If you love the idea of sleeping under the stars but don’t want to shell out hundreds of pounds on gear you’ll use once or twice a year, camping equipment hire could be the perfect solution.

At Gear Again, we make it easy to hire premium tents, sleeping bags, stoves, and more — all delivered straight to your door anywhere in the UK. It’s a smarter, more affordable, and eco-friendly way to experience the outdoors.

Why Hiring Camping Equipment Makes Sense

Save Money on Expensive Outdoor Gear

Camping gear can be pricey — especially if you want quality that stands up to the British weather. A lightweight hiking tent can cost £300 +, while a full wild-camping setup can run past £800.

By hiring, you only pay for what you need, when you need it. You can spend more time planning your adventure and less time stressing about costs.

Travel Light and Skip the Storage Hassle

Not everyone has a garage or loft for bulky tents and sleeping mats. Hiring lets you travel light and store nothing afterwards. Once you’re done, simply send it back — easy.

Reduce Waste and Support a Circular Economy

The outdoor industry produces tons of gear that gets used a handful of times before ending up in landfill. Renting helps change that. Every tent you hire instead of buying new reduces waste and supports a more sustainable way to explore nature.

What Camping Equipment Can You Hire?

Gear Again offers a growing range of high-quality outdoor kit trusted by hikers, campers, and weekend explorers alike.

Tents for Solo, Duo, and Family Adventures

Whether you’re hiking solo or camping as a family, you’ll find the perfect tent. From lightweight MSR tents for wild camping to spacious Wild Country models for comfort, we’ve got you covered.

Sleeping Bags and Mats for a Comfortable Night

Stay warm and rest easy. Our sleeping gear is clean, cosy, and suitable for UK seasons — from chilly spring nights to summer festivals.

Cooking Stoves and Kitchen Kits

Hire compact stoves, pans, and utensils so you can brew your morning coffee wherever you are.

Backpacks, Headtorches, and Accessories

Complete your setup with hiking backpacks, lighting, and waterproofs to make your trip smooth and stress-free.

Who Should Hire Camping Gear?

First-Time Campers Testing the Waters

Not sure if camping is your thing? Hiring lets you try it without the big spend.

Wild Campers and Hikers Travelling Light

If you’re walking trails like the West Highland Way, weight matters. Rent ultralight tents and sleeping systems to keep your pack lean.

Festival Goers and Group Trips

Save your gear from mud and chaos — hire instead. Perfect for festivals, DofE, or group weekends away.

How Gear Again Makes Hiring Camping Equipment Easy

Simple Online Booking

Choose your gear, add your trip dates, and check out. We’ll handle the rest.

Fast UK Delivery and Returns

We deliver direct to your door or workplace. When your trip’s over, pack it up and send it back using our prepaid label.

Clean, Inspected, and Ready-to-Go Gear

Every item is cleaned, checked, and safety-tested before it’s sent. You’ll always receive high-quality equipment ready for adventure.

Comparing Costs: Hire vs Buy

Item Buy Price Weekend Hire You Save
MSR Elixir 2 Tent £320 £45 £275
Sleeping Bag £150 £20 £130
Stove & Cook Kit £80 £10 £70
Total £550 £75 £475 saved

Hiring makes sense for occasional campers. But if you’re out every weekend, buying your own setup can pay off over time.

Sustainable Camping: The Gear Again Difference

At Gear Again, we believe in making adventure circular — extending the life of outdoor gear and reducing waste in the process. Every hire helps keep quality equipment in use and out of landfill.

By hiring instead of buying new, you:

  • Cut CO₂ emissions from manufacturing
  • Prevent materials from going to waste
  • Encourage responsible outdoor habits

Tips for a Smooth Gear Hire Experience

  • Book early, especially in summer — availability goes fast.
  • Check your tent size to match your group and gear.
  • Return items clean and dry to avoid extra fees and help the next camper enjoy their trip too.
