Camperite has been trading selling tents for over 17 years from its location in Marks Tey near Colchester. The previous owner of the site retired at the end of 2002 and the site has been sold to David Broughton. The accessory shop underwent a major facelift for the start of the 2003 to allow more space to stock more of those all-essential bits of equipment. Outside there is space to erect up to 30 tents with a mixed range of Sunncamp, Outwell, Easy Camp and Aztec dome and frame tents so that customers can have a good look round and see the models performing in realistic outdoor conditions.

David himself has been in the camping trade for over 17 years and worked half of that time as a sales representative for the major tent supplier Sunncamp and then left to go and join a retail shop as manager and has also for two years run the biggest camping shows in the country for a London based retailer.  David says “I saw the golden opportunity of owning Camperite Leisure as one not to be missed. I hope that we will be able to provide a personal level of service that sometimes now seems to be missing from some of the bigger camping shops.  I am also in the lucky position that in my time as a representative I was able to visit most of the other camping companies in the country, so hopefully I have taken the best ideas from all these shops to incorporate into my own store."

Although not the biggest shop, with David’s long experience in the trade he has been able to secure excellent deals with suppliers which allows him to offer very competitive pricing but still maintain that personal element of service and advice.  I hope you find us friendly, competitive and helpful.  Please feel free to give us a call and try our service.
