Practical RV Camping Gift Ideas
Telescopic Extension Ladder
Our camper doesn’t have a ladder on the back. So in order to get up on the roof we have to do that at home with our large ladder. There have been many times that we needed to sweep off the slide and had to stand move a picnic table and stand on that. Or use the Jeep to stand on to reach the top pf the slide. If your RV friend pulls one of those moves, get them this ladder. It can be stored in the camper or the bed of the truck and not take up much room.
Anderson Levelers
These aren’t as cheap as using the lego bricks or some wood to level the camper. BUT… convenience my friend. All you do is drive up on the leveler until you are level, then stop and chock. That’s it. This one leveler provides leveling increments from 1/2” to 4”. And all you have to do is drive forward. No more guessing or getting crabby! Win WIN!
Rv Step Rug
This rug wraps around your RV steps that way it doesn’t slide off when you are walking up. Our dog is awesome, most days. But she does have some Princess qualities. We call her Princess Paws sometimes. We have to put a rug or towel on the steps so she walks up the RV steps into the camper. She doesn’t like them. She’s also particular about grass and rocks and dirt and well… she earned the name Princess Paws. 😉 Adding a couple of these to the RV steps might help your pup too.
RV Surge Protector
This RV Surge Protector is simple and doesn’t take up a lot of space. We have a 30AMP surge protector, but if your RV friend has a 50AMP, make sure the one you select will be right for them.
Grill Gloves
Oven gloves…grill gloves, they do the same thing. Prevent you from burning your self. These gloves can resist up to 1400 degrees… That’s insane. If you or someone you know plays with fire, these gloves might be a great camping gift.
Car Hitch Key Vault
The car hitch key vault is to hide the extra set of camper or truck keys. It’s also great for keeping keys in the vault for when you are going swimming and can’t really, safely, bring your keys with you.
Microfiber Cleaning Clothes
David and I were just talking about how crappy our towels were. They just don’t dry anything as well as we expect them to. When I think of microfiber towels I think of the towels that I use to dust with…why don’t I use them to dry my hands and the dishes with? I mean if dust can stick to the cloth… imagine the water it can absorb.
Portable Mosquito Zapper
The sound of a zapped mosquito is a great sound. Or maybe we just enjoy it… Either way this one you can hang up and watch/listen to the mosquitos disappear.
RV Planner
This planner will be your one stop shop for planning a family RV camping trip. The planner is over 50 pages. 35 of those pages are to help you plan your RV camping trip. The other pages are journal pages and games for the whole family to use. In the planner, you’ll have a couple pages that will house all your campground info. The planner also has 2 types of calendars for you to fill in as needed. One that starts on Monday and one that starts on Sunday. You choose which one will work for you. There is a campground review page, campground amenities checklist, budget and expense pages, activities itinerary and checklists galore.
Road Trip Planner
This planner is a physically printable planner that you print out to help you plan and execute your family road trip. The planner is over 40 pages and 20 of those pages are games and journaling prompts. There’ll be a couple pages that will house all your accommodations info and all your research. The planner also has 2 types of menu calendars for you to fill in, if needed. One that starts on Monday and one that starts on Sunday. You choose which one will work for you. There is a budget page, activities itinerary and checklists galore.
Space Saver RV Camping Gift Ideas
RV Ladder Mount Bike Rack
We are a family of 5… that means these racks won’t work for us. But if your favorite RV family had 2 kiddos or no kiddos, then this bike rack would work. As long as they have a ladder on their RV, unlike us.
Reusable Food Storage Bags
Most of us want to reuse as much as possible. And who wants to try and remember to double check if you have baggies in the camper. These would solve that problem.
Reusable Food Wraps
This would take the place of saran wrap. It’s sticky and would be used to wrap something up to put in the fridge. Or wrap the bowl your brought that doesn’t have a lid.
Reusable Bowl Covers
Reusable lids will take the place of the Tupperware container lid or you can leave the leftover food in the pot and cover with one of these.
Collapsible Storage Containers
A great space save solution for your leftover food containers. They are also microwavable safe! And if you take them home, you’ll be able to put them in the dishwasher.
Collapsible Camping Cookware Set
This cooking set is very convenient and super easy to clean. It collapses flat to store and not take up much space at all.
Collapsible Sink/Bucket
I know that not every RVer will need or want this. But when you are boondocking and your holding tanks are small…washing dishes in a portable sink is fantastic. If the RV family member in your life, boondocks a lot, this would be great to have. Once you are done with the dishes you can pour this down the toilet or dump it out (depending on where they are boondocking). Best part it collapses down flat!
Space Saving Cooking Tools
How awesome is this? This flat 5 piece set comes with a cheese grater, bottle opener, vegetable peeler, garlic/ginger grater and a pizza cutter. I have all mine scattered in the only drawer we have. And then I fight to keep the drawer closed. These would lay nice a neatly.
Collapsible Silicone Measuring Cups and Spoons
Another fantastic space saver camping gift! Measuring cups and spoons that collapse and lay flat nice and neat.
Nesting Bowls
There are 6 different size bowls that fit perfectly together. The nesting bowls also come with lids and in many different colors.
Sporks
Sporks have come a loooong way! No more throw away spork that you get with your drive0thru KFC order. (Actually I haven’t been to KFC in decades, they still might gift those away with your order) BUT these, are hard plastic they are a spoon on one side and a fork/knife on the other. Hands downs…the best RV camping gift!
Personalized RV Camping Gift Ideas
Custom RV Decal Stickers
These are customizable and can go on your favorite camping families RV. Or your own. We have seen many many RVers that have their YouTube name or their last name on their RV.
Personalized Camping Flag
You see these at almost everyone’s campsite. Some are cute, some funny. But they add a personal touch to your home away from home.
Personalized Cutting Board
This wouldn’t be a good gift for me because I use my cutting boards very well. And I don’t like “extra” stuff. BUT… if you know an RVer that would love a cutting board with their name on it, and they could display it or use it every now and then, this would be the perfect RV camping gift for them.
Personalized RV Mat
I found so many RV mats for you to choose from. The one above is cute and can be personalized. Then I found this adventure one which is right up this Adventure Family’s ally. And then I found a Jeep one that you can personalize as well. Santa might get us this for Christmas. So many great options to choose from. (Watch out for shipping costs as you choose the perfect RV mat)
Camping Wood Signs
If you aren’t sold on the wooden cutting board but want something that it more durable than an RV flag, this is the perfect combination of both. These signs are beautiful and you can customize them for your favorite RV family. (Watch the price as you start adding all the pretty designs, you don’t want to get too carried away 😉 )
RV Camping Gadgets Gift Ideas
6 Quart Pressure Cooker (Instant pot)
The chance that the person you are buying an RV camping present for, already has one of these is pretty high. But maybe theirs broke, or isn’t working right. Or maybe they don’t have one. These are such a convenient kitchen gadget to have. This one pressure cooks, slow cooks, sautes, rice cooker and it ferments, which means that it can make yogurt!
WiFi Extender with Ethernet Port
RV parks are known for spotty WiFi. This will help strengthen it. This WiFi extender covers up to 1500sq ft. Which is plenty for an RV. If you want to check out the reviews on Amazon for this product, they are pretty good and detailed to help you better understand what this device will do.
Small Hand Held Vacuum
Some RVs come with central vac… which is super cool. But most don’t and you need a small vacuum to fit in a corner somewhere or a closet. This small hand held vacuum comes with multiple parts to make cleaning the camper must easier.
Portable Ice Maker
The ice maker makes 26 pounds of ice in a 2 hour period. I know most of us camp in the summer and who doesn’t want an ice cold drink? This saves you from buying bags and bags of ice for the weekend.
Tire Pressure Gauge
Most cars come with a rinky-dink little metal tire pressure gauge. And if you’ve tried to use that on your RV tires, it’s not going to work well. Most RV tires need much more than our cars. This one is digital, so no more guessing where the line is. We also use this one on our Jeep when we need to air down or back up again. We also use this for our RV tires. It work great!
Blackstone Grill Accessory Kit
This set comes with multiple size spatulas, tongs, oil/water bottles and silicone egg rings. Oh and a great carry case to keep all the utensils together instead of with the other kitchen tools inside the RV.
Nutribullet
Does your favorite RV bestie use her blender at home but talks about getting one for her camper but hasn’t yet? Well this would be a great RV camping gift for her. Or if you think they’ll need the more expensive version, check out that one here.
Mini Waffle Maker
This waffle maker is great. It’s small, fits back into the box once you need to store it again. And it’s perfect for making “camping waffles” AKA Churro waffles. They get semi crispy, you lather some butter on both sides, dredge in cinnamon/sugar and drizzle some caramel syrup. It’s SO good. You’re RV camping friend needs this.
Small Air Fryer
2 quart air fryer is perfect for a couple chicken strips, or some chicken nuggets. It won’t fit 30 chicken nuggets, but it’ll fit enough for one person. If you are looking for a large air fryer, this one is 7 quarts and would be able to feed more people.
Brita Water Pitcher
Most full-time RV families have a Berkey. But they are about $300. That probably isn’t a practical present. The next best option is a Brita water pitcher. This one is large and can fill up to 10 cups. The Brita filters are about $35 for a 2pack and last about 6 months.
Fun RV Camping Gift Ideas
RV Party Lights
Our camper has LED lights built into the camper, outside. So I’ve never looked for some. Boy oh boy did I find all kinds of party lights. The ones above are white, but that band also has blue. Then there are Fairy Lights that can change colors with a remote. Then I found some rope lights that change colors with the beat of the music and is Bluetooth compatible. I’m not sure how well this would work with the Bluetooth in the forest with no cell service, but you never know.
Smart Movie Projector
The movie projector works with your TV Stick as well as all phone types and your XBox and PS4. This does what your smart tv at home can do. Check out all the super cool features it has.
Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifying Bags
Our campers get musty smelling when they have been stored up for a couple of months or even all winter. Some odor eliminators will do the trick to get them smelling fresh again.
RV Salt and Pepper Shaker
Look at how cure these are. Most of us have those throw away salt and pepper shakers. This would make a cute addition to the camper.
Camping Picture Frame
When choosing a picture frame, make sure that the photo spot isn’t a small wallet size photo spot. I was looking for some and they were very small. This one about is a 4×6 photo spot and super cute.
100 Parks 5000 Ideas
400 pages of the best experiences and vacation ideas in the US and Canada. The book showcases that best National, State and local parks in North America.
Camping Towels Set
The camping towel set comes with 2 cute dish towels and 2 pot holders for your RV camping friend.
Happy Camper Mug
Everyone needs a Happy Camper Mug! There are sssooo many designs, styles and shapes to choose from. I’m sure you will find the perfect RV camping mug.
Picnic Table Cover
The picnic table cover comes with so much. One table cover, two bench covers, four fixed bands, eight clips and a bag to put it all it! Such a great RV camping gift!
Yard Bucket Game
A yard game that glows in the dark! You get 12 glow in the dark buckets, 6 hollow glow in the dark balls and a bag to put it all in. A fun game the whole family can play.
Indoor/Outdoor Horseshoe Set
My kids LOVE horseshoes! BUT the metal horseshoes are heavy for them to swing properly. But these lightweight rubber ones are perfect! They come with 4 horseshoes, 2 rubber mat with central peg AND plastic dowels for the ground!
Slammo!
A popular game around the campsites. It comes with the net, 3 balls, a carry case and rules to help everyone learn how to play the game.
State Sticker Map
Every RV/camper has one of these…ok not every one but most already have these stuck to the outside of their camper proudly showcasing to everyone where they have been. If your favorite RV family doesn’t have one, they need one.
Large Scratch off Map of United States
Or if you know that they wouldn’t want the sticker map stuck to the RV forever, then how about a scratch off map for inside? We have this one is our camper and it even comes with a National Park scratch off map too. We have that one hanging in David’s office. It’s awesome, we love it.
Pet RV Camping Gift Ideas
RV Camping Dog Collar
Now your pup can enjoy camping attire just like the rest of the family. The collar comes in 4 different sizes, small, medium, large and extra large.
Dog Cot
Our dog loves to go camping with us. She loves to just lay outside and sun herself. Maybe you have a pup in your life that loves to do the same. An elevated dog cot would be a great gift for them.
Collapsible Bowls, 2 Pack
This is a 2 pack. One for food and one for water. We use this for hiking mainly for her water. It works fine. She’s a heavy drinker sometimes and it does move while she drinks. I just have to keep my foot one the other side of it. If it was in the camper on a mat it would be fine. But the plastic bottom is what allows it to move. But it works great for holding water.
Portable Dog Paw Cleaner
This is such a great idea. Our pup loves to play in the water and her paws are always muddy. We all want to try and keep our camper as clean as possible. Dogs, do the opposite. The paw cleaner comes in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. You put a little water in the container and then put your dogs paw in there and twist to clean. There are silicone bristles inside that wipe off the muddy paws.
Bluetooth Indoor Thermometer
This is more of a practical pet camping gift than a fun one. You may not always be able to bring your pup with you hiking so keeping a thermometer in the camper to measure how hot/cold it is in there for her is essential. You can check up on the temp with an app on your phone. Easy peasy.
