For friends who love nature, camping is an activity that allows you to get close to the outdoors. But for those who want to try camping for the first time or occasionally want to get close to nature, buying a full set of camping equipment may not be realistic. What should you do?
Don't worry! Now there are more and more "camping equipment rentals" that can easily solve your problem!
The editor has also compiled a guide to renting camping equipment for everyone, including the rental process and recommending excellent camping equipment rental stores in Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung for your reference!
Simply put, it saves money, especially for camping beginners who only camp occasionally or want to try camping for the first time. In addition to rental services, it can also provide you with a wider variety of more professional camping equipment options, which can meet your needs in different camping locations and weather conditions. You also don't have to bear the large expenses of buying camping equipment in the early stages of the camping activity.
Also, you can try out and experience different brands and functions of equipment through renting, which is convenient for future reference if you really want to buy camping equipment yourself. It's a win-win situation.
1. Please confirm the basic camping equipment needed for the camping site. For example: the equipment needed for high-altitude camping areas is different from that of low-altitude camping areas.
2. You can refer to the customer reviews of camping equipment rental stores to avoid pitfalls.
3. The prices of camping equipment rentals vary in different areas. It is recommended to understand the rental terms in detail to avoid subsequent disputes.
In addition, the editor would like to especially suggest that before renting, you must re-check the condition of the equipment, so that you won't find problems with the equipment when you get to the campsite and can't use it, or have to bear the compensation fees for the store later!
Camping equipment rental methods are generally divided into the following three types:
1. Online reservation.
2. Physical store rental.
3. Campsite rental.
But the process is actually similar. After selecting the camping equipment you need to rent, you can pay the deposit and complete the payment. However, the editor suggests that if you want to rent on-site, you can contact the store manager first to confirm whether there is equipment you want to avoid making a wasted trip!
Before going camping, you need to prepare all the equipment needed for camping. Basically, you need a tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag or inflatable mattress, and portable stoves and cooking utensils for cooking and eating...etc.
But if you are a camping newbie and don't have a clue about what to prepare for camping, you can also refer to the camping equipment list specially compiled by the editor to prepare!

A: Yes! If you don't mind the equipment being used, there are many Facebook communities or websites similar to "Camping Equipment Flea Market" online to choose from, but because you can't see the actual condition of the items when trading online, it is easier to have disputes. Please assess the risks yourself!
If you are campers who prefer to prepare and experience the fun of setting up tents by themselves, the editor highly recommends using the camping equipment rental service for the first time to save a lot of expenses on camping supplies.
But if you are like the editor, who is afraid of trouble but likes camping, then why not try the editor's favorite "equipment-free camping" or "glamping"!
