When spring arrives, we always want to start making use of the good weather up and down the country, especially if winter has been particularly cold. One of the best and easiest ways to enjoy the outdoors is a picnic in a park or out in the bush.
Outdoor gazebos are a great way for you and your family to enjoy an afternoon outdoors, but still have a shady space for sun protection or eating and relaxing or can be a great addition to a campsite.
Whether it’s a short trip or a long camp, gazebos fill a little niche we sometimes never knew we needed and here are some of the best ones you can buy.

Wanderer Ultimate Heavy Duty Gazebo 3x3m
Best For A Sunny Backyard
The Wanderer Heavy Duty Gazebo is a slightly larger sized tent frame than some of the other brands and has been designed and produced to provide full sunshade for you. It is easy to set up and has a square design with heavy-duty canvas.
The majority of customers love their Wanderer gazebo, however, there is a significant proportion who have found their experiences are not what they expected. It seems the Wanderer does not like rain and if you keep it set up as a rain shelter – it can fall over.
Water tends to pool on top and then the frames bend. Some users have had their whole gazebo collapse after a heavy storm. As such we recommend the Wanderer for backyard or sunny day use over longer-term camping.
OZtrail Deluxe 2.4 Gazebo V4
Our Pick
OZtrail makes a wide range of quality camping equipment and their deluxe gazebo is no exception. It is a heavy-duty gazebo that not only provides full sun cover, but has also been designed to take some wind and not fall over and, more importantly – stand up solidly in the rain.
It provides slightly less total coverage than the Wanderer, however, you can adjust the height and the OZtrail Deluxe comes with additional walls, at extra cost, that are easily attached so you can also turn it into an awning or tent too.
Almost every user loves this gazebo with the only negatives being it’s a little difficult to set up alone due to the weight. In our opinion, it’s the best gazebo for camping.
