Camping sets are a great way to make sure you have all the gear you need to have a successful camping trip. Included are the essentials like tents and cooking supplies as well as a few fun things. No matter if you are camping for the first or the 10th time, we have you covered.
Basic Camping Gear
A sleeping bag should be the first item you purchase when going camping. It's important to choose a sleeping bag that is comfortable and warm. A down-filled bag may be the best choice, but we've found lightweight, synthetic bags to be warm and comfortable for many campers.
We recommend going a size up from the number of people in your party to ensure you have enough room for everyone's stuff, and then investing in a good quality sleeping pad. Many of the options are affordable, but some also come with a self inflating air bed to give you more cushioning.
Family Camping Gear
You can get a camping equipment set that includes sleeping bags, pads, and tents for the whole family. There are even tents and pads that are designed to be used together (like the Coleman Double Hammock). Some families also pack their tarps to save space.
Cooking Equipment
If you love cooking, you will want to invest in a good cook set. You can boil water on it, cook over an open fire or prepare simple food that will not spoil when you're outside in the rain. The best ones will come with an oven, a stovetop, or a grill that has a variety of settings. They can also be easily stored in a small package.
You can get cheaper versions that are just as good. The skillet, pot and dishtowel will all be useful while camping, and they won't take much space in your backpack.
Mess Kits
If you are planning to cook for yourself, a mess set with reusable dishes and plates is a great idea. The pieces can be locked when not in usage. These are a great way of saving space, weight and keeping your campsite clean.
Kids Explorer Camping Gear
Consider getting a set of camping gear for kids if you know that your children love to explore. These sets usually contain a Safari vest and Safari hat, as well other savvy items such a binoculars. It will prepare them for an exciting trip.
Cell Phones & Accessories
You'll want to protect your smartphone from the weather when you travel. Otterbox Defender has many options for protecting your phone. These include a screen protector built in and port covers which keep dust away from your device.
It's also a good camping accessory as it lets you stay connected. Whether you're on the trail or in the campground, you can always count on this two-way radio to give you reliable weather and safety updates.
