This is our first year camping and I'm planning some things for next year for storing everything to make it easier to get our kit from house to car to campsite and vice versa.

I'm planning on buying some large plastic boxes of differing size for the tent, plates etc, stove and so on.

For clothes I have two ideas. The first is to buy 2 stackable boxes. Load them into the car one inside the other and when we get to the campsite, unpack the car and then lift the top box which will have the clothes off the empty one below and sit them side by side in the boot. Once we have worn the clothes, put them into the empty box and if things work out properly then by the end of the holiday we should have one full box of washing and an empty box where the clean stuff was.

When packing away, put the full box of washing inside the empty one.

The second idea is that with the parcel shelf removed and the seats folded forward, get a length of clothes rail from Homebase and cut it to size to fit in the clips that normally secure the parcel shelf and then use it to hang the clothes up.

Dirty clothing gets put in a big blue Ikea bag which is kept in the car boot.

I used to use those Ikea bags, but ditched them in favour of something that closes securely after inadvertently dropping my knickers in the street.
