We’re amazed by the array of fantastic travel gear and accessories on the market in 2022. There’s something for every kind of camper, from lux items for glamping lovers to super practical items for no-nonsense travelers.

The Best Camping Gadgets According to our Travel Experts:

Best Camping Gadgets by Carefree Covered RV Storage

Thermacell Armored Portable Mosquito Repeller

 

If your crew loves the great outdoors but hates the inevitable onslaught of mosquitoes in warmer weather, the Thermacell Armored Portable Mosquito Repeller has your back (and your arms, your ankles, and so on). Skip the sticky, smelly Deet spray and let this gadget protect you with a 15’ barrier that mosquitoes don’t dare cross. The protection lasts for 12 hours with each charge, and its compact size means there’s always room to bring it along.

AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Maker

 

How much of a coffee person are you? If you require decent coffee to face the day at your campsite, you’ll love the AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Maker. Yes, it makes real espresso! From the sands of beaches to the peaks of mountains, fresh espresso is at your fingertips. This lightweight, easy-to-use portable gadget makes quality coffee on the go a reality. Rise, sip, and shine and leave that instant espresso behind!

 

Pocket Blanket is the best Compact Easy to Pack Blanket for RV Life

 

Matador 2.0 Petit Pocket Blanket

 

That’s right, adventurers: It’s a blanket that packs down to actual pocket size. Water-resistant as well as puncture-resistant, this clever item is a must-have for camping, outdoor concerts, sports sidelines, and family picnics. It unfolds to a sizeable 63” by 44” (that’s about two snuggly grownups’ worth), and its sand pockets and corner stakes will keep it in place in windy weather. What’s not to like?

 

Don't Forget your First Aid Kit while on your Carefree RV Adventure

Let’s hope you won’t need this next gadget, but it’s definitely a smart one to have on hand in your RV or car. This clever kit offers 48 safety-related items, from wound dressings to a top-notch compass, to a super-bright 200-lumen flashlight with four modes. All of this fits neatly into a compact design that’s waterproof as well as impact-resistant. Think of it as your on-call school nurse and friendly neighborhood ranger all in one in case of emergency.

 

Plan for any RV Emergency with go Tenna Mesh communication system

Speaking of emergencies, we all know they can and will happen on the road or on the trail. Off-grid life can be fun, but it’s nice to know you can get help if you need it. The goTenna Mesh System can hook you up to text and GPS even if there are no towers anywhere nearby. Compatible with iOS and Android, the goTenna devices can transmit messages up to 4 miles. That’s potentially a lifesaver when you’re out there roughing it, and something goes wrong.

 

A Soto Pocket Torch XT is a great tiny Gadget for RV Living

The Soto Pocket Torch is a tiny gadget that will extend the life of your cheap gas-station lighter by approximately 60 percent. And “torch” is a good name for it: It yields a flame that’s windproof and several thousand degrees. If you find yourself regularly bouncing around in gusty terrain, this item is a real gem.

 

X-Grill Portable Charcoal Barbecue

So you’ve found the perfect spot to grill those brats and burgers — the only trouble is, it’s two miles down the trail from the RV. No problem: The X-Grill Portable Charcoal Barbecue packs super flat and pops up in seconds. It’s got its own carry tote with a shoulder strap and an electro-plated steel grill that cooks like a champ. You’ve still got to lug the charcoal, but the X-Grill makes sizzling steaks and shrimp al fresco a breeze, from trails to tailgates.

 

Portable Elastic Travel Clothesline is great for the Life on the Road in an RV

 

Hawatour Portable Elastic Travel Clothesline

 

Not all gadgets need to be battery-operated or packed with computer chips. This portable clothesline is about as old-school smart as it gets, with a modern twist. It can be stretched up to 10’ between almost any two points or retracted to a compact size for travel. Sun-dried clothes after a sweaty hike feel (and smell!) amazing, and this line comes with clever clips that prevent clothes from sliding to the center of the rope. Smart, huh?
