Did you know we have stocked Van Go Collections for nearly 10 years!
Which means thousands and thousands of caravanning & camping customers have been choosing these plates and bowls for their caravan set up for a long time.
Travelling around Australia in your caravan, camper trailer, or motorhome is one of life’s greatest adventures. Whether you're chasing sunsets along the coast, exploring remote outback roads, or relaxing by the river, the right gear can make all the difference. When it comes to choosing reliable, eco-friendly and practical tableware for your journey, the Van Go Bamboo Range is hard to beat.
At Adventure Awaits, we proudly stock a wide selection of Van Go bamboo plates and bowls, thoughtfully designed right here in Australia. This collection has become a favourite among Aussie travellers who want to enjoy beautiful, functional gear without compromising on sustainability or durability. In this blog, we’ll explore why the Van Go Bamboo Range is an ideal choice for your next road trip or camping getaway.
1. Australian Designed with Travel in Mind
Every piece in the Van Go Bamboo Range is designed in Australia, with our unique outdoor lifestyle in mind. The vibrant patterns and earthy tones reflect the natural beauty of our country, from coastal blues to warm bush hues. The designs are fun, modern, and suitable for both men and women, making them perfect for couples, families, and solo nomads.
These pieces aren't just about looks, though. They are specifically created for travel, with features that suit the rigours of life on the road. Compact, stackable, and incredibly lightweight, they’re easy to store in limited caravan or camper space, and even easier to take along for picnics or beach days.
2. Lightweight Yet Durable
One of the biggest challenges when setting up a caravan or camping kitchen is finding dinnerware that won’t break or weigh you down. Traditional ceramic or glass plates look nice but are heavy and prone to damage in transit. That’s where bamboo steps in as the perfect solution.
The Van Go bamboo plates and bowls are:
Extremely lightweight – ideal for travel
Durable – tough enough to handle the bumps and jostles of the road
Stackable – for compact storage in caravan cupboards or camp kitchen tubs
They’re ideal for kids, too – no more worrying about broken dishes at the campground!
3. Eco-Friendly & Food Safe
If you’re passionate about reducing your footprint while you travel, you’ll love the sustainability behind the Van Go Bamboo Range. Made from bamboo fibre, these pieces offer a more eco-conscious alternative to plastic or disposable tableware.
BPA-free and phosphate-free
FDA (USA) and LFGB (Germany) certified food safe
Reusable and long-lasting
You can feel good knowing that you’re making a better choice for the environment without sacrificing convenience or performance.
4. No Taste Transfer
Have you ever noticed a weird plastic taste when using lower-quality dinnerware? The Van Go Bamboo Range is designed to avoid that altogether. Because it’s made from high-quality bamboo fibre, it doesn’t hold onto flavours or transfer tastes between meals.
That means your fresh fruit salad won’t taste like last night’s curry – even if you didn’t scrub your plate perfectly clean in the camp sink!
5. Dishwasher Safe for Easy Clean Up
Nobody wants to spend their holidays washing dishes. Thankfully, all items in the Van Go bamboo range are dishwasher safe, making clean-up quick and easy. Just pop them in your van or camp kitchen's compact dishwasher, or give them a fast hand-wash with warm water.
Note: While they're dishwasher safe, they are not suitable for microwave or oven use due to the nature of bamboo materials.
6. A Stylish Addition to Any Caravan or Campsite
Who says your caravan kitchen can’t be stylish? With their modern, nature-inspired designs, the Van Go plates and bowls bring a pop of colour and personality to any setup. Whether you're setting a table for two or feeding the whole family, these pieces look just as good outdoors as they do in a designer kitchen.
They’re also ideal for mix-and-match use. Choose different sizes and styles to suit your meals, or combine sets to create a full dining experience. Great for:
Everyday meals on the road
Entertaining guests around the campfire
Alfresco dining at picnic spots or beach locations
7. A Practical & Thoughtful Gift Idea
Looking for a gift for the camping or van-life lover in your life? The Van Go Bamboo Range makes an excellent gift for travellers, couples, families, or even yourself. Lightweight and useful, they’re perfect for:
New caravan or camper trailer owners
Birthdays, Christmas, or going-away gifts
Eco-conscious friends and family
Pair them with a bamboo travel cup or matching picnic rug for a beautiful and practical present.
8. Available in a Variety of Sizes & Sets
The Van Go bamboo range includes various sizes to suit your on-the-road dining needs. From side plates and dinner plates to deep bowls for soups or salads, there’s something for every mealtime. Because they're so versatile and durable, many of our customers choose to buy multiple sizes for different uses.
And since they’re easy to mix and match, you can create a custom caravan dinner set that’s both functional and fashionable.
9. Designed for Aussie Conditions
When you’re out on the road in Australia, your gear needs to handle everything from coastal humidity to outback dust. The Van Go Bamboo Range is made with these conditions in mind. These dishes won’t crack under pressure or fade in the sun, making them the perfect choice for our rugged environment.
Whether you're camping in the tropical north, navigating the Great Ocean Road, or pulling up at a free camp in the red centre, you can rely on your bamboo tableware to go the distance.
