Wool Blanket
Wool is one of the best camping materials around. It’s not only a natural insulator, trapping air inside the fibers, but also stays drier than other materials because moisture can’t get in the fibers. This wool blanket, made of 90 percent wool and 10 percent synthetic fibers, is machine washable.
Family Camping Tent
When you want to start the outdoor family fun as soon as possible, choose the Coleman Instant Tent. It sets up in just 60 seconds thanks to pre-installed poles — just unfold, extend, secure and it’s move-in ready.
The spacious interior sleeps six. The integrated, vented rainfly provides added protection from summer showers and improved airflow without extra assembly. When it’s time to head home, the tent comes down as easily as it went up. What’s more, it’s surprisingly light to transport via the expandable carry bag.
Rollaway Cooler
To ease the transport of food and beverages that need to be kept cold, this Coleman wheeled cooler is a perfect find among camping gadgets. It holds 62 quarts and features a leak-resistant drain.
Cooler Light
Don’t rely on the light of the fire as you fish around for a beverage at night. This cooler light, secured with provided adhesive tape, turns on when someone opens the cooler and turns off when the lid closes. The light has about a 20-second illumination time.
LED Tent Lights
Keep these handy LED lights around rather than relying on a flashlight. These can be attached inside or outside the tent to provide illumination. The small clip hooks keep the light in place so you always know where they are.
Dry Bag
If your camping adventures involve activities like kayaking, canoeing or fishing, this dry pack will keep your mobile devices safe. More than 21,000 Amazon reviewers give it 4.8 stars.
Dog Pack Saddlebag
If you bring your four-legged friend on adventures, this dog pack is perfect. It’s made of cotton canvas and adjusts to fit medium- to large-sized dogs. A few zipped pockets store whatever a dog may need on the trails.
