About Us

Camperite has been trading selling tents and awnings for over 40 years from its location in Marks Tey near Colchester.

The accessory shop is crammed full of all those things you need for a camping or caravan/motorhome holiday to enjoy your trip as well as essential spares.

Outside there is space to erect up to 20 tents and awnings with a mixed range from Kampa, Vango, Dometic, Outdoor Revoloution & Coleman so that customers can have a good look round and see the models performing in realistic outdoor conditions.

The business owner, David Broughton, has been in the camping trade for over 35 years and worked some of that time as a sales representative for one the major tent suppliers and then left to go and join a retail shop as manager and also for two years ran the biggest camping shows in the country for a London based retailer.

David saw the golden opportunity of owning Camperite Leisure as one not to be missed. David and his team hopes that they are able to provide a personal level of service that sometimes now seems to be missing from some of the bigger camping shops and online retailers with specialist knowledge to make any customers family camping and caravan holiday complete.  Over 100 years of experience between the 3 staff
