Seasonal Campsite Must-Haves
It’s that time of year again, BC! Every year, the team at South Thompson RV puts together our latest round-up of the top seasonal campsite must-haves for your upcoming camping adventures. And with the fall season in full swing, these are especially ideal for camping in cold temperatures.
Proudly serving Kamloops and the Okanagan region for over 30 years, our team is always keeping a keen eye out for the latest equipment to make your camping adventures more efficient and simpler, whether you’re hoping to go off the grid for a while or increase your connectivity in the great outdoors. From campfire essentials to lighting solutions, here are our top picks for seasonal campsite must-haves!
- Personal Comfort Items: Heated blankets, cooling fans, and moisture-wicking bedding ensure comfort in varying weather conditions. For those camping in cooler areas, portable propane heaters with safety shut-offs are essential.
- Weather-Resistant Clothing: Pack moisture-wicking thermal layers, a waterproof jacket, and insulated boots. Accessories like beanies, gloves, and thick socks help maintain body heat.
- Durable Lighting Solutions: As daylight fades earlier in the fall, bring battery-operated lanterns, headlamps with extra batteries, and solar-powered string lights for a cozy campsite setup.
- Smart RV Tech: Gadgets such as Wi-Fi boosters, mobile routers, and GPS systems tailored for RVs ensure better connectivity and navigation in remote areas.
- Portable Power Solutions: If going off-grid is more your thing, compact solar panels and power banks that can recharge devices and run smaller appliances have become popular for off-grid convenience.
- Collapsible and Space-Saving Gear: Foldable items like chairs, tables, and storage containers help optimize space without sacrificing comfort. Compact kitchenware, such as nesting pots and pans, is also useful.
- Outdoor Cooking Equipment: Portable grills, propane camp stoves, and electric cookers that handle outdoor conditions are essential. Consider multi-functional tools that can air fry, bake, and grill.
- Comfort Items: Insulated camping chairs (like these) and wool or fleece blankets make for a more comfortable outdoor experience. A high-quality thermos for hot drinks and a portable, weather-resistant camping mat add extra warmth and convenience.
- Advanced Leveling and Stabilization Tools: Electronic levelling systems and sturdy wheel chocks provide easy setup and increased stability.
- Campfire Essentials: A portable fire pit (like this one) is great for locations that restrict ground fires, along with a set of fire-starting tools that work in damp conditions.
- Comfort Accessories: High-quality camping rugs, weatherproof mats, and comfortable, insulated camping chairs can make the outdoor area more inviting. Portable hammocks with stands are a trendy addition for relaxation.
- LED Lighting Solutions: Efficient LED lanterns, string lights, and solar-powered path lights enhance the atmosphere and provide safe, reliable lighting.
- Compact Cleaning Tools: Handheld vacuums, portable pressure washers, and multi-surface cleaning wipes help maintain cleanliness without taking up too much space.
- Safety and Security Equipment: Items like tire pressure monitoring systems, carbon monoxide detectors, and motion-activated security lights are vital for safety and peace of mind.
