Give them the adventurous childhood of your dreams
Living in an inner-city area, we wanted for our son what we had as children.
That was an appreciation for nature, and the chance to roam freely with his friends, and explore and just be kids, as long as he was back for dinner.
Our desire to become a camping family was a big part of that, even if just for the few weeks of the year when we were camping.
As was our desire to experience the joys of camping, and the special bonds created with our friends and extended family.
Knowing how much we love camping with our friends, when our son asked if he could invite a friend, we knew the answer had to be yes.
The problem was, four years after our rocky start, we were just becoming confident campers.
AND, our wagon was just barely big enough for us and our gear, let alone another human and his clothes, bedding, chair and possibly even a bike!
So, with a car not big enough, no desire to get a bigger one, and nowhere to store a trailer, we were in a dilemma.
I looked at the setup that we'd coupled together over the past few years, including all of those regret buys, excessively bulky items, and things we didn't need.
I saw there was a lot of wasted space and unnecessary items.
So, I bit the bullet.
Out went anything that didn't justify it's existence, and in went light weight, easily stackable and packable gear.
While I was at it, I established a plan for how to pack the car, revamped the camp kitchen and also improved our "packing, pitching and packing up" times as well.
The result?
It seriously worked out better than I could have expected.
Image of packed car, camping setup, view from the tent, and 4 examples of other compatible camping setup styles.
Camping was so much more comfortable and easy, and packing and pitching times were slashed.
I continued to work on a better system, and incorporated eco-friendly principles (affectionately calling it my Lean Green Camping Machine).
Then I decided to help others like me avoid the same mistakes I made.
Mistakes that put people off camping altogether, when they and their family would have otherwise really enjoyed it.
And now I want to make it available for the price of a meal, so you can achieve in just 4 weeks what took me 4 years to do.
And, at a fraction of the effort and cost.

Plus, you get my lifetime Money Back Guarantee
If you try out the Camping Setup Sorted Program and you don’t in the end feel camping is for you, l’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
Ask anytime you like.
I’m so confident you’ll love what you can achieve with this program (plus the amazing bonuses) that I’ll take the risk of giving you such a generous guarantee.
If you're curious to know exactly how this process works.....
Here's the secret:
Don't waste hours and hours of your precious time trying to work the whole camping thing out yourself
Don't do what I did. It took 4 years to get a camping setup I was finally happy with. And, that's way too long!
Don't get stuck down the research rabbit hole when you have more important things to do.
Don't post questions on social media and expect uniform answers - you either get hundreds of often contradicting ones, or crickets!
Don't get tempted by the latest gimmick or bargain buy.
Don't go for the cheap tents and sleeping gear in case you don't like camping (because they can be the very things that put you off camping).
In the end, it was our son's simple and reasonable request to bring a friend that triggered a complete overhall that has led me here.
When I was finally able to find a solution that worked.
The friend was invited.
The car was packed and loaded safely
Camping was so much more enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing
Pitching and packing up times were much faster.
And it worked better than I could have expected.
That's why I created Camping Setup Sorted
I realized that, after discovering our new camping setup, I should share it with others.
Would-be beginners, urban families like us, and indeed any families who want to get into nature but aren't really even sure if they will actually like it.
And those who don't have loads of space for trailers, RVs and bulky camping gear.
Or anyone for that matter who wants to simplify their camping and lighten their load while still camping comfortably.
And, in as little as 4 weeks, not 4 years like me.
But with enough variety and camping setup options to ensure everyone had a result that was personalized to them (because one size doesn't fit all).
Total Value: $ A LOT
Your Price For Everything: JUST $25
So that you can take your kids camping now!
Without worrying if you are going to waste a whole lot of time and money on something you won't actually like.
And, without the massive learning curve and the time commitment involved in getting started.
Because their childhood can be gone in the blink of an eye.
And because, when you and the kids are active and outdoors...
...you are helping them to build resilience, self-esteem and confidence
...you are building stronger bonds with them
... you are improving the mental and physical health of everyone
...and it's just plain fun all round!
And the best part?
It can take as little as 1 hour to be packed and on the road to camping.
So you can go camping more often, even if you've worked all day, or all week.
If you're ready for a systematic way to gear up and go camping...
Then you're in the right place.
So, if you are a busy parent, beginner camper, urban family, or any family for that matter looking to get a camping kickstart, then you're in the right place.
Camping Setup Sorted Will Show You Exactly How To Do It
By giving you my step by step Trailer-free Framework and by showing you how it can actually work for you, you can get your camping kickstart:
You can invest in your camping setup with confidence.
You can invest in your car with confidence.
You can invest your time and energy with confidence.
Instead of sitting on the sidelines and letting those precious family moments pass you by...
Don't wait any longer, because their childhood is gone in the blink of an eye.
Yes, It's Really That Easy
You don’t have to worry about whether you are giving camping a good crack before you decided if it is really for you or not.
You won't need to sit around thinking about what to do with the kids over the school holiday, wondering how to get them off the screens and worrying about whether they are active and outdoors enough.
Just follow our Trailer-Free Framework to get your Camping Setup Sorted so you can take them camping any time you like.
You could be camping in less than 4 weeks, if the stock is available. You may take around a month if you can only spare 15-20 minutes a day, or get in early and wait patiently for the sales.
But once you do kickstart your camping, you’ll be able to take the kids camping any time you like, at the drop of a hat.
For all the time and money you will save, you won’t even have to spend $1000 to learn this
(Because “knowledge” shouldn’t cost a mortgage payment.)
I priced this program as low as possible to give you my Trailer-free Framework and more so you have everything you need to gear up for camping.
My mission was to make a product that I would have wanted when I just got started. Now, I want to get it in your hands for less than the cost of lunch.
Why Only $25
Keeping all of these value bombs inside an expensive course doesn't seem right for something as beneficial as camping for families and kids.
I worked in the not-for-profit sector for over 20 years, so I guess it's rubbed off.
That's why I am making all of the content in this program available for such a low price of $25.
If you have the time it's all there.
But, if you need more help from me to implement the program and save you even more time, then sign up and join the express program.

How The Camping Setup Sorted Program Came About
Hi there, Jo Simon here!
I have developed a unique resource to help families and beginner campers to camp comfortably and travel safely without the need for any kind of trailer or RV.
If you have reached this far, you will know my less than enjoyable first family camping experience with our then 5-month old son.
We wanted him to experience nature and the great outdoors and to grow up with fond memories of his childhood.
And camping for us was a fun, accessible and inexpensive way of helping to achieve that, even if just for those few weeks of the year.
But even with experienced friends to tag along with, our very first family camping trip over 12 years ago wasn't easy.
After that experience, it essentially took us nearly 4 years of refining our camping setup to get it to the point where we were happy with it.
And not just 4 years, but over $1,500 in regret buys before we settled on everything we needed.
That's a huge waste of time and money that could have been avoided.
Getting your camping kickstart is like that for many parents.
Others try it once, and give up because of reasons to do with things well within your control - like having poor sleeping arrangements, or not handling the weather conditions properly.
While many others never actually pluck up the courage to get started at all!
Or perhaps they will do it "next year".
With the practicalities of life for families in the big smoke, and those challenges are perpetuated.
What with limited off-street parking options, limited storage space and with so many transport options, car ownership isn't even a given. Not to mention other urban logistical issues.
But leave it too long and your chance may well pass you buy, because they grow up in the blink of an eye.
That's why I developed the Camping Kickstarter Kit and then finally the Camping Setup Sorted program.
To break down the barriers to camping for beginners and families, especially urban families with limited space for parking trailers, so they have the same opportunity to go camping as any other family.
With a background in finance, business management and corporate governance in the not-for-profit sector, I found myself driven to do something about it.
I've since started a website (settocamp.com) and developed further resources to help you save money, time, space and your sanity.
All resources developed with camping trailer free in mind, including eco-friendly camping, tent camping, camping for beginners and families and a whole lot more.
(Just search for "best camping setup" and you will most likely find me - just look for the little red puppy😊).
Not only to give budding family campers the massive head start that we didn't have, but also to help more families to camp when they thought it perhaps wasn't even possible.
Got Any Questions?
Why do you charge for your information when there is so much out there online for free?
We have the information you need all centralized in one place. You don't have to search through endless forum threads and online articles full of ads and commission based recommendations trying to find the information that is relevant to you.
I don't have a lot of money to spend on camping gear. Can you help me?
Yes absolutely! This is the place to be if you want to camp comfortably and safely - trailer free, and you are on a tight budget. We focus on keeping costs down and getting the most out of your gear. That said, we do recommend you don't skimp on what you sleep in and what you sleep on (ie your tent and basically avoid cheap airbeds and thin sleeping mats). Good quality gear can last you for years and save you in the long run.
I live in an apartment. How will that work.
No problem. The program was developed specifically with you in mind!
If you live in an apartment or smaller property, or have limited space at home to store your camping gear, you will be interested in our home storage solution.
If the gear is not stored close to the car loading bay, as is often the case in apartments, we have the 1 Hour Pack program and other tips to help transfer the gear more easily.
I'm not sure if I will enjoy camping. What should I do?
Our camping setup for beginners would be ideal for you. It is entry level, but still allows you to take advantage of most of the tips and advice available here on this site. The better you are equipped and prepared for camping at the beginning, the more likely you will enjoy it and want to continue with it. If not, you will find a later use for most of the items in the camping setup.
What if your particular camping setup doesn't suit me?
This website is really here to help beginner campers and families or groups of up to five to camp comfortably and safely, trailer free. It's not about encouraging you to do exactly as we do, although if you want to, that's perfectly fine with us. As they say, imitation is the best form of flattery!
We know that one size doesn't fit all, and your particular family size, circumstances, preferences and personalities will influence and help shape your final camping setup.
Within the context of our trailer-free and tent style of camping, we will provide you with as much variety and choice as we can to help you put together a camping setup that suits your circumstances. The more you understand the principles of our setup, the more you will be able to independently make your own additions as you go.
I don't live in Australia. Can you help me?
Yes definitely. While there are references to the Australian dollar, and most products at present are linked to Australian retailers, we also provide detailed descriptions to help you to source products locally as well. We also where possible reference imperial as well as metric measurements.
I am an experienced camper. Is this program right for me?
Beginner campers and families new to camping would gain the most out of the Camping Setup Sorted program. That said, we still believe we have useful information for any camper, especially if you are looking to streamline your camping and lighten your load. We also have a lot of time and money saving tips that would help any camper.
I have an RV. Is this program right for me?
Beginner campers and families new to camping would gain the most. There is still a lot of useful information for any camper, but the core offering won't be particularly relevant to you.
Do you do one-on-one consultations?
Yes, you can book a one-on-one consultation on the checkout page. Sign up and I'll send you further information.
What are the upsells
I have one order bump for just $1 to add the 1 Hour Pack For A Quick Camping Getaway. And why just $1? There was some overlap with this and Camping Setup Sorted. Rather than complicated things for those of you who bought the 1 Hour Pack, I just decided to be generous and all but give it to you as well. For a short time only. I've taken the liberty to automatically add it to your order.
The other order bump is the offer of a scheduled one-on-one call with me to get you started as part of the Express program. You complete the Pitch Perfect Plan questionnaire and send it in to me. I'll recommend camping setup styles I think will suit you, and start customising your checklists for you. This is $95 and is only available as part of this offer.
Is this everything I need?
This program plus the bonuses will give you everything you need gear up and go camping trailer free. And, if you want to get some additional help to further fast track the process, you can sign up to the Express program.
