Time flies. It’s almost holiday season and old man Winter is on the way. Admittedly, it’s not prime camping weather this time of year, but that doesn't mean it's not a good time to stock up on supplies for next season.
Accordingly, we put together a list of great gift ideas that will get you (and/or your loved one) set up for an early start to the 2025 camping season.
Be Prepared for Anything
1. BoxoUSA Off-Road Tool Kit is an 80-piece set designed for when the you-know-what hits the fan. It packs everything a vehicle owner could need, should Murphy’s Law strike, from freeway to off-the-grid.
2. Moki Car Doorstep Sick of balancing precariously on your hub or tires to get to your roof top gear? Get a boost up with this incredibly simple and small car door step.
3. Yeti 300 Power Station Designed for outdoor adventures, the Goal Zero Yeti 300 power station is tough enough to handle mud, dirt, dust and water, making it a must-have for everything from car camping to beach parties.
Cooking
No camp is complete without a good stove — or stoves — for fixin’ up some delicious campsite dinners.
4. Slim Twin Propane Stove says it all with its moniker: it’s slim. If you’ve used the classic Coleman camp stove but wished there were a sleeker and more refined modern equivalent, you’ve found it.
5. Supalite Titanium If you’re looking to save even more space and shed even more weight, check out the Supalite Titanium stove. It screws onto a butane bottle to create a super compact and convenient stove that can fit in your car’s glove compartment or center console.
Cleaning Up
From gear to pets to dishes, there are plenty of things that need washing when you’re in the backcountry. Leitner Designs’ HydroPOD Carry makes cleaning up easy.
6. HydroPOD Carry is a compact, pressurized water tank that holds up to 4.8 gallons of water and includes a 20-foot hose, ensuring you have an easy-to-carry shower on hand no matter where you go.
Camp Comfortably
From easy-to-use rooftop tents to hardy down blankets, Roofnest offers products that make camping easier and more comfortable, ensuring that campers can leave earlier and stay at camp longer. And don't underestimate the difference a solid pillow can make, or warm down socks when you're camping in winter.
7. Meadowlark is Roofnest’s first-ever soft-shell rooftop tent sets up in seconds. Its relative light weight makes it ideal for even the smallest cars.
8. Lite Wing Awning is a freestanding 270-degree awning that adds much-needed coverage from the elements, be it sun or rain.
9. Puffy Camp Blanket Even if you have a sub-zero-rated sleeping bag, it never hurts to have a bit more heat. Roofnest’s Puffy Camp Blanket adds another layer of cold-weather comfort.
10. Fillo Elite Pillow Don't overlook the importance for nighttime comfort in the backcountry. This award-winning pillow ensures all-night bliss wherever you wander.
11. Down Booties Lightweight, highly compressible and great for sleeping, the Exped Down Socks add an extra layer of warmth around your feet with individually filled H-baffles that eliminate cold spots.
Get ready to make 2025 a year of outdoor adventure, and use this gift guide to help you get started!
