About us

Your one-stop shop for quality camping and caravanning gear, proudly Aussie-owned and family-run.

Our story started on the open road. For two unforgettable years, our family travelled Australia, from the red dirt of the Outback to the crystal-clear waters of the coast, camped under star-filled skies, and explored every hidden gem we could find.

Along the way, we quickly learned the value of having reliable, practical, and durable camping and caravanning gear. Whether it was a chilly night in Tasmania or a rugged track through the Kimberley, good gear made all the difference.

But our adventures didn’t just begin on that trip but have evolved over the years, and our set-ups have changed just as much as we have.

Roof Tent In Africa

Our travelling life together began with a Defender and a roof-top tent, driving through Southern and Eastern Africa. It was a small, compact set-up that could take us anywhere — and it kept us safely off the ground, away from the curious wildlife! The challenge, of course, was having to pack everything up just to head out sightseeing for the day.

Ground Tents on the East Coast of Australia

Before kids, and with a large dog, we spent weekends exploring the east coast in ground tents. It was simple, cheap, and felt like “real” camping, sand in the bed and all! But as trips got longer and if the weather turned, the lack of comfort really showed, and once our first child arrived, space quickly became an issue.

Forward Fold Camper Trailer

With two kids and a dog, we upgraded to a forward-fold camper trailer. It gave us loads of space, a huge annex, and the ability to settle in comfortably for weeks at a time. It carried all the gear and comforts we could want, though on one-night stops after long driving days, the set-up and pack-down definitely tested our patience.

Hybrid Off-Road Caravan

Next came a hybrid off-road caravan, which felt like pure luxury: real beds, plenty of water and power, and still small enough to squeeze into trickier spots. But when we began full-time travel, the limited space inside — especially not having an internal kitchen or ensuite — left us wanting more.

Finally, we moved into a full-size off-road caravan — a true small house on wheels. It had everything we needed: proper beds, kitchen, bathroom, washing machine, and plenty of water and power to live comfortably on the road. It took us around Australia with all the comforts of home. The trade-off was its size — you couldn’t just whip a u-turn when you missed a turn-off, and planning trips into towns became part of the journey.

Through each of these set-ups, we discovered what worked, what didn’t, and just how much the right gear can make or break an adventure.

That’s why we started Campalot — to help fellow travellers enjoy the road as much as we did. Every product we stock is something we’d be happy to use ourselves, tested against real-world travel experiences and chosen for quality, practicality, and value.

We’re here not just as a store, but as fellow adventurers who understand the joys, challenges, and magic of life on the road. Whether you’re just starting out with a ground tent, upgrading to a caravan, or planning the trip of a lifetime, we hope to make your adventures easier, more comfortable, and a whole lot more fun.
