We run a busy campsite in Normandy and this little label maker has saved so many “Where does this go?” conversations. Great for labelling storage, cleaning cupboards, electrics, guest info boxes – it just keeps everyone on the same page.
DYMO LetraTag LT-100H Handheld Label Maker
If you’re running a campsite without whiteboards, you’re making life harder than it needs to be. We use ours for staff rotas, daily jobs, stock reminders and little notes for volunteers. It keeps the chaos out of our heads and up on the wall.
VIZ-PRO Whiteboard Alurahmen 110x75cm
The unsung hero of our campsite: Didan POS handles check-ins, burgers, beers and bill-splitting while we run around pretending everything’s under control.

These Motorola walkie talkies are our secret weapon in peak season. Instead of sprinting across the field every five minutes, we can coordinate check-ins, maintenance and bar orders in seconds.

When the power goes out (and it will), this is the lantern you’ll be grateful for. Rechargeable, solar and with a magnetic base – we use this for emergency call-outs, late-night pitch problems and power cuts.
SUBOOS Rechargeable Solar & Battery Camping Lantern
Not glamorous, but these are non-negotiable. With kids, flip flops and wet floors in the showers and bar area, having proper wet floor signs out shows guests you’re on it and that you take safety seriously.
BERRY Set of 2 Foldable Wet Floor Signs
If you run a campsite and don’t have one of these yet, learn from our mistakes. Dead batteries, forgotten lights, cold mornings – this boost pack has saved so many holidays.
NOCO Boost GB40 1000A Jump Starter 12V
Two words: silicone bristles. Less gunk, less smell, more “our toilets are spotless” comments on reviews. Completely unexciting, absolutely essential.
Hulameda Silicone Toilet Brush & Holder 2 Pack
These little yellow bricks keep the whole campsite running – strimmers, drills, pruners, you name it. We have a frankly silly number of them and still guard them like gold.
Dewalt DCB184-XJ 18V XR Battery 5.0 Ah
If you want scroll-stopping Reels of your site without hiring a film crew, this little drone is dangerously persuasive.

This DeWalt hand pruner has been a game changer for us with brambles and overgrowth. Perfect for those awkward corners around pitches and pathways where the strimmer can’t quite reach.
DEWALT DCMPP568N-XJ XR 18V Hand Pruner 38mm
The closest thing to a magic spell for mould, lichen and algae. Spray it on, walk away, pretend you’ve done hours of pressure washing.
