After a few camping trips with the kids I need a better solution for storing clothes as it can become a big mess

My current plan is to get one of these storage units so I can pack the clothes straight into the drawers before we leave and not need to worry about holdalls then assemble it when we arrive

Unless theres a better Idea?

we use the storage draws as you've posted above, the children have one each for their clothes. Takes up a lot of room in trailer but well worth it also keeps their pods tidy!

I'm hoping we can get away with just the one for all of us but will have to see how much I can squeeze into each drawer

We use 2 of these, they pack flat so take no room up, they hang off the poles in the tent and they take less than 30 seconds to put up...Result...£8.50 each from Ikea

They look great Graham but unsure how I'd hang that inside my tent as i don't have any internal poles unless I could double it up with free standing clothes rail

We have the drawer storage units, both for clothes/toiletries and also kitchen/living area.. Everything is all ready in them to just pick them up & put them in the van, then straight into the tent!
I'm so glad we have the van, couldn't fit what we have in a car!

To be honest, we have four children and just put ours in hubbys big navy bags - we have 2. So long as were organised with it weve found it no problem :)

I use the plastic storage drawers for kitchen stuff and food and then we each have a storage box with lid for clothes which are stored under our camp beds.
Soooo easy to just pack them, lift them into the car and then lift them into the tent when we arrive!

I like the kind of soft holdall that has a pocket on each end. One holdall per person, clean undies in one end and a plastic bag in the other end for dirty undies. It's up to each person to keep it tidy (or not, up to themselves!). It sits at the end of each bed.

I used exactly like Graham on a clothes rail like the one in the picture.  I also use Ikea's Skubb folding fabric boxes, which conveniently fix perfectly inside each shelf of the hanging jobby.  Space in our car and in the roof box is an absolute premium (there is none!) so everything has to be economical on how much room it takes up - this seems to be the best option to keep everything relatively organised in the tent for us. Oh, we also have 2 folding camping cupboards, but I got annoyed when my two boys pulled everything out just to find a clean t-shirt!
