Our Fav 22 Camping Essentials for Women

It seems obvious when talking about camping essentials and camping gear, a tent would be the first to come to mind. When you’re camping, your tent is your home away from home. Make sure you have a good quality tent that can withstand bad weather and keep you warm and dry.

We've chosen the Coleman Sundome for your tent camping. It is easy to set up and has stood the test of time in the great outdoors. Reviews from many an experienced camper makes it Amazon's #1 best seller in camping tents.

If you are heading out on a car camping trip, or RV camping with the family you may prefer the larger family-size tents. See our complete FavRevew titled, "Best Coleman Tent for Family Camping" for some great camping essentials for women travelling with family.

If heading out on a backpacking trip, you will be seeking a lightweight pack. We like pop-up tents for fast set-up and a lighter load. To read more about smaller pop-up tents, see our complete FavReview "The Best Pop-Up Tent for Camping: How to Choose and What to Know"

A comfortable sleeping bag is essential for a good night’s sleep. Choose one that is rated for the temperature of the area you’ll be camping in, so you are prepared for cold weather.

A camping stove will allow you to cook hot meals while you’re out in the wilderness. Choose one that is easy to set up and use on your great adventure.

We've selected Amazon's #1 choice for camping stoves, for your camping checklist. This one offers dual fuel possibilities, so you have the convenience of using either gas or propane to fire it up.

You'll need some sort of cookware to cook your meals on your camping stove. A pot or pan will work fine, but there are also specially designed-cookware sets that are made specifically for use with camping stoves.

We've chosen Bulin's camping set for your dish and cookware needs. We like its' compact design and easy-to-carry case. We like the fact it includes a tea kettle too!

They have different sizes of kits available. This one shown in our photo is a 13pc, reasonably priced set. We love the space-saving options with this set.

Of course, no camping holiday would be complete without food and water! Be sure to pack enough food and water for everyone in your group for the entire duration of your holiday. If you plan on doing any backpacking, be sure to pack extra food and water in case you get lost or run into other delays along the way.

Freeze-dried food packs are popular. As well as just-add-water meals, you'll have your camping pots and pans or kettle to boil and add water.

For Water you will want a good water bottle, to stay hydrated. see our listing below.

Other camping essentials related to food and water include collapsible water storage containers. This is a 2-pack of much-needed storage containers for water. These are collapsible, BPA-free and PVC free and food safe. 

So you can either fill them before you leave or when you get to camp if they have a potable water source. When it comes to camping essentials for women, it's important to have all of the fresh water you need for washing, preparing meals and drinking.

It’s important to stay hydrated when you’re spending time outdoors in warm weather. No one will argue when discussing camping essentials for women that we need to pack a water bottle and our fav travel mug. These allow us to start our day off right with a coffee and stay hydrated throughout the day. 

You likely have several, BUT, do you have a time-motivating water bottle? This 32 oz bottle shows you how much water you should have consumed by certain hours of the day.

It's innovative camping essentials like these that we need to stay hydrated for the days we're out backpacking, kayaking or camping when time slips away so quickly.

A headlamp is essential for any after-dark activities like going to the bathroom or taking a midnight stroll around the campsite. Choose a headlamp, for hands-free lighting, with different light settings so you can adjust the brightness depending on what you’re doing.

A headlamp in a toque sounds like something a woman invented. This headlamp has three settings, AND it has a USB connection, so it can be recharged via USB. It detaches easily from the hat, so your hat can be washed too.
