From a weekend down the coast to a week exploring somewhere well beyond phone reception, camping is one of the best ways to experience Australia.
The trick is having gear that makes setting up camp simple.
Coleman camping gear has been a familiar sight at Australian campsites for years, with a range covering tents, chairs, bedding, lighting, pumps and camp equipment.
If a new tent is at the top of your camping list, there are several things worth considering before choosing one.
Which Coleman Tent Is Right for You?
Start with how you actually camp.
A couple heading away for two nights has very different requirements from a family of five setting up for a week.
The Coleman tent range available through Off Grid Superstore includes several sizes and configurations, from compact Swagger models through to large Instant Up family tents.
Coleman Instant Up Tents for Family Camping
Nobody wants to arrive at camp late in the afternoon and spend the next hour fighting with tent poles.
Coleman’s Instant Up designs are built around making setup considerably easier, with pre-attached poles helping reduce the amount of work involved in getting your shelter ready.
For larger groups, the Coleman 10P Gold Series Evo Instant Up Tent provides substantial room for family camping, while 4P and 6P options can be better suited to smaller groups who want to reduce the overall size of their setup.
DarkRoom Tents for Australian Conditions
Anyone who has camped through an Australian summer knows how quickly a tent can become bright once the sun comes up.
Coleman’s Northstar Instant Up range includes DarkRoom technology designed to reduce the amount of daylight entering the tent.
Options within the current range include the Coleman 4P and 6P Northstar Series Instant Up DarkRoom tents.
For campers who appreciate a slower start in the morning, families with younger children or anyone camping in exposed locations, this can be a useful feature to consider.
Going Smaller? Look at Coleman Swagger Tents
Not every camping trip calls for a large family tent.
For solo travellers, couples and campers who want a more compact setup, explore the Coleman Swagger Tent range.
These smaller designs can be particularly useful for shorter trips where you want to keep the amount of equipment you’re carrying under control.
Build Your Complete Coleman Camping Setup
A good campsite is about more than your tent.
Once your shelter is sorted, think about the equipment that will make the campsite comfortable and practical.
The broader Coleman camping collection includes camp chairs, bedding, lanterns and torches, pumps, stoves and accessories.
For sleeping, an air mattress can add considerably more comfort than sleeping directly on the tent floor. For relaxing around camp, a sturdy chair with a side table gives you somewhere for food, drinks or a book without adding another piece of furniture to your setup.
Lighting is another item that’s easy to underestimate until you’re trying to cook or find something after sunset.
Getting Ready for Off Grid Camping in Australia
If you’re travelling further away from powered campsites, planning becomes even more important.
Consider how you’ll handle:
-
Shelter and sleeping
-
Food and cooking
-
Drinking water
-
Lighting
-
Portable power
-
Solar charging
-
Food and drink storage
-
Toilets and showering
-
Emergency equipment
A reliable tent forms the base, but combining it with the right camping equipment can turn a basic setup into somewhere you’re genuinely comfortable spending several days.
