Family camping: nature, relaxation & unforgettable memories

A camping vacation with the family promises not only relaxation in nature, but also unforgettable adventures for the children.
At a time when many of us are overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life, camping offers a welcome break where you can focus on the essentials: connecting with nature and family.
Take this opportunity to create precious memories with your children and discover the joys of camping life.

You can read here what makes a camping vacation with the family so valuable:

After an active day of romping around, a good night’s sleep is particularly important.
However, this can be a bit cramped in a conventional tent, especially for larger families.
For this reason, we would like to introduce you to tent trailers.

Tent trailers: comfortable sleeping for young and old

With a tent trailer, you benefit from a small footprint during transportation, but enjoy all the more space on the campsite – even if you are traveling with a larger family.
This makes it particularly attractive for families embarking on camping adventures.
With a tent trailer, you don’t have to compromise on sleeping quality, even if you’re traveling with a larger family.
There is enough space for everyone to stretch out comfortably and enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Tent trailers: a space miracle for camping with the family

Flexible on the road: camping with bike racks

A camping vacation offers particularly exciting opportunities for outdoor activities.
From hiking and various outdoor activities to cycling – there is something for everyone.
Some tent trailers even offer the option of attaching a bike rack to make exploring the surrounding area even more flexible.

Add-on tent: more privacy & comfort

A pop-up tent is a useful addition to your camping trip, especially if your children are a little older.
It allows you to set up two separate sleeping areas, resulting in a more relaxed experience for everyone.
While the younger family members can sleep safely and comfortably in their own area, you can enjoy the privacy and comfort of your own sleeping area.
This makes camping with the family a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Almost like two bedrooms: an extension tent.

Roof tent & tent trailer: more space for everyone

Another useful extension is a roof tent.
By transporting a roof tent on your car, the trailer coupling remains free for a tent trailer.
This creates additional sleeping and living space, which is particularly beneficial for slightly older children.
This way, everyone has their own retreat and there is more space for everyone.
Creative camping idea: The Campwerk Adventure roof tent with a width of 140 cm in combination with your tent trailer offers a good solution for families.
This roof tent offers enough space for 1-2 people and can be used perfectly by the parents while the children share the tent trailer.
This practical solution ensures maximum flexibility and allows you to make the most of the limited space without sacrificing comfort and privacy.

More space?
Combine roof tent and tent trailer!

Or you can buy a larger roof tent for the children and the parents sleep in the tent trailer.

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
