Camping & gonflablesLégers, compacts, indispensables
Pool, kayak, mattress, chairs: inflatables lighten and enrich outdoor holidays.

Light when deflated, compact in the trunk, and versatile: inflatable accessories are the best friends of campers and holidaymakers. For sleeping, cooling down, boating, playing, or relaxing, there's an inflatable suitable for every outdoor need. This guide reviews the essentials to take camping or on holiday, and the criteria for choosing them well.

1. Why inflatables are your camping ally

  • Light & compact: when deflated, it fits in a bag and doesn't weigh down the trunk.
  • Versatile: sleeping, swimming, boating, playing—one spirit for all needs.
  • Economical: holiday comfort without heavy or expensive equipment.
  • Quick to set up: a pump, a few minutes, and it's ready.

For sleeping and resting, an inflatable mattress is essential, and an inflatable house/cabin can serve as a play area or temporary shelter (see our inflatable house guide). For shade and hospitality, an inflatable tent can be set up in a flash.

3. For cooling down at the campsite

When it's hot, nothing beats an inflatable pool (see our pool guide) for children, an inflatable water slide for fun, and buoys and mattresses for splashing around. For pitches with water access, an inflatable spa even adds a touch of luxury.

4. On the water: lake, river, sea

An inflatable boat or kayak (see our inflatable boat guide) opens access to nautical excursions, while a floating platform creates a swimming and relaxation base. Light and transportable, they fit into a backup backpack.

5. Fun and relaxation

To keep children occupied, a small inflatable castle or beach games work wonders. For parents, there's nothing like an inflatable chair or sofa (see our relaxation guide) to enjoy the sunset. Don't forget a pump and repair kit.

6. Choosing your inflatables for camping

Criterion Why it's important
Weight & compactness Space in the trunk, ease of transport
PVC strength Resists natural ground and UV rays
Inflation type Foot/electric pump, quick valves
Versatility One product for multiple uses
Repair kit Essential when away from home
Tip: choose lightweight products that are easy to inflate (quick valves) and come with a repair kit. Also check if your campsite has an electrical outlet or water point nearby.

7. The camper's checklist

  • A suitable pump (foot or electric depending on equipment).
  • A repair kit (patches + glue).
  • A ground mat to protect structures.
  • Something to weigh down/anchor in case of wind.
  • A waterproof transport bag for storage.

FAQ: Inflatables and Camping

Which inflatables should I prioritize for camping?

It depends on your holiday, but a mattress for sleeping, a pool or water toys for the children, and a floating chair for relaxation form a winning trio. If you're camping near a lake or the sea, add a kayak or a floating platform. Never forget the pump and repair kit.

How to inflate them without electricity?

A foot or hand pump works everywhere; there are also electric pumps with rechargeable batteries or car lighters, very practical for camping. Check the valve type of your products and bring the appropriate nozzle. Some campsites have outlets on pitches or in sanitary facilities.

Are they resistant enough for natural ground?

Thick PVC holds up well, but natural ground (stones, branches, dry grass) remains abrasive. Place a ground mat under structures, choose a clear spot, and avoid dragging inflatables. A repair kit allows for quick sealing of any puncture.

Can you bring an inflatable pool camping?

Yes, it's one of the most popular accessories for cooling down children. Choose a model suitable for the age and space of your pitch, check the campsite's rules regarding water, and empty/rinse the pool between uses. Child supervision remains essential.

How to store them wet?

Avoid it as much as possible: the ideal is to let them dry before folding. If you must fold them wet (leaving in the morning), unfold and dry them as soon as possible at the next stop, as humidity promotes mold. An aerated transport bag limits odors in the meantime.

Is an inflatable spa suitable for camping?

On a pitch with electricity and the campsite's agreement, a small inflatable spa adds a real touch of comfort. Check the available power, internal regulations, and water management. For pitches without sufficient electricity, it's better to stick to a pool and water games.
