Must-have car camping essentials for your next outdoor getaway
There’s something magical about hitting the road and finding a quiet spot in nature to recharge. Car camping lets you explore BC’s scenic parks, lakes, and trails with the freedom and comfort your Volvo provides. Whether you’re cruising in an XC60, XC90, or V60 Cross Country, packing the right gear is key to an unforgettable trip.
Sleeping Comfort Made Simple
Folding your rear seats flat gives you a level platform to set up a sleeping pad or air mattress. Add a cozy sleeping bag and compact pillow, and your Volvo quickly becomes a cozy home under the stars — no tent needed.
Camp Kitchen Basics
A portable stove, cooking pot, reusable utensils, cooler, and water container are essentials. Use Volvo’s power outlets and hands-free tailgate to cook meals wherever you stop.
Smart Storage Solutions
Organize gear in bins or cargo trays to maximize space and keep things tidy. Consider roof boxes for extra storage and to keep bulky items secure.
Lighting and Power
LED lanterns, headlamps, and string lights make nighttime easy and safe. Keep devices charged with power banks or your Volvo’s USB ports.
Safety First
Always carry a first aid kit, jumper cables, tire repair kit, emergency blanket, and flashlight. For remote trips, consider a satellite communicator.
Comfort and Navigation
Bring folding chairs, a compact table, and bug spray for cozy evenings. Use Volvo’s built-in Google Maps or Sensus system, but also download offline maps or carry printed trail maps as backup.
Ready Your Volvo for Adventure
Before you hit the road, book a pre-trip inspection at Morrey Volvo of Burnaby. Our expert technicians will check your tires, fluids, brakes, and battery to ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey ahead.
Embrace the freedom of car camping this summer with your Volvo — where every adventure begins with the right essentials.
