CARACAMP, the Plymouth camping accessory business, was born in 1976, when the late Bryan and Audrey Jervis opened their shop in Peverell, after Bryan had retired from a long career in the Royal Navy.
The need for a specialist camping and caravanning accessory shop soon became apparent and Caracamp quickly outgrew these premises. Stebbings Shoe Shop in Fake Dior Handbags Union Street, which was on the market at the time, was purchased in 1979. After refurbishment it opened in November of the same year.
The business continued to grow, and in 1981, Bryan and Audrey realised that they needed an assistant manager. This is when Sue, the current owner, was employed. During the intervening years Union Street has altered beyond recognition, with the shops being replaced with nightclubs and takeaways but Caracamp, and one or two others, have stood the test of time.
Sue, now working with husband Terry, has seen many changes over the years within the industry but her detailed knowledge has often helped both locals and tourists alike out of a tight spot.
In fact, Chloe Fake with over 50 years' experience, the staff at Caracamp can often help solve the majority of problems.
The shop opened in 1976, stocking about 100 different products. Today, well over 2,000 items are kept on the shelves, with thousands of additional items available as special orders.
Whether you need Aquakem or Elsan Blue for your portable toilet, a Whale pump or tap for your drinking water, a Coleman tent, parts for your van conversion, Coleman lamps to help when fishing or a spare thingy for your wotsit. then Caracamp can help you out Sue, Terry and the staff would like to thank all their customers both past, present and those who have yet to find us, for their support.
Come and join them at their 30th anniversary celebration during Friday, November 27 and Saturday 28.
