Camping gear storage system set up in your garage. Tents, sleeping bags, cooking kit, chairs - all organised, off the floor, and ready for your next adventure.
Your Camping Gear Deserves Better Than a Pile
Tents shoved in a corner getting mildew, sleeping bags stuffed randomly, no idea where the gas stove is - proper storage means next trip starts smoothly instead of with an hour of garage archaeology.
💡 Pro tip: The worst thing you can do is store a tent damp. Even a bit of condensation left packed up will cause mildew. Proper storage keeps it ventilated and dry.

What to Expect
Step 1: Assess the Space
Look at your garage, work out what wall/floor/ceiling space is available, plan where different types of gear will go.
Step 2: Install Storage Systems
Wall hooks secured to studs, shelving built or mounted, overhead racks fitted if needed. Everything goes up solid and level.
Step 3: Organise the Gear
Help you sort gear into logical groups, get it onto hooks/shelves, label boxes if you're using them. Everything accessible and tidy.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's how to make camping gear storage work:
🔧 What you'll need
- Heavy-duty wall hooks (rated for weight - tents are heavy)
- Shelving units (metal garage shelving works well)
- Clear storage boxes with lids
- Drill and wall plugs
- Spirit level
- Stud finder (for solid mounting)
📐 Planning the layout
- Group gear by type: sleeping, cooking, shelter, etc
- Heavy/bulky stuff on walls or floor-level shelves
- Small frequently-used items at eye level
- Seasonal stuff up high or at back
- Leave space to walk through!
🔨 Installation tips
- Wall hooks: Must go into studs or use heavy-duty wall anchors
- Shelving: Level it properly - wonky shelves make boxes slide
- Overhead: Only if you've got ceiling joists to secure into
- Clear the floor: Aim is to get everything vertical
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Hooks into plasterboard only - they'll pull out
- Not leaving access space between storage
- Storing tents while still damp
- Putting heavy stuff on flimsy shelves
💡 Pro trick: Hang sleeping bags loosely in breathable bags rather than keeping them compressed in stuff sacks. Keeps the insulation lofted and extends their life.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
⛺ Regular camper? Set up a "grab and go" section with your most-used kit front and centre. Saves loads of time when you're packing for a weekend trip.
Often combined with:
- General garage organisation
- Bike storage solutions
- Tool wall systems
- Sports equipment storage
Seasonal access: If you only camp in summer, we can put that gear higher/further back and have your winter gear more accessible. Swap them around when seasons change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need special storage for camping gear?
Because chucking it in a pile in the garage means next time you want to camp, you're hunting for tent pegs, can't find the gas stove, and your sleeping bags smell musty. Proper storage means everything's dry, accessible, and ready to go. Plus it stops tents getting mildew from being stored damp.
What sort of storage system works for camping stuff?
Mix of wall-mounted hooks (for big awkward stuff like tents and chairs), shelving (for boxes of smaller kit), and maybe overhead storage if you've got roof space. The aim is getting bulky stuff off the floor while keeping it accessible. I'll work with whatever garage space you've got.
Can you store it even if my garage is full of other stuff?
Usually yes - camping gear is seasonal so we can put it up high or on wall space. Often it's actually clearing and organising that reveals you've got way more room than you thought. I'll make it work with your existing garage setup.
Do I need to buy storage gear first or do you supply it?
Either way. If you've already got shelving units or boxes, I'll install them efficiently. If not, I can advise what'll work for your space and gear, then source and fit it. Screwfix and B&Q stock everything needed.
How long does it take to set up camping gear storage?
Depends on what we're installing. Simple wall hooks and a couple of shelves might be 1-2 hours. Full garage reorganisation with multiple systems could be 3-4. I'll give you a better estimate once I see the space and what you're storing.
