tables we have.

Just interested into how you keep you tents under control so to speak.

Leave the kids outside - that'll give you more room :)
