Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help me!

Me and my family would like to experience camping but have no equipment, does anyone know of a place that you can hire it from or a site that hires them out?

Thanks Joanne

Hi Joanne and welcome to the site.

If you do a search for tent rental, camping under canvas, it will bring up two previous posts on this subject.

Hope you find something suitable and Happy Camping

Ask anyone if they want to sell, or give away,  any old equipment.  First time camping, we had a 2 man tent, then borrowed another 2 man one, then invested in a 6 man, then was given a frame tent, then changed to another one (Gelert 4 x 4 Utah), which we're happy with.  I bet there's a lot of happy campers out there similar to us, with a load of old tents in theire garages. 

Anyway, whatever you come up with, happy camping, the people are lovely and it's just great being outdoors

Hiya

Just an idea. have you heard about freecycle? It's a free run group, anything you want rid of but too good for the tip. You can also request a wanted item too, may be worth a go. Have seen several requests for camping items these last few months  lol

Here's teh link to get started:- http://www.freecycle.org/groups/unitedkingdom/

Don't know if it's of any use but these seem to hire out some of the well known makes.
