Preparing your bell tent for a glamping trip? While your tent provides shelter, you need to bring the essential camping accessories so that you’re ready to have fun. Make sure you have everything you need for a safe, comfortable trip in this guide. Let’s dive in!
Importance of Bell Tent Accessories
If you’ve just bought a bell tent in the UK (or are still on the hunt for your perfect glamping accommodation), don’t forget the must-have accessories. Some of these are essential for ensuring your tent gets up and - crucially - stays up. Others, though not vital for your survival, do make for a cosier glamping trip.
Top Bell Tent Accessories For Glamping Trips
To save you the hassle of research, we’ve taken a quick run through some of our bell tent must-haves:
• Tent Pegs: Most bell tents in the UK will come with tent pegs to make sure you can secure your canvas to the ground. However, before packing for your glamping trip, it’s always worth double-checking that you have enough for your tent! If you need a few extra, we recommend wooden tent pegs over cheaper plastic options for superior sustainability and unmatched durability.
• Mallet: A mallet makes it a whole lot easier to hammer your tent pegs securely into the ground. Whether the soil you’re camping on is rocky, compacted, or super dry, you’ll be good to go with a mallet by your side.
• Jute Rugs: If you want a naturally sourced carpet for your tent interior, this is a fabulous choice. Jute rugs keep the dust and dirt away from your bell tent floor and are far easier to pick up and shake off than your larger ground sheet. They add a little insulation to your bell tent, too, which is ideal when you’re glamping out of the summer season.
• Cotton Canvas Waterproofing: Nobody wants a leaking tent on their glamping trip. To make sure yours stays weatherproof year after year, invest in a reliable cotton canvas waterproofing treatment. These aren’t too tricky to apply and ensure your bell tent remains dry and snuggly even in downpours.
