One standout item is the heatable portable shower, available in four sizes. Customers rave about its performance, with one reviewer stating, “I absolutely love this! I have the 3 gallon version. It is perfect for one person. I use it at Assateague National Seashore. It gets very hot sitting out in the sun all day. I actually let my son go first. He uses half the water. I then top it off and still have a nice warm shower. The only negative thing I can find is the velcro because it doesn’t hold the hose very securely, but It is not that big of an issue. I would highly recommend you get one. I’m contemplating buying a second one.”

Another must-have is the instant tent, available in four sizes. One customer shares their experience, saying, “This tent is a winner. Took it on a family camping trip this weekend and it took me about two minutes to set up by myself. We were all amazed. I purchased the rain fly as well and although it didn’t rain, it looks nice. It fits a queen size air mattress and cot and I also put down a 9×6 rug. I like the windows on all sides for great airflow. There is one ring at the top of the tent which I used to hang a lantern. Great job Coleman, I’m instant tent for life.”

For protection against bugs, consider the ultra large net bug net. Customers praise its effectiveness, with one reviewer stating, “I’ve used this mosquito net on three different camping trips so far and it’s holding up well for outdoor use. I did hang it under a tarp that I already had set, so making it rainproof was no problem for me. As for the screen itself, I find it bug-proof with even the noseeums, but the front and back doors lap so one or two may find their way in during the evening. There’s room for three close and comfy, four in a pinch. I have to give it five stars because the cozy size suits my camping style.”

To secure your tent to a vehicle, consider a 4-pack of suction cups. Customers love their versatility, with one reviewer saying, “I’ve used these on my windshield and truck body as tie down spots for tarps and tent awnings. The holding power on these is wonderful, and they are easy to use. So many different applications for these. Looks like Christmas for my camping buds!”

For all your cooking needs, a 5-piece mini kitchen tool set is essential. One customer shares their satisfaction, stating, “I got this for the camper and it is great. They all are attached and fit together so they take up less room than buying them separately in varied sizes.”

For a comprehensive cooking setup, consider a 27-piece camping kitchen set. Customers rave about its quality, with one reviewer stating, “I solely relied on this set for all my cooking utensil needs in a camper, and it has ALL the essentials. I was pleasantly surprised at the knife, scissors, and can opener quality. Dare I say those items perform better than my at home set?! The only minor thing I would/will add is a slotted serving spoon and a small oven-type mitt. I highly recommend this set! It really is a great deal for the quality. Even the cutting board is nice (washes well and is a good size).”

To keep mosquitoes at bay, consider a spray-alternative mosquito repeller. Customers highly recommend it, with one reviewer saying, “This unit has made it possible for me to spend time outdoors again. Just don’t forget to turn it off when you go inside. I forgot and used up all my cartridge. One other thing, go ahead and buy a refill kit when you order this so you won’t have to wait for it to come in. You’re going to love it.”

For clean drinking water, a personal water filtration system is a great investment. It is available in three pack sizes and three colors. Customers praise its functionality, with one reviewer stating, “I immediately took it out for a day hike with the dog to give it a test in the field, near the Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula. Filling it was easy with the current, then I screwed the filter onto the bag, tipped it upside down, and water came out with a very effortless squeeze. When I got home I did the back flush with the syringe twice, and the thing flushed perfectly. This thing was a piece of cake to use, and for $20, you cannot beat it. I would recommend this filter to anyone!”

For eco-friendly dining on the go, consider a plastic-free cutlery set. Each set includes a fork, spoon, serrated knife, and pair of chopsticks. Customers love their convenience, with one reviewer saying, “I already have two sets of these travel utensils and now I’m buying more. I love them! The spoons are my favorite and I love that this set comes with chopsticks too. They come with us camping, to picnics, in the car, everywhere basically.”

To ensure safe drinking water, a personal water-filtering straw is a must-have. Please read all package instructions to ensure it’s safe for you, especially if you’re immunocompromised. Customers highly recommend the LifeStraw, with one reviewer stating, “The LifeStraw is indispensable for any avid camper. My buddy purchased these on a whim and they have proven themselves numerous times. Very lightweight and conveniently hangs around the neck. Time or energy is not wasted boiling water or using toxic water treatment chemicals; also, no off tastes from using the LifeStraw. The only downside I foresee is for long hikes, as frequent purging of the LifeStraw is required. I primarily canoe camp, and thus water is readily available, so this is not a problem for me. I do carry a water bottle for portages or for drinking in the tent. If you canoe camp or hike where there is abundant water, buy this device!”

For reliable power on the go, consider a portable solar panel battery charger. Customers praise its convenience, with one reviewer saying, “This solar battery power bank has been a great convenient power source for all of our camping and outdoor adventures. The solar charger came fully charged and was ready to use right out of the box. The snap closure on the solar screens keeps the unit nice and compact when not charging in the sun. It’s the same size as my smartphone and twice as thick. I love the built-in flashlight feature on the backside. The easy-to-read lights on the side of the unit let me know exactly how full my battery stores are. So far, I haven’t had any issues with this unit, and it has charged my cell phone and my son’s tablet from about 15% battery life to full on one solar charge and still has a few indicator lights left of power to go before being completely drained. I like that there are 2 USB ports and a micro USB port on the solar battery to enable simultaneous charging of multiple devices.”

For a comfortable night’s sleep, consider a waterproof, self-inflating, bed-height air mattress. Available in various sizes, customers rave about its quality, with one reviewer stating, “This is by far the BEST air mattress I have ever owned. Took it camping for 3 days. The built-in pump is awesome. Takes about two minutes to fully inflate. Didn’t have to add any air within three days at all. Super comfortable. It has a deflate knob. Takes maybe 2-3 minutes. Vacuum sealed in no time. Comes with a nice handled carrying bag. It may be more expensive than other mattresses, but trust me, for a great night’s sleep and sturdiness, it’s well worth the money in the long run. Highly recommend.”

To complete your camping dining experience, consider a 24-piece set of enameled dishes. Customers love the quality of these dishes, with one reviewer stating, “Love this camping set! Cups, bowls, and plates are good quality, beautiful blue speckled, and a nice size. The silverware is very cheap, but for the price, it was cheaper to buy it this way. We did take it camping, and I loved how easy they were to wash. When you are washing in a bucket, at a campground, it’s great when the food comes off easily. We have a family of six, and I bought two sets. Should buy one more set for camping next year. These are so cute; I want to use them in my kitchen!”
