About

A Family Business Built by Campers, for Campers

We’re a County Clare family who discovered first-hand that camping can create some of life’s best memories. We also discovered that getting started can be expensive, confusing and sometimes a little daunting.
That’s why we created ReadyCamp.

Our Story

ReadyCamp Ireland began the same way many camping stories do — with a desire to travel, explore and spend more time outdoors without spending a fortune.

Before we had children, we discovered camping while travelling through Croatia. We packed basic tents, limited equipment and plenty of enthusiasm. The setup wasn’t glamorous, but the freedom and adventure were unforgettable.

As a newly married couple living in London, we continued camping regularly and gradually upgraded our equipment. Along the way, we learned that there is often a big difference between simply camping and camping comfortably.

When our children arrived, camping became even more important to us. It gave us a chance to disconnect from screens, spend quality time together and create lasting family memories. Over time, we invested in better equipment and discovered how much premium gear can transform the experience through better sleep, easier setup and greater comfort.

Yet despite owning quality equipment, one thing never changed: the amount of effort required before and after every trip.

Storage, transport, maintenance and drying equipment often felt like a project in themselves.

That experience ultimately led us to create ReadyCamp.

Why We Started ReadyCamp

The idea for ReadyCamp grew from a frustration we experienced ourselves and saw repeatedly among friends and family.
Many people love the idea of camping but are discouraged by the cost and commitment of purchasing equipment. Others worry about buying expensive gear without knowing whether it will genuinely improve their experience. Some simply don’t have the storage space or transport capacity required.
We also noticed that even experienced campers often use their equipment for only a few weeks each year while it spends the remaining months taking up valuable space.
The final inspiration came while planning a family camping holiday to Slovenia. We owned premium camping equipment that we loved using, but transporting it overseas simply wasn’t practical.

It made us ask a simple question:
Why does everyone need to own camping equipment in order to enjoy camping?
Most people don’t buy skis before a ski holiday. They rent quality equipment, enjoy the experience and return it afterwards.

We believed camping could work the same way.

Try Before You Buy

One of the biggest influences on our business was our own hesitation before investing in premium camping equipment.
Quality family tents and camping furniture are significant purchases. Marketing brochures can tell you a lot, but they can’t tell you how well you’ll sleep in a blackout bedroom or how much easier an air-beam tent is to pitch compared with a traditional pole tent.

Before we invested, we would have loved the opportunity to experience premium camping equipment for ourselves before committing to buying it.
ReadyCamp gives families exactly that opportunity.

Whether you’re considering purchasing your own equipment in the future or simply want to enjoy a comfortable camping holiday today, renting allows you to experience premium brands and products in real-world conditions before making a major investment.

Sometimes the best way to understand the value of quality equipment is to spend a weekend using it.

Proudly Based in County Clare

ReadyCamp is proudly family-owned and based in County Clare, one of Ireland’s premier outdoor adventure destinations.

From the dramatic coastline of the Cliffs of Moher to the unique landscapes of The Burren and the countless beaches, trails and campsites along the Wild Atlantic Way, we are fortunate to live in a place that inspires outdoor adventure every day.

Being based in Clare allows us to serve both local families and visitors exploring the west of Ireland.

As a local business, we understand the region, the weather, the campsites and the practical realities of family camping in Ireland.

What Makes ReadyCamp Different?

Premium Equipment
We focus on high-quality equipment from trusted brands such as Outwell because comfort matters, especially for families.

Curated Bundles
Rather than expecting customers to research and select dozens of individual items, we create carefully designed camping packages that work together.

Campsite Delivery
Selected partner campsites can receive and return your equipment on your behalf.

Family-Focused
As parents of three children, we understand what families need from a camping holiday. Practicality, comfort and simplicity are at the heart of every package we offer.

Looking Ahead

ReadyCamp is still at the beginning of its journey, but our vision is clear.
We want to help more people experience the freedom, adventure and connection that camping provides, without the barriers that often come with equipment ownership.

Over time, we hope to expand our range of equipment, support more visitors exploring Ireland and become the first choice for families looking for a simple way to enjoy premium camping.
Most importantly, we want to help create the kind of memories that inspired us to start this business in the first place.

The campfires.
The late-night chats.
The muddy boots.
The fresh air.

The adventures that become family stories for years to come. That’s what ReadyCamp is really about.
