You are gonna have things that are simply non-negotiable as a car camper… and this is that list that helps you get the essentials for your next trip.
If they're serious car campers? Especially if they're living out of their car? The best gift. The best gift hands down. With a 2600 watt output, this will be the portable battery that will be the game changer in their experience. They can run sooooo ...use a cash back site like Rakuten to save you money on the purchase (because this is gonna cost you a few 💰). Use my referral link and join Rakuten so that when you shop through Rakuten and make the purchase? You'll get $50 back ON TOP of the cash back from this purchase. I'm telling you— shop smarter for your gifts this year. 😘
BLUETTI Elite 200 V2+Charger 1
You're gonna find that this is one of the best gifts that you can give. Without a shadow of a doubt. And I say that in all seriousness because bugs are a no no. You want to be able to sleep in the car with the windows down? Not happening without a sc...
LUNO Car Window Screens
This is just one of those things that has multiple uses too. If they have small kids? They'll probably use this for toddlers if they go on vacations in hotel rooms. If they're not sleeping in their vehicle and sleeping in a tent? They'll use this in ...
Exped MegaMat Duo Sleeping Pad | REI Co-op
If you know someone who loves to go car camping when there's a blizzard outside (because they've always been crazy ❄️👀) then this is the perfect gift for them— a 0° sleeping bag. It'll keep them warm even when they have no business being outside in ...
Cabela's Outfitter XL 0° Sleeping Bag
For Car Camping Kitchen Setups
They're gonna need to eat, and this is perhaps one of the most important aspects of any car camping adventure. These gift ideas are sure to impress and show your loved ones that you've been paying attention when they've been rambling on about that fi...
This is one of those investments where they will love you forever. I'm not kidding. Especially if, once again, they've got something like a Bluetti to power this thing. Like literally? This is the perfect gift for car dwellers or van life peeps. And the raging car camping enthusiast who is on the road for at least half the year. They will love love love love you for this because it's quite the ...the portable battery and stuff.)
37QT APL35 Ultralight Dual Zone Aluminum Freezer | ICECO
I personally own this and IT'S GREAT! 😂 You know when something's overhyped and you're like, “Yeahhhhh ehhhhh… 🤨” and you're really suspicious because you think the influencers are just trying to get their bag? NO. NOT THIS TIME! 😂🙌🏾 It literall...
YETI | Roadie® 24 Hard Cooler
It's stackable, convenient for storage, and makes everything neat and organized— with one of these, they'll be able to store all of the kitchen equipment in a simple and accessible way. They won't have to worry about where that spatula went because t...
Gregory Alpaca Gear Box 45 | REI Co-op
This thing is great because it has a wind guard so when they're sitting at their campsite or even if they're cooking in their car? The splatter isn't getting on everything and the wind isn't going to blow their flame out. It's a best seller for a rea...
Coleman Brand, Matchlight 10,000 BTU 2-Burner Propane Stove
This is one of those things that I've personally considered investing in because I love my tea. And it's compact and portable, something that can be thrown in a backpack, slim and sturdy enough to be used in a car when it's too rainy to cook outside,...
MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove
It needs no introduction, can be bought at the perfect size to fit their camping stove, and is something that they'll be able to use at home (remember: we love the multi-purpose gifts that aren't just exclusive to their camping trips).
Lodge Classic Cast Iron Skillets
Now, if they've got a banging portable battery like the Bluetti mentioned earlier in this list? This is the air fryer to go with. The Bluetti will easssiiillyyy support this air fryer, it's only 4qts, and it's slim— meaning it won't take up too much space in their vehicle PLUS it's something they can set on their counter when they get back home. So it's not like it's something that'll jus...
bella 4 Qt Slim Digital Air Fryer with EverGood™ Ceramic Nonstick Coating, 6 Preset Cooking Options, Surf - Walmart.com
I own this so I'm COMPLETELY biased, but this is also a game changer in the car camping game because just like a slow cooker, there's sooooooo much you can make in a rice cooker (as college kids 😅).
AROMA® 4-Cup Cooked, 2-Cup Uncooked Rice Cooker & Food Steamer with Bonded Granite® Nonstick Ceramic & Pop-Up Steam Tray
Camping Gear
These are just things that their camping excursions simply cannot do without. ⛺️
I've been personally eyeing one of these bad boys for years because when I get to the point where I'm finally ready to invest in a tent? I'm going with no other— seriously, I've researched this into the grounnndddd. I have multiple uses for a tent, a...
Luna Bell Tent
What I love most about these is how lightweight they are. They can literally fit inside a carry-on bag (if they're taking a flight to their car camping destination) and can also fit in hiking backpacks. Lightweight but durable, these bad boys can tak...
NEMO Moonlite Elite Reclining Backpacking Chair | REI Co-op
Travel Backpacks
Whether they are going on a solo camping trip or need something for the perfect hike up a mountain, these stylish and durable backpacks will be their go-to travel bags for years to come.
With a 4.8 ⭐️ rating out of over 2,000 reviews? Yeah. This is probably the go-to bag that'll easily gain you a hug and a, “I love you.” 😂 It opens in a suitcase style and can even fit in an overhead compartment on flights. So for both camping and ai...
Cotopaxi Allpa 35 L Travel Pack | REI Co-op
This is even great for international trips, to be honest. Available in a XS-XL or a 1X-4X, this can hold all of their essentials and then some. You get them this backpack and they might just book an extended stay for themselves on their next getaway.
REI Co-op Ruckpack 40 Pack - Women's | REI Co-op
This is the back for the hiking enthusiasts, the ones who love to go camping on BLM land or can't be heard from all summer because they've taken a job working for a national park. I'm not kidding. It's a top loader, instead of the suitcase style from...
Osprey Kyte 48 Pack - Women's | REI Co-op
Ways to Make Money
Look, I know this one took you by surprise, I'm surprised I even thought of this... but it just makes sense! Listen, the majority of the time these car campers? They're influencers or content creators, and I'd be reallyyyy overlooking some FREE gifts...
