Camping gear at Aldi – new Specialbuys range

If you need to replace old camping gear or looking to try out camping for the first time, Aldi is offering an alternative to traditional outdoors stores, with a new camping range, that hit the stores yesterday.

The discount store seems to want to provide the lot, from tents and tables to sleeping bags and sound systems.  They’ve got bags, pillows, insect repellent socks, tripod stools and lots of useful gear coming. Here are some of the highlights of the range:

Pop Up Tent at £19.99

Quick to assemble and big enough to accommodate three adults comfortably. Its handy porch entrance is great for storing muddy boots and making meals.

Mummy style sleeping bag at £17.99

Available in dark grey with choice of beige, green or blue zip, the bag is tapered for extra snugness to help keep you warm once the sun goes down.

Portable gas cooker at £9.99

Lightweight enough to carry easily, but has enough power to heat your beans.

In store from 26 June are some more family orientated camping products, including:

Small Pop Up Gazebo at £14.99

Functional and pitches in seconds, making it perfect for both camping trips and garden play.

HD Portable Satellite Kit at £59.99

Easily installed on a car roof, on the ground, a mast or table, its receiver lets you access free-to-air HD channels with live pause, record and playback. You can even sit back and enjoy your favourite tunes or playback your holiday pictures and videos before you head home.

Double Air Bed at £13.99

Its small carry bag make it easily transportable and it inflates in a matter of minutes.  Once you’re home the bed also makes an ideal spare bed for unexpected visitors.
