Buying gifts for a camper can be overwhelming then as there’s so much choice. But all seasoned outdoor enthusiasts, from fair-weather car campers to hardcore hikers, will love getting a new item that they will be excited to try out on their next trip.
If you love camping, it always feels like you’re just one new accessory away from having an even better time on your next trip. Get given the right gift and you can suddenly charge your phone by lantern light, toast marshmallows safely, or relax in a hammock. Here are the camping gifts we would recommend.
Jolly Green Products Rotating Marshmallow Roasting Sticks
The ultimate s’mores making kit
Camping without making s’mores is certainly possible but we wouldn’t want to try it. These heavy-duty, telescopic roasting forks make them easier and safer to make. Not only does it mean no hunting for twigs but your kids can sit a good distance from the campfire. Wooden handles and a heat-resistant bag make them easy to use and store afterward.
Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Hammocks
Sleep under the stars in this relaxing hammock
You go camping to relax and there’s no better place to do that than reclining in this hammock. Weighing only 24oz, it folds down small to fit in your backpack. Easy to hang up with 9ft long tree straps and carabiners, it has five separate loops to adjust to the perfect height. Made from strong but soft parachute nylon with triple stitching, it will last a lifetime.
Elite Sportz Ring Toss Games
Easy to set up and ultra-competitive outdoor game
Keep everyone entertained on your next camping trip with this hook and ring toss game that’s fun for all the family. It’s easy to set up in a few minutes and made of real wood and metal with rubber rings for durability and no sharp objects. Once you’ve finished playing, it packs back into a convenient carrying bag.
