Hanging organisers are a cheap way to keep camp tidy, and most of them are made of thin, flimsy fabric. The Kings Plus Hanging Camp Caddy isn’t. It’s part of the Kings Plus line from Adventure Kings, which uses more premium materials, and we like these much better than the flimsy ones. I paid $40 for it and took it on a recent trip up north, to The Pines Campground in the Hunter Valley.
What’s in the box
A fold-out organiser in grey canvas with blue pockets. Opened up and hanging, it’s 920 mm tall and 410 mm wide. From the top down: two zippered mesh pockets, a removable grey zip bag, and a large pocket with a fold-over flap. There’s one more pocket on the back, and two handles at the top.
A note on buying: Amazon also sells it as a 2-pack, and that’s much better value: two Kings Plus Hanging Camp Caddies cost not much more than one.

Build quality
This is where it’s different from the cheap hanging bags. The body is 370 gsm grey canvas, and the pockets are lined with PVC, so spills and wet gear don’t soak through. The edges are bound, the zips are SBS, and the handles are heavy duty with rubber grips. It’s a good quality bag, and it feels like it.
The pockets
The two pockets at the top have mesh fronts and zips, so you can see what’s inside and nothing falls out. They’re about 230 × 370 mm each: big enough for plates and a small chopping board.
In the middle is a grey canvas zip bag that comes off. It’s handy for things you want to take with you, like a toiletry kit to the amenities block, or a water bottle.
At the bottom is the biggest pocket, about 300 × 370 mm, with a mesh front and a fold-over flap instead of a zip. That makes it quick to get into for the things you use most. Around the back is a sleeve pocket, which you can still reach when the caddy is folded up.
Hanging it up
At The Pines, we hung it from the awning bracket on our roof rack, with the two handles over the bracket, so the caddy hung down the side of the Prado. There are also two hook and loop straps on the back for wrapping around an awning bar, a gazebo frame, a trailer or a branch.
When you pack up, it folds into a flat bag about 32 × 44 cm and 4.5 cm thick, with the handles on top. It slides into a drawer or behind a seat.
Conclusion: Kings Plus Hanging Camp CaddyConclusion
The Kings Plus Hanging Camp Caddy is a hanging organiser in 370 gsm canvas with PVC-lined pockets: two zippered mesh pockets, a removable zip bag, a large lower pocket and one on the back. It hangs from an awning or roof rack by its handles or straps and folds up flat. It costs more than a basic hanging bag, but it’s a good quality bag and worth paying a little extra for, and we like it much better than the flimsy ones. I paid $40; if you can use two, the 2-pack is much better value.

- Caravanners
Yes. I paid $40, which is more than a basic hanging bag, but this is a good quality bag and worth paying a little extra for. If you can use two, say one for the kitchen and one for toiletries, the 2-pack is much better value than buying one.
