Stanley Adventure Nesting Two Cup Cookset
Because Some Campers Are Bougie
I think it’s safe to say that Stanley is having a moment. You can’t open up Insta without seeing a woman carrying her water around in a tumbler that’s half her height. Well, good news! Stanley makes some of the best camping equipment, and you can’t go wrong with this nesting cook set.
It’s lightweight and very portable, which makes it ideal for the great outdoors. The stainless steel cup can be set directly in the fire to cook food, make coffee, or just boil water. And the locking handle gives you extra stability when you’re negotiating those flames.
MOICO Long Range Walkie Talkies
Because the Cell Service is Nonexistant
You know what my least favorite part of camping is? Having to pee in the middle of the night and making my way to the nearest camp restroom. You know what’s a close second? When there’s no cell service, which suddenly makes that trek feel like I’m in a campy (heyoooo) 80s horror flick.
Enter these convenient and adorable little gadgets. Keep track of other members of your party, message someone to come meet you at a breathtaking overlook, or just feel more secure when you wander away from camp. Some reviews even talk about using them in crowded supermarkets or on cruise ships! They have a hands-free mode and a communication range of up to three miles. Total no-brainer.
Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Hammock
Because You Want That Glamping Experience
Some people love staying busy on a campsite. Constantly searching for kindling, tending a fire, and keeping the hot meals coming gives them a sense of purpose. (I live with one of these magical unicorns.) The rest of us? We just wanna relax and soak in the peace and quiet. And this hammock is here for the rest of us.
Grab a book, throw on some music, and bask in the surprising comfort of a Wise Owl camp hammock. It’s light, portable, easy to set up, and I swear you’ll want to sleep in it. There’s a single (holds up to 400 lbs.) and a double (holds two people up to 500 lbs.) option.
“Everything’s great start to finish, great price, packs small, comfortable (it was a 5 man free for all fighting over whose turn it was). The stability was overall very good… I can attest it stood up to repeated use by a 260 lbs football player for 5 days of use and a couple hours of rain. Doesn’t have the longest straps in the world but is still fairly versatile , you may need to be a bit creative with how you sling it but the straps have good traction on a tree. No reasonable complaints considering the price.”
VILLEY Portable Camping Side Table
Because There Are Never Enough Surfaces
If you’re well equipped, you can make culinary magic on a campsite. But one thing you can never seem to have enough of is surfaces. The key is to find products that are fully functional yet also lightweight and portable enough to not take up too much room amongst your gear.
The Villey portable camping side table does just that. When set up it can hold up to 66 lbs and even offers a storage area under the table top. When you’re ready to go, the tabletop folds up accordion style and the whole thing packs down to a small storage bag weighing 4.18 lbs.
Ayaport Campsite Storage Strap
Because Some Campers Are Virgos
Along the same lines as our previous rec, this one helps to clear off surfaces in your campsite by hanging your essentials from a nylon strap. This could sound a bit fussy for a family camping trip, but then again some of us thrive in chaos and some definitely do not.
Whether used for car camping, glamping, or even backpacking, this ultra-convenient and easy-to-set-up system comes with strong metal buckles, a 20-foot strap, 20 loops and multiple camping hooks. This allows you to get all of your essentials off the ground in an organized manner.
LifeStraw Peak Series Personal Water Filter
Because Your Plans Don’t Include Parasites
Suitable for those serious backpackers and hikers out there — but small and convenient enough for anyone’s stocking — The LifeStraw does exactly what it sounds like it would do. If you’re running low on drinking water, you can instantly purify water from natural sources in your environment.
According to LifeStraw this product protects against 99.999999% of bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella), 99.999% of parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), 99.999% of microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness. It can be used on its own or attached to a water bottle for your convenience. And its long-lasting membrane microfilter will last up to 1,000 gallons (or 4,000 L) of water. That’s enough drinking water for an individual for over 5 years!
FUN LITTLE TOYS Kids Camping Gear Set
Because You’re Bringing ‘Em up Right
Some kids emerge from the womb ready to explore the great outdoors. And some of us refused to step on wet grass until we were three years old. Instill a love of outdoor adventuring from a young age with this absolutely adorable camping play set from Fun Little Toys.
The set includes a battery-powered “gas” stove and oil lamp, binoculars, utility knife, multifunctional whistle/flashlight, cooking pan, plates, shovel, easy to set up pop-up tent, play food and more. It has a total of 17 items, perfect for the burgeoning campers in your life.
“My twin grandsons loved this big tent and all the fun light up camping accessories it came with! The tent is nice and large enough for both of them! Great purchase, highly recommend.”
Anourney Pocket Binoculars
Because You Never Know What You’ll See
One of the best things about camping or hiking is catching a glimpse of wildlife that you don’t usually see on your home turf. Is that a hawk or an eagle flying overhead? Was that an otter in that stream? Did I just hear a heard of wildebeasts, or was that the kids at the next campsite?
Obviously, binoculars are always a safe bet when you’re packing for an outdoor adventure. The thing is, they can be heavy and a bit fragile. But these handy-dandy little guys are durable, slip-proof, lightweight, easy to focus, and they fold up small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Great for adults, but you’ll feel confident handing them over to your littles as well.
Haplululy Camping Essentials Cooking Gear
Because When We Camp… We Feast
This set has everything (cue Stefon voice). The pack is super sturdy nylon, and honestly, it would make an awesome bag if it came by itself. But then you open it. I still don’t understand how they pack everything in there so perfectly. If the food is your favorite part of camping, behold — your holy grail. There’s even a cutting board!!
There are SIXTEEN camping and cooking tools packed in this set. You get a storage bag, a chopping board, a barbecue fork, a bottle opener, non-slip gloves, a cleaning towel, a spatula, a bread clip, a chef knife, tablewear utensils, and more. The items are made of food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free plastic.
FREE SOLDIER Multifunctional Camping Tarp
Because Some Campers Just Wanna Rough It
Dear reader, is there someone on your list who would describe car camping as “cute?” You know the type — a lifelong gir or boy scout who fantasies about hiking the Appalachian Trail on their own, channeling some serious John Muir-style self-sufficiency through solitude?
Well, for that special Ron Swanson in your life, I present to you… a tarp. But not just any tarp. This multi-functional, water-proof camping tarp comes with 4 nylon guy lines with tensioners and 1 ultra-convenient stuff sack. Use it as a rain fly for your tent or hammock, a camping mat, or — if you’re bare-bonesing it — a shelter in itself.
