Camping Furniture and Equipment

Phew – When camping, the right gear plays a big role in ensuring comfort and functionality. From doormats, chairs, and tables to the camping shower – the camping market offers plenty of options, and depending on your own camper taste, you should carefully consider what you need and what fits your budget. Here’s an overview of ideas for your camping equipment:

  • Camping chairs: Folding or collapsible chairs are particularly well-suited as they are easy to transport and space-saving.
  • Camping table: A folding table, possibly with adjustable legs for uneven ground.
  • Camping boxes and cabinets: Ideal for more storage and space in your vehicle or awning.
  • Hammocks: Two trees are easy to find while camping 😉 Perfect for relaxing with a good book...
  • Awnings: For "wind and weather" – rain and sun protection whenever you want. Alternatively, a awning works too.
  • Electronics: Solar panels, internet sticks, TV mounts, navigation and reversing aids, batteries and chargers, power supply and input accessories.
  • Heating and cooling devices: For cozy camping nights and always cool drinks.
  • Water supply: Freshwater tanks, canisters, water heaters, grey and waste water tanks.
  • Vehicle equipment: Such as roof racks, warning triangles, safety vests, seat covers, floor mats, sun protection for windows, or (for winter campers!) snow chains.

Camping Kitchen: Culinary Delights in the Camping Chair

What would camping be without delicious, homemade treats – maybe even with a lake or sea view? It’s no coincidence that people say "camping food always tastes just a little better than at home."

But what do you need for your camping kitchen? A stove, pot, and cup are obvious, but there are a few other things that should not be missing from your camping kitchen – at least if you don't want canned ravioli on the menu every day 😉 Often, you don’t need much equipment to cook well and affordably while camping.

1) Camping Gas Stove: A particularly compact option, the camping stove is especially suited for tent campers. These come in various sizes and versions. In our online magazine, we offer tips on the gas stove and show which variant suits you best.

2) Grilling while Camping: Sausages and steaks are as much a part of camping as the whipped cream on a strawberry cake, right? Aside from the incredible taste from grilling and frying outdoors, communal grilling is a true event. And maybe you’ll even share a bratwurst with the neighbor 😉

3) Camping Ovens: Homemade cakes and fresh rolls straight from your own campsite – camping ovens make that possible! There are many small and affordable camping ovens that can easily be added to your vehicle.

4) Mobile Cooking Stations vs. Built-in Stove: Fine camping cuisine! For your camping kitchen accessories, a flexible cooking station or perhaps a built-in stove is ideal, if it’s not already integrated.
