Camping is one of the most exciting outdoor activities people engage in. Most campsites are equipped with a host of fun games and events that campers can bond over or learn new skills. When choosing a gift for a camping lover, you may want to consider a practical gift they can use while out camping. There are endless ideas to choose from when it comes to camping gifts. However, here are some of the top five options you can pick from

Tent

This is arguably the most important thing you can get a camper. Tents are an essential item when it comes to camping. Even with owning an RV, the camper at one point or another may need to use a tent for shelter, especially if they camp out in regions inaccessible by vehicles. When choosing a tent to gift your loved one, it’s best to go for a screened one to keep out the bugs and insects. A tent is a practical gift to get a camp lover. However, when choosing one, be sure to pick up a waterproof, lightweight, and convenient one.

Grill kit

Even while out camping, campers need to prepare their meals. You can choose a stainless grill kit that is easy to clean and flexible enough to carry around. There are several portable options to pick from. All you need to do is look around for the most convenient and user-friendly. Grills are also a practical gift to a friend or relative since they don’t have to rely on open fires to prepare their meals.

Sleeping bag

Aside from tents, sleeping bags are also an essential item that every camper needs. Being camping lovers, your friend or relative may already have one. However, it doesn’t hurt to have two for a rainy day. You can also choose to get them one with better quality and improved comfort. Another fantastic choice is the double sleeping bag that couples can use. A double sleeping bag allows you to share a sleeping bag with your better half or for a mom to slide in with a toddler.

ATV and other tool kits

Rebuild and upgrade kits for ATV’s are also a practical gift you can get a camper. As stated before, campsites are filled with several fun-filled games and events that your friends or family can enjoy. One of these activities includes ATV races or rides. Just like a car owner needs their toolbox with them in case of a repair or upgrade, a camper with an ATV may require a kit. These kits are relatively affordable and range from $50-$500 depending on the number of components needed. The pricier ones include electric components. Getting your friend or relative a rebuild kit is an excellent way to get them prepared if they need to do some quick changes or repairs while out in the woods.

Aside from ATV tool kits, you can also get them a general tool kit. Arming them with a tool kit helps them prepare for the unknown. For instance, they may need to repair their tent or fix the grill.

Lantern and Torch

When getting ready for a camping trip, one of the essential items campers need is a source of light. You can choose to get them a lantern or torch or even both of them. With a reliable light source, the campers can easily find their way in the dark and can efficiently perform tasks such as cooking at night. Even while out camping, some like to read one or two chapters before falling asleep. What is the best way to support their reading culture than to get them a lantern? When choosing a lantern or torch, it's best to go for extended-lasting models that are waterproof and drop resistant.

Since camping trips are unpredictable, it may be best to get them a solar-powered collapsible lantern that is easy to carry and provide an unlimited source of power.

Most campers enjoy outdoor living. This means, when choosing a gift for your friend or relative, you need to go for a practical gift that improves their comfort while outdoors. Even if they already own one or two of the camping gear, you can choose to upgrade the quality of their gear. The options mentioned above are but a few. There are several other options to pick from, including utensils, water bottles, and even satellite phones.
