A cot and air mattress that over 11,000 people have given a five-star rating if sleeping on the hard ground is a hard no from you. Sleeping under the stars is rad, but sleeping in a BED under the stars? Unbeatable.

An Aeropress coffee and espresso maker with a stellar 4.8-star rating from over 18,000 reviewers that brews top-notch coffee anywhere boiling water is available. It's also small, durable, and easy to clean, so bringing it to the ends of the Earth with you is a no-brainer, especially when a hot bevy in the morning is considered essential.

A pair of binoculars for getting a closer look at the local flora and fauna. Is that a cardinal?! Oh, nope, just a weird red leaf.

Promising review: "I'm not a small person, and I wasn't sure how it would hold me, but this chair is wonderful. I have used it all over! I took it camping, I took it to the beach, and I even sometimes blow it up and use it in my living room while watching TV. The hardest part is getting out of it gracefully!" —Limoncello

Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in 16 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "Lightweight and easy to set up and use. Sturdy, even temperature, roomy surface. Love everything about it. Easy to clean, too." —LJM

Get it from Amazon for $125.18+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "It's a fire grate — nothing fancy, but I've cooked many a meal on it, from grilling burgers and brats to using it to support my cast iron cookware for more complex meals. I can fit a 15-inch skillet and my Dutch oven, or the skillet and a griddle for cooking breakfast. It folds easy for packing and has held up through multiple uses now." —Carl Shipley

Get it from Amazon for $20.36+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Tough and very good. I’ve used these a couple of times on extended backpacking trips — lightweight and cleans very well. I hate getting into my sleeping bag, dirty. Awesome." —Robb Hattem

The Rumpl blanket is also machine-washable and dryer-safe!

Promising review: "We took this king-size blanket with us on our camping trip to New Zealand. At first I thought it might have been too overkill since it took up a lot of space in my luggage and a duvet was included in our camper van rental. But we ended up using this every night, enjoying the warmth and breathable comfort even on fairly warm evenings. It was definitely large enough for two even with tossing and turning, we both had enough Rumpl to sleep well throughout the night. Great purchase, totally worth it." —becca606

Get it from Amazon for $125 (available in 37 colors and designs).

I have this chair and it's great! It really is light, 1.2 pounds, and easy to put together. It's a perfect outdoor luxury item, especially for anyone taking a long day hike where they want to picnic or for a car camper who doesn't feel the need for a big, traditional camp chair.

Promising review: "Was very hesitant about spending over $100 on a camping chair, but I have to admit this chair is worth the money and the added weight, which is minimal. There were picnic tables at most the campgrounds on the trail, however being able to lean back and stretch my feet out after the long days of hiking was an added luxury. The chair strapped easily to the outside straps of my pack, never got in the way and often forgot it was back there. All in all satisfied with the purchase and will be bringing on all my backpacking adventures now." —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $149.95 (available in three colors).

The pillow is machine-washable.

Promising review: "The pillow packs down to a very small size, small enough to pack away for a weekend backpacking trip and is more comfortable than any of the inflatable pillows that save space. Well worth the space used!" —Billy Wyrick

Get it from Amazon for $38.21+ (available in three sizes and five colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Used inside a backpack on a seven-day whitewater canoe trip. It kept my gear dry through rapids and two days of rain. Recommend it to go inside another bag to organize and keep gear dry as it isn't durable enough on its own. No issues on the trip where it did see some abuse." —Ryan Mantz

Get it from Amazon for $11.21+ (available in seven sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "I bought this power bank for overnight and multi-day backpacking trips. Works just as I had hoped — charges my iPhone quickly and doesn't add a ton of weight to my pack. Great product!" —MarketAce

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I use these for hiking, exploration, and just overall when I am camping or walking around somewhere and want to see things far away. I really think the compact size, and the quality of the image is unparalleled. Definitely worth the price for me." —Kyle Giffin

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes).

The set comes with the chamber, plunger, seal, filter cap, funnel, filter holder, scoop, and stirrer. Here's a super informative video on how to use the Aeropress (while camping, even!) made by the coffee smarties at Stumptown.

Promising review: "This might make some of the best, fastest coffee I have ever had. I visited my cousin in Alaska and she used one EVERY day for her coffee. I forgot completely about it until it was time to take this camping trip, and I randomly found it on Amazon while searching for camping kettles — I am so glad I did. It is super compact, durable, and easy to use. You can have a real quick cup in 30 seconds, or you can wait a couple of minutes and let the flavors meld, the choice is yours." —Gordon Leonard

Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in two colors).

The set includes the pour-over, a reusable metal filter, and a matching mug.

Promising review: "I make coffee in this at home or camping. Easy to wash. Keeps the liquid hot for a long time. I’d recommend 100%. I’d give as a gift for a camping friend who loves that hot cup in the morning but doesn’t want to make a full pot. 10/10." —sandawarrior

Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I purchased two of these and will probably get at least two more. Love how slim these are when they are folded up. We took these camping, they folded up slim enough to hang from a hook in our camper. They were great when we got back from canoeing to realize it had rained all over everything for hours, these chairs dried super quickly, everyone else we were with had wet chairs for the remainder of the trip." –shawnajab

Get it from Amazon for $65.99.

The pad comes with compression straps and buckles for easy rolling and storage.

Promising review: "I purchased the pad to use for camping. It is well made and very comfortable. Better than my own bed!" —JMKAY

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "These sticks are awesome. I love them. In the wintertime I use them at the gas stove. They are perfect for a picnic. I have not tried hot dogs on them but I do not think they are sturdy enough for that. They are awesome for marshmallows." —Mom

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $11.99.

The straw's microfiltration membrane eliminates bacteria and parasites so you can safely drink from any available water source without worry.

Note: if you’re immunocompromised, be sure to read all the package instructions to make sure it’s safe for you.

Promising review: "We recently went camping and decided to try this out. I took a small sample straight from the lake and it tasted like lake water. Then I sampled it through the straw and it tasted like it came straight from the filtered water from the refrigerator." —Terry Robinson

Get it from Amazon for $17.49 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Genius! Lit immediately and our wood was soaking wet! It’s a must-have for all camping/fire-pit events! No more newspapers, boxes, or lighter fluid!" —Mcee

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $18.99.

Promising review: "I like this daypack. It's lightweight and large enough to hold water bottles in the two side pockets (tall 18-ounce) or inside. An extra pocket inside is great for separating things; especially pieces of clothing as the day warms." —MJN

Get it from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "This is the best cooler I have ever owned! It's quite expensive but well worth the price. I have used it for beach days and camping multiple times and I love it!" —Gruber

Get it from Amazon for $275+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This little device was surprisingly WONDERFUL! My hubby hesitated to put it on his 'precious' YETI cooler, but after putting it in, we both were astounded! We never thought about how much easier it would be on our tent camping trips to be able to easily see into the cooler after dark! This was a game changer for us! It works exactly as described. It comes on when opened and goes off when closed — just like your fridge!" —Suzyzzle

Get it from Amazon for $13.23.

Promising review: "This is the most AMAZING camping bed I've ever used, and I've camped my entire life. Not only is it up off of the ground, so my 36-year-old disabled ass doesn't have to cry every time I get in and out of my sleeping bag, my suitcase FITS UNDERNEATH THE BED. Then, there's the cot itself. Mmm...comfy. There's an included air mattress! But won't that just fall off of the cot? That's where the genius of Coleman comes in, kids. They added a pocket made out of super soft microfiber material that feels like your favorite grand-mammy's sheets and zippers open to slide the PREMIUM COLEMAN AIR MATTRESS WITH DOUBLE AIRLOCK MAGICALNESS inside and then you ZIPPER IT SHUT AGAIN. But wait. There's more. HOW CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE MORE?! YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN US SO MUCH, COLEMAN! Mother-loving side tables, Batman. They snap on right where you want them. With holes for all of your beverage-holding needs. And just enough room for a Kindle, a phone, and an adult beverage." —dammit Liesl

Get it from Amazon for $150.99+ (available in twin and queen sizes).

Promising review: "You are camping and backpacking in the forest for weeks. You and your campmates have nothing left to say. To save your smartphone battery, you don't dare turn it on. You're on your last milliliter of whiskey. What's a person to do. Play cards of course! These cards worked amazingly well on my backpack/camping trip. These also do well as temporary coasters or when you need to keep something off the dirt. After a couple of days of rain and humid evenings, one expects a simple set of cards to perform and these did indeed." —paititi

Get them from Amazon for $6.97.

The lantern requires four D batteries, but is also available in a rechargeable version!

Promising review: "A convenient alternative to the old Coleman camping lanterns that used a fabric mantle and burned gasoline fuel. Hangs easily on a loop in a tent or on a stretched line. Provides plenty of light. Well-suited for camping and other outdoor uses, but too large for backpacking." —D E Conner

Get it from Amazon for $16.84+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "One of my favorite shoes I’ve owned! Took them on a hiking trip without breaking them in first — NO problems. So comfortable. Hiked 10 miles through dry and wet and they were a godsend! Awesome!" —Morgan

Get them from Amazon for $40.75+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 26 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "This was very useful for backpacking. Makes a good balaclava, neck warmer, and I am bald so it has enough material I can put it on just my scalp, twist it twice and double down for total coverage as a beanie with no gap at the twist. Also can be wetted and draped over neck for cooling. HIGHLY recommend. This is true excellence." —Drumdogma

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 13 colors).
