10 Amazon Products That’ll Make Camping More Comfortable Than Ever Before

Going camping under equipped is a major buzzkill. Yes, it happens to the best of us. But these days, camping has become much more comfortable than ever before, thanks to new inventions like a portable campfire or a straw that filters and purifies water anywhere.

Here at Bright Side, we encourage outdoor activities. Check out this list to make sure you have exactly what you need the next time you’re in the wild!

1. An eco-friendly portable campfire made from recycled materials

Promising review:

Brilliant invention! Bought it for my husband’s birthday and took it to the beach with the kids — it’s ideal for marshmallows and is very portable. The lid puts the flame out instantly, so it felt very safe, but it also gives off great heat. Delighted! — AB

2. A “straw” to purify water anywhere

Promising review:

I used this at Nuclear Rush 2017, I drank out of the feeding troughs at the end and used it to wash my legs and shoes. The water had no taste and seemed purer than bottled water. I will be using this product time and time again. It saves carrying water with you if you know you will be by a water source. — Naleen

3. A sleeping pad that many reviewers claim is the most comfortable they’ve ever used

Promising review:

After years of carrying around large, bulky roll mats and self-inflating mats, I’ve finally found one that ticks all the boxes. This mat is hard-wearing, keeps you off the ground, and feels great. It’s not hard to blow up at all, and easy to deflate and roll away. It’s light as a feather and rolls down to nothing. — Dan

4. A compact magnesium fire starter that is a must-have for all campers

Promising review:

Works great. Started a fire within a minute or so and with ease. The compass is very loud and works perfectly fine. It seems to point in the same direction as my real compass, so I’m not complaining about that either. 5/5 and will buy again when I need a new one. — Charlie

5. A cooler that holds 30 cans and keeps drinks cold for 24 hours

Promising review:

This product is outstanding! I work 2 jobs, 4 days a week, and use this cooler to pack all of my necessities. From Red Bull to sandwiches to my morning coffee, this Coleman Cooler is compact yet roomy, making it great for any job or work site. If you need something smaller than a backpack, get this cooler! I was very pleasantly surprised. I never thought I would use this bag as much as I have! Originally, I bought it for tailgates and beach days! This is now my go-to for work every day, I wouldn’t leave home without it! — DJPietro16

6. A USB-rechargeable portable shower that can provide up to 1 hour of water flow

Promising review:

Decided to ignore the cheap Chinese knock-offs in favor of Colapz and was pleased I did. We went wild camping last weekend, and it worked really well. The skeptical wife and boys were soon won over completely for showers and feet rinsing. Bought the collapsible yellow bucket for the water, and it works like a charm. The best feature is the on-off paddle on the small shower head, which has plenty of power and force for our needs. I like the rechargeable feature (even though I could have plugged it into the 12v system, but I didn’t want to drain the leisure battery). I rate this a very good buy. — Amazon Customer

7. A flashlight that can also be used as a lantern to light up your tent or camp

Promising review:

Very nice light. I brought it with me on a 3-day camping trip. It seems very durable and gives off good light. It is very handy as a lantern and works just as well in flashlight mode. The lantern gave off plenty of light to illuminate a 7×16 tent. It’s totally worth it. — Amazon Customer

8. A camp chair equipped with a pouch to keep up to 4 cans cold

Promising review:

I bought a couple of these bad boys for myself last year, just thinking they’d be handy to have in case I ever needed them. Turns out I use them ALL THE TIME! They are super comfy and portable. I keep them in my trunk, so I have them for whenever I need them. Great for camping, the beach, distanced outdoor gatherings during the pandemic, backyard BBQ, etc. I recently got one for my dad too, and he loves it! He is often uncomfortable when sitting, but he said this chair is quite comfy. He’s 6’2″ and probably 250 lbs. It’s also great for me because I have wide hips and there’s plenty of room for me AND my hips! — Amazon Customer

9. A little pouch to keep all your essentials while bike riding

Promising review:

I have a couple of these bags, and they are the cat’s pajamas. They hold everything I need for a cycle ride, a couple of inner tubes, a puncture repair kit, tire levers, and a CO2 inflator (at a push). I prefer the large size bag which holds the above gear more comfortably, but owing to restrictions in clearance, I needed to buy this size for this particular bike. Very sturdy, hard-wearing, and waterproof. Recommended. — Jeff P

10. Long-range walkie-talkies to stay in communication even in the most remote areas

Promising review:

Perfect gift for my boys, they’ve had hours of fun with these and the quality is good, so they are still going strong. — Paul
