The Easy Camp Drive Away Awning Range
Easy Camp Utne — 2026 Model
The Utne is Easy Camp's flagship drive-away awning for 2026. It's a well-specified inflatable awning offering a generous footprint and easy pitching — ideal for campervans and motorhomes needing a reliable, no-fuss shelter for extended stays on Cornwall pitches.
Easy Camp Reine — 2026 Model
The Reine is the Utne's compact sibling — a lighter, more packable option that suits shorter trips or tighter pitches. A great choice for those who want Easy Camp quality in a smaller package.
Easy Camp Eidfjord — Vehicle Awning 2026
The Eidfjord is Easy Camp's dedicated vehicle awning for 2026 — designed to attach directly to the side of your campervan or motorhome for a clean, close-fitting setup. A great choice if you want a more integrated look on pitch.
Easy Camp Fairfields — Proven All-Rounder
The Fairfields is Easy Camp's trusted all-rounder — a practical, well-priced drive-away awning that has been popular with Cornwall and Devon tourers for its straightforward setup and solid weather performance.
Easy Camp Shamrock
The Shamrock is a compact, lightweight drive-away option — ideal for weekend trips and tighter pitches, or as a second awning kept ready in the van for short stops.
Easy Camp Wimberly
The Wimberly is a solid tunnel-style drive-away awning offering good internal space for its price. The optional Wimberly Inner Tent adds a sleeping compartment, making it a versatile option for families.

Beyond Drive-Away: Canopies & Tailgate Options
Easy Camp also offers a range of lighter shelters for those who don't need a full drive-away awning:
Canopies — Quick Shelter Solutions
Easy Camp canopies attach to your vehicle and provide a covered outdoor area without the full footprint of a drive-away awning. Ideal for day use, cooking, or keeping kit dry on arrival.
Tailgate Awnings — Rear-Entry Options
For SUVs, panel vans, and vehicles without a side door, Easy Camp's tailgate awnings provide quick, easy shelter from the rear of your vehicle.
Who Are Easy Camp Awnings Best For?
Easy Camp awnings are ideal if you:
- Are buying your first drive-away awning and want reliable quality without a premium price
- Tour occasionally rather than every weekend and want a practical, no-fuss setup
- Need a lighter, more compact option that's easy to store in your van
- Are on a tighter budget but still want a trusted brand with good UK support
For frequent tourers or those regularly pitching on exposed Cornwall coastal sites, you may want to consider stepping up to the Vango or Outwell ranges for enhanced weather performance — but for most campers, Easy Camp delivers excellent value.
Tips for Pitching in Cornwall & the South West
Devon and Cornwall pitches can be challenging — coastal exposure, Atlantic wind, and unpredictable weather are part of the package. When pitching your Easy Camp awning in the South West:
- Always use guylines — even on calm-looking days, coastal wind can pick up quickly
- Peg the skirt down fully — this makes a significant difference to weather resistance in rain
- Position away from the wind where possible — use your vehicle as a windbreak
- Check the awning rail connection before leaving pitch — make sure it's secure if you're driving away and leaving the awning standing

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Easy Camp drive away awning is best for a VW campervan?
The Easy Camp Reine and Shamrock are both well suited to VW campervans — they're compact, lightweight, and easy to pitch solo. The Utne is a good choice if you want a bit more internal space. Bring your van's door height measurement when ordering to make sure you choose the right attachment height.
Are Easy Camp awnings waterproof enough for Cornwall?
Yes — Easy Camp awnings use polyester fabrics with a solid waterproof rating, and when properly pegged out with guylines, they perform well in typical South West rain. For very exposed coastal pitches or extended bad weather, the higher-spec Vango or Outwell ranges offer enhanced waterproofing and wind resistance.
Do Easy Camp drive away awnings come with a pump?
The inflatable models in the Easy Camp range typically include a pump. Check the individual product listing to confirm what's included, as accessories can vary by model year.
What's the difference between a drive away awning and a canopy?
A drive-away awning is a larger shelter with full side walls, doors, and windows — designed to be left standing when you drive away from the pitch. A canopy (like the Easy Camp Stryn or Voss) is a simpler overhead shelter without full enclosure — ideal for shade and light weather protection, but not suitable for sleeping in or leaving unattended.
Can I add a bedroom to my Easy Camp Wimberly?
Yes — the Easy Camp Wimberly Inner Tent is an optional bedroom add-on that clips inside the awning, adding a proper sleeping compartment. It's a great way to increase your camping capacity without buying a separate tent.
