SUV & Car Camping

Camping is a recreational activity that involves spending time away from urban areas and immersing yourself in the outdoors. Sleeping in tents or vehicles allows campers easy access to activities such as hiking, fishing, boating, biking, and preparing meals outside. While some people opt for RVs or other highly specialized camping rigs, the best vehicle for car camping is the one already parked in your driveway. With high-quality rooftop tents, shelters, packable camp furniture and storage options widely available, it’s easier (and more comfortable) than ever to hit the road and experience time in nature.

Car camping opens a world of culinary possibilities that are as much a part of the adventure as the other activities you've planned. A portable grill or stovetop is essential, unless you plan to cook over a campfire. A powered cooler will keep food fresh for many days, just like your fridge at home. (And since you’re on the road, consider taking advantage of fresh, local produce.) The best food tastes even better outside, so bring camp furniture that packs easily into your car to elevate your camp kitchen hangouts. With some thoughtful meal planning, you’ll whip up gourmet meals wherever you make camp.
