Is your friend a music lover? If that’s the case, a waterproof portable speaker might just be what they need for their next camping trip! Indeed, ideal for listening to music in the evening by the fire after a long day walking, a wireless speaker is the perfect gift for music aficionados. What’s more, a compact model will easily slip into a backpack, making it a great camping item to carry. Picture your friend lying down in the warm night, gazing at the stars while playing their favorite songs in the background.

Instant Set-Up Tent

Every camper has experienced this at least once in their camping life; having to set up a tent in the cold, miserable weather after a long and tiring day hiking. And this can prove to be really daunting. What if you could make their life easier by offering them an instant set-up tent? All they’ll need to do is take the tent out of the bag, open out the four corners, pull out the pole to a vertical position, and voila! This will give them plenty of time to sit back and relax with their favorite book, a beer, or a glass of wine while reminiscing about the highlights of their adventurous day!

If your friend is a minimalist camper, a pop-up tent can be the ideal choice as it’ll provide them with a hassle-free camping experience.

Portable Lantern and Phone Charger
If you want to spoil your camper friend, you can’t go wrong with an all-in-one solar lantern and phone charger! 
Indeed, 2-in-1 solar portable lanterns can provide hours of light and can be recharged by being placed in the sun for a few hours or by being plugged in for an hour or two. The great thing with these kinds of phone chargers is that not only do they provide adventurers with an ongoing source of energy to recharge their phone while camping, but the light can also be adjusted to their needs. Indeed, whether they’re reading at night in their tent, having breakfast at dawn, or simply going for a walk at dusk, the solar lantern will be able to provide them with the level of brightness they need. Besides, 2-in-1 portable lanterns are also lightweight and can be folded, making it easy to store in a backpack. This incredible 2-in-1 accessory is a must-have for any serious camper ;)

Solar Shower  
Nothing beats having a hot shower surrounded by nature after a long day exploring the great outdoors.
If your friend likes to go off-the-beaten-track and enjoys camping in the middle of the wilderness, only surrounded by the beauty of nature, a portable solar shower could be the perfect gift! All they’ll need to do is fill it up with water and place it in the sun for a few hours before using it, and tada! They’ll get to experience a delightful warm shower after at the end of a long day hiking. 

Unbreakable Wine Glass
Does the person you’re shopping for both love camping and wine? Giving them an unbreakable wine glass could be a great idea! After all, few things beat sitting by a fire and watching the sunset with a glass of good wine in hand.

This particular glass has been designed to sustain any type of camping situation, and the base can be inverted and tucked into the main glass to make it easier to pack and carry. It’s sturdy and lightweight, making it the perfect camping accessory for wine enthusiasts.

This thoughtful gift will be sure to make your friend happy.

Gas Stove

Want to give your camper friend the best food experience they can get while camping? A quality compact and lightweight camp stove can be a fantastic camping gift idea! 

Not only will this allow them to upgrade from granola bars, veggie sticks, and sandwiches to mac and cheese and hot dogs, but it’ll also enable them to safely enjoy the campfire experience in the wild without having to worry about starting a fire. 

Coffee Espresso Machine
Picture this; the sun is rising on the horizon, and the splendor of nature awakens as the surrounding hill-tops and valleys are bathed in a golden light. The delightful smell of coffee fills in the air while birds are vigorously delivering their morning song. 

This is exactly what your friend will experience with a portable espresso machine. Not only will they be able to start their day of adventure on the right foot, a cup of coffee in hand, but they’ll also be able to sip on their favorite drink all day long thanks to the lightweight aspect of a portable mini espresso machine.

Inflatable Air Mattress 

A high-quality, foldable, and lightweight air mattress is a no-brainer for any camper.
