Our Top 6 Car Camping Essentials

There are lots to cross off on the car camping checklist. We broke it down for you from why you need it all the way to where you can purchase these car camping essentials.

#1 - Camp Shower: If your car is muddy from off-roading in your N Charlotte Toyota during the day, then you need something to wash your ride off. The NEMO Helio is a high-pressured shower with a 2.9-gallon tank that has a 7-foot hose so it can reach any surface from the outlet. It’s also good to wash off your kayaks and paddle boards with, too! You can purchase this car camping essential on REI Co-op.

#2 - Power Station: If you want to stay connected in the wilderness, then look no further than the Yeti 200X from Goal Zero. Be sure to charge this brick up before you hit the pavement in your N Charlotte Toyota Tundra. This powerful device has the energy to charge your smartphone 20 times! Not only that, but you can even fill up your tires, just in case they get low – and any other car emergencies that require electricity to fix. You can purchase this car camping essential on REI Co-op.

#3 - Camp Lighting: Another item for N Charlotte Toyota gear that’s a must-buy is camp lighting. The MPOWERED Luci Portable Solar String Lights are essential to amplify your dinner under these lovely lights. Just hang them on some trees! These lights can last up to 20 hours on a single charge - Luckily, if they die during your camping trip, they can also be charged by using solar energy. A plus side is that they’re water-resistant! You can cross this one off your car camping checklist by purchasing it on REI Co-op.

#4 - Rooftop Tent: This is best for sleeping is a rooftop tent! This is perfect if you have an N Charlotte Toyota Tundra or Tacoma. The Thule Tepui Foothill Tent can easily fit two adults or two adults and a small child. You won’t have to sacrifice your comfort either with the 1.6-inch built-in foam mattress.

#5 - Camp Stove: This is one of our personal favorites – it’s almost like a camping life hack – Are you looking for Charlotte Toyota car camping gear to cook some delicious hot meals? The Eureka Ignite 2-Burner Camp Stove is small and compact and has two burners to allow enough room to cook some burgers and roasted veggies.
