Camping Season Is Here. Are You Ready?

Amazon

It’s warm enough for those of us who aren’t die-hard campers to venture out into the woods. And all that fresh air guarantees you’ll be hungry and ready for a good night’s sleep. Unless you’re one of those backpackers who just eat dehydrated meals, food-prep is a big part of a camping trip. It’s worth getting a few pieces of gear to elevate your campsite cooking and sleeping quarters.

For the Camp Cook

Why We Chose It If you camp in a tent or pop-up, there’s never enough space at the campsite to set up a workable kitchen. This folding cook station has four fold-out side tables, hooks for hanging utensils, and a heat-resistant counter top for your camp stove. It weighs a little under 19 pounds and has handles for portability.

For the Camp Baker

Why We Chose It Sure, burgers taste great on a camping trip, but if you camp more than a few days you want an oven. The Coleman oven is big enough to bake a tasty breakfast of muffins or cornbread. Rack is adjustable to three heights, and the oven has a thermometer so you can bake with confidence.

For Sleep Comfort
