WHETHER YOU’RE a true city slicker or someone who spends their free time deep in the backcountry, one thing is sure: There’s nothing like an escape into the great outdoors. And the best part is, it’s always there, ready and waiting for you. Of course, not everyone is equipped with the right camping gear like tents, hiking boots, and the like (or the budget for it) to outfit the most adventurous excursions. Luckily, they have dear friends and family like you to offer a gift—whether it’s tied to a specific occasion or not. If it makes their time outdoors more enjoyable, there’s no time like the present to dive into camping gifts for your loved ones.
Of course, with the wide range of products in the outdoor gear space, finding the gifts that fit your loved ones’ wants and needs—like gifting anyone, really—is easier said than done. But, from one granola to someone who’s shopping for another, the best camping gifts you can get someone entail the things they’ve been eyeing for their next trip and those that remind them of the outdoors for those times when they can’t get away.
If you don’t have the chance to take a peek at their growing wish list on retailers like Backcountry, REI, Amazon, and the like, no worries. We’ve put together a list of foolproof camping gift ideas (including everything from affordable knick-knacks and tools to cool, luxury items the outdoorsman in your life might never buy for themselves) that’ll have your giftee set for the season ahead. And just in case you’re also on the market for the best outdoor gear out there, go ahead, add some things to the cart for yourself, too.
