One of the many advantages of slightly off-season campsites are the plastic tables and chairs that might just happen to be hanging around unused near empty chalets. My fearless camping buddy frequently disappears when we arrive at a site only to reappear carrying a bounty of such comforts. If no such furniture is forthcoming, add them to list of those little or not so little luxuries you’d love to pack for the cycle-tour but just can’t squeeze in. All links go to Millets site.

Admittedly, most of the above from the mallet - are non-starters for cycle camping. However, when you arrive at a site and see them in action there are slight pangs of envy. Among the miscellany at the Millets site there are heaps of handy nic-nacs that can actually be of use and actually fit in the panniers.
Happy camping.
