SAFETY FIRST:

One of the most basic needs when you are camping or glamping is water. When you hook up to the water spicket at the campgrounds you never know what the water quality is. Not only can hard water taste bad, it is also damage your water system in your RV.

Water filter

CLEAR2O®, one of the leading producers of water filtration products for RVs, just introduced DirtGUARD, the first-ever inline sediment prefilter for RVs. As you probably know, sediment is an  RV “filter killer,” severely shortening an inline filter’s life. DirtGUARD creates a cost-effective, dual filtration system, taking out the sediment and other large particulates, and allowing the inline filter to concentrate on the smaller contaminants it was meant for. No other product in the RV industry does this

The CLEAR2O® RV and Marine Inline Filter dramatically reduces contaminants, bad taste, sulfur odor (a big problem for RVers at campgrounds), and chlorine in campground water so that users can enjoy clean, delicious water in the comfort of their RV or boat. The CLEAR2O® RV Filter works at the one-micron filtration level for superior water filtration. What’s more, it’s the only one that uses sold carbon block, which reduces contaminants far more efficiently than traditional granulated carbon. This technology also reduces herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial wastes, and perfluorooctanoic acids (PFOA’s) from water. 

Midland Crank Radio - camping list

A must for emergency preparedness, the Midland ER310 emergency weather alert crank radio keeps you informed in case of severe weather or civil emergency with multiple sustainable power options. Recharge your USB compatible devices, use the Cree LED flashlight for power outages or navigating low-light areas, be found in an emergency with the high frequency dog whistle. This is a must have for you camping list.

For the Camp Kitchen

In our kitchen box we have a variety of items that we store to take with us on our pop up camping travels. Sometimes I feel like it’s our biggest box. Here is a list of some of our favorite items.

Dr Bronners

If you have followed us for very long you know that using natural and organic products is something we have started incorporating into our life. Dr. Bronner’s products are made with both organic and fair trade ingredients. We use their Citrus Dish Soap, Hand Soap and Hand Sanitizer. We also love their Peppermint Toothpaste and Orange & Lavender hand cream.

cork trivet from Current

This cork trivet from Current features their original happy design in deep black; at 7″ across, heat resistant, and non-slip, it’s big enough tough enough to protect countertops and furniture finishes, too. This was so adorable and I love that it is lightweight for the camper. They really do have a lot of cute camping stuff on their site and I love that you can personalize it.

Happy Camper cutting board from Lillian Vernon

Choose a thoughtful gift exclusively etched with the recipient’s initial and surname. Naturally lustrous and eco-friendly red alder wood cutting board is crafted of sustainable bacteria-resistant hardwood. Will not nick or dull cutlery, can be used on both sides. We just love our Happy Camper cutting board from Lillian Vernon.

Take cleaning and processing to another level with our convenient Bass Pro Shops® Deluxe Fish Table. This sturdy, high-efficiency outdoor essential offers innovative extras that make handling your fishing and hunting chores quicker and easier than ever. Tough enough for filleting both fresh- and saltwater fish (and processing a wide range of small game), it’s equipped with a handy stainless steel directional spray faucet for perfect rinsing, a cone-shaped sink that drains exceptionally well, and a full-sized lower shelf made of strong steel mesh.

This Bass Pro Shop Deluxe Fish Table sports an extra-large 49-1/2″L x 25-1/2″W HDPE surface with a 4-1/2″D apron, a sloped drainage gutter, molded inserts for bowls, fillet board, and tools (included), and an integrated ruler. Stands a full 37″ off the ground for easy-on-the-back comfort. Just set on level ground, hook up your garden hose, add a trash bag and bucket (not included), and make quick work of your limit. When you’re done, the faucet assembly simply nests down as the entire table folds flat, for easy storage. Great for backyard, camping, or RV site. Comes complete with 2 prep bowls, cutting board, 6″ fillet knife and sheath, and a metal odor bar for your hands.

We use this as our cooking/prep table. Just hook up your water hose to the faucet and put a 5 gallon bucket for your drain water. This is the perfect table for camping as it doesn’t take up a lot space when it’s folded up.

Big Dawg Mattress with pillows - camping list

You’re probably thinking. Don’t you have a pop up camper? How in the world did you make this size of a mattress fit? Well… where there is a will there is a way. Add this Sleep Dawg mattress to your camping list. You won’t be sorry.

We put this awesome mattress in our pop up camper. When we closed up the camper for the 1st time it didn’t close all the way. The door (which attaches to the ceiling when closed) wouldn’t let the camper close all the way. But it was an easy fix. All we had to do is adjust the latches a little and it will close right up! Ours closed with minimal pressure applied. This mattress made a HUGE difference in the comfort of being in a pop up camper. We could not believe how comfortable it was. Plus the quality is outstanding. We know this is going to be HUGE for the pop up community because this is one of the biggest hurdles everyone talks about in the camper groups on Facebook! Let us know if you give it a try!

  1. This is a fantastic list. I know it’s meant for camping but I am thinking that some of these items would even be great in our back yard, and I would definitely use those pretty marble wireless chargers in my house!
