Easy Camp make some of the best-value drive-away awnings in the UK — well-specified, practical, and consistently well-reviewed by campervan tourers. All three models in our range are poled tunnel awnings designed for campervans, VW conversions, and similar vehicles. At Newquay Camping Shop, we stock the Easy Camp drive-away awning range online with UK-wide delivery and in our Cornwall showroom.
Easy Camp Drive-Away Awnings Overview
Easy Camp's drive-away awnings share a consistent tunnel design philosophy — pre-angled fibreglass poles, interior adjustable steel poles for stability and fabric tension, standing headroom throughout, and full-size toggle-up or bathtub groundsheets. All models fit vans with an attachment height of 170–210cm and attach via a clip-on 7mm bead system.
The three models step up in size and specification: Shamrock (smallest, 210cm connection) → Wimberly (mid, 240cm connection) → Reine 2026 (largest and most specified, 240cm connection with enhanced stability poles and detachable groundsheet).
The Models
Easy Camp Shamrock — £194.99
The entry-level Easy Camp — compact, lightweight, and great value. The Shamrock has a freestanding tunnel design with four curtained windows, a large front door that can be configured as a canopy for extra weather shelter, a large rear door, full-size toggle-up groundsheet, and large air vents front and side. It’s one of the most affordable drive-away awnings in our range with standing headroom.

Easy Camp Reine 2026 — £249.00
The most specified Easy Camp drive-away awning in our range and the 2026 updated model. The Reine uses upgraded Endura Flex fibreglass poles (12.7mm/9.5mm) plus additional exterior poles for increased stability and canopy support — a step up from the interior steel poles in the Shamrock and Wimberly.

Easy Camp Awning Tips
- Attachment height: All three models are designed for vans with a kador rail height of 180–205cm (and fit 170–210cm). VW T4, T5, T6, Mazda Bongo, and Mercedes Vito all fall within this range.
- Drive-away: All three are freestanding when the vehicle is removed — detach the tunnel and roll it up to leave the awning standing on the pitch.
- Inner tents: The Wimberly and Reine both support an optional 2-person inner tent, attachable on either side. The Shamrock does not list an inner tent option.
- Groundsheet: The Shamrock and Wimberly use toggle-up groundsheets. The Reine 2026 has a detachable bathtub groundsheet — easier to remove for breathable pitches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Easy Camp drive-away awnings fit a VW T5 or T6?
Yes — all three Easy Camp models (Shamrock, Wimberly, Reine) are designed to fit VW T4, T5, T6, Mazda Bongo, Mercedes Vito, and similar van conversions with a kador height of 180–205cm.
What is the difference between the Easy Camp Shamrock and Wimberly?
The Wimberly has a longer 240cm roof connection (vs 210cm on the Shamrock), five curtained windows (vs four), and supports an optional 2-person inner tent. The Shamrock is lighter (11.2kg vs 13.5kg) and slightly cheaper (£194.99 vs £199.99). For most tourers, the Wimberly’s extra space is worth the minimal price difference.
What is the difference between the Easy Camp Wimberly and Reine?
Same 240cm roof connection, but the Reine 2026 has fully taped seams, upgraded Endura Flex poles, additional exterior stability poles, and a detachable bathtub groundsheet. The Reine is also lighter than the Wimberly (11.7kg vs 13.5kg) despite the improved spec, and costs £49 more (£249 vs £199.99).
Are Easy Camp awnings freestanding?
Yes — all three models are freestanding when detached from the vehicle, so you can leave them on the pitch while you drive away for the day.
Can I buy Easy Camp awnings in Cornwall?
Yes — Newquay Camping Shop stocks Easy Camp drive-away awnings at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ (Monday to Friday) and online with UK-wide delivery.
