Fairylights are a camping essential and if you disagree you’re probably reading the wrong blog. Seriously though, ambient light that relaxes and makes a space feel cosy is a must, and that aesthetic preference doesn’t vanish simply because we’re camping. You’ll no doubt have seen these kind of fairylights all over TikTok over the past year or so, but are they worth the hype? Read on for our full review.
These little lights have been all over TikTok for the past year or so, for good reason – and yes, the hype is justified.
At 10 metres long with 120 LED lights, there’s plenty of cable to work with, even for my somewhat excessive tent setup. They’re USB rechargeable, which means no faffing with batteries mid-trip (though I’d definitely recommend taking a portable power station with you on any camping trip), and the clever retractable design means the lights wind back neatly into the body of the unit.
This genius fact alone means theres none of the usual pre Christmas-style chaos of tangled fairylight cables to deal with when you’re setting up or packing down.
When the fairylights themsevels are not in use and neatly stowed inside, the unit itself doubles as a lantern complete with a hanging hook, so it’s genuinely pulling double duty. In fact, scratch that, they’re pulling triple duty as there’s also a USB-out port, meaning it can be used as an emergency power bank – a handy bonus feature you wouldn’t necessarily expect at this price point.

About that price, coming in at between £7.99 and £12.99 depending on where you pick them up (Amazon and TikTok Shop both stock them), these are an absolute no-brainer. Equally at home strung up in the garden on a summer evening as they are inside a tent, they’re one of those simple little purchases that quietly makes a big difference to your setup.
Find these, and others like it, on Amazon from about £7.99-£12.99 or on TikTok shop for around the same price.
