Whether you’re heading to the mountains, the coast, or a favourite hidden spot, packing the right gear can make or break your trip.

The Easter holidays are almost here, and after a non-stop start to the year, I can’t wait to swap screens for starry skies, campfire meals, and slow mornings in the outdoors. Whether you’re heading to the mountains, the coast, or a favourite hidden spot, packing the right gear can make or break your trip. Easter camping is the perfect time to escape the daily grind, soak up a long weekend, and make some epic memories with your favorite people. As the nights start to cool down, there’s nothing better than rugging up in a cozy sleeping bag, wrapping your hands around a steaming hot choccy, and roasting marshmallows to golden perfection. Pure bliss, right?

That’s why I’ve put together a must-have gear list to keep you warm, dry, and well-housed without overpacking. From lightweight tents and camp furniture to camp kitchen essentials and cozy camp clothing, these picks will help you make the most of your Easter escape. So, whether you're a seasoned camper or heading out for your first Easter adventure, here’s what you need to pack!

Your Easter Camp Haven: The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL5 

If you love comfort, stability, and easy setup, the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL5 is about to be your new best friend. This ultralight 5-person tent gives you plenty of headroom (152 cm!), weighs just 3.25 kg, and is perfect for everything from multi-day hikes to lazy base-camp mornings.

Got kids? You’ll love the extra space to keep them safe and close. Need a different fit? It comes in sizes from solo to 5-person, plus XL/Long and bikepacking versions—so there’s a perfect match for your adventures. When the weather turns, bunker down inside with a game of Uno.
