OEX camping accessories
The right accessories are what turn a good tent into a comfortable, well run camp. OEX camping accessories cover the extras and spares that make trips easier, from groundsheets and pole sets that keep a trusted tent going to the small items that make life at camp simpler. Whether you are kitting out for the first time or topping up before a trip, this is the place to find the practical bits that matter.
Tent spares that extend the life of your kit
One of the smartest ways to save money and reduce waste is to repair rather than replace. Genuine spares such as the Bobcat UL pole set and the Bobcat I UL groundsheet let you bring an older tent back to life instead of buying a whole new one. Keeping a spare pole section or a repair kit in your pack also means a small mishap on the hill does not end your trip. Look after your tent and it will look after you for many seasons.
Protecting your tent
A footprint or groundsheet under your tent protects the floor from sharp stones and abrasion, which is a cheap way to extend the life of a more expensive shelter. Good quality pegs suited to the ground you camp on, plus a few spare guy lines, help your tent stand firm when the wind picks up. These small additions make a real difference to how well and how long your tent performs in British conditions.
Small items, big difference
Camp comfort often comes down to the little things: a reliable head torch for moving around after dark, a repair kit for mats and tents, spare pegs, and dry bags to keep clothing and electronics safe from the rain. None of these cost much, but each one saves a headache on the trail. Building up a small kit of dependable accessories means you are ready for whatever a trip throws at you.
Choosing what you need
Rather than buying everything at once, start with the accessories that match your camping and add as you go. A backpacker prioritises light, compact essentials and repair items, while a family camping by the car can carry more comforts. Think about what has caused you problems on past trips, a cold night, a leaky pitch, fumbling in the dark, and let that guide what you add first.
Complete your setup
Accessories round out a kit built around the essentials. Choose a tent for your trip, from the solo Phoxx 1 to the family Coyote 3, add a warm sleeping bag and an insulated sleeping mat, a camping stove for hot food, and a rucksack to carry it all. The right accessories tie the whole setup together.

A seasonal accessory checklist
What you carry changes with the season. In summer you might prioritise a head torch, dry bags and spare pegs; in spring and autumn a footprint, extra guy lines and a repair kit earn their place as the weather turns. Building a small, sensible kit of accessories for the conditions you camp in means you are ready rather than caught out when something goes wrong.
Repair rather than replace
A repair kit is one of the best value items you can carry. A small patch can save a punctured mat, a spare pole section can rescue a trip, and a length of cord fixes a surprising number of problems. Repairing kit rather than replacing it saves money and reduces waste, and genuine tent spares mean a well loved tent can serve you for many more seasons.
Small comforts that matter
Some of the cheapest accessories make the biggest difference to camp life: a reliable head torch for after dark, a comfortable pillow or stuff sack to use as one, and dry bags to keep clothes and electronics safe. None of these weigh much, but together they make a night under canvas far more pleasant.
