About us
A camping shop run by people who camp: tents on the floor, a rental counter and a repair bench at the back (sample).
Since 2011 (sample)
Welcome to LT Camping
Ridgeway Outfitters (sample) started as a rental counter in a garage on the road out of town. People kept asking to buy the tents they had borrowed, so we opened a shop next door.
Today the shop holds about four hundred items, and every one of them has been slept in, cooked on or sat in by someone on the team.
Three counters under one roof
The shop, the rental counter and the workshop share a building on Ridgeway Road (sample).
