5 things to consider for mastery of the campsite kitchen

Some of the most memorable parts of a camping trip are mealtimes, whether that’s on the campsite with family or on top of a mountain. So, no matter what your adventure requires, Vango has the ideal kit for you to master the campsite kitchen.

Choosing your stove

The best way to ensure success is to have the correct kit for the correct scenario. Gas stoves are great for a consistent heat, like cooking at home, and they don’t require an electric hook-up. Induction hobs are also a great option for a home style hob top and are super easy to wipe clean. If you prefer a more outdoor cooking vibe, the Vango foldable BBQ can provide that signature flame grilled flavour ideal for alfresco dining. Or if you’re heading out on a hike or wild camping, compact stoves are the ideal lightweight options made for easy transportation and effective cooking whilst on the move.

The most suitable cookware

The pots and pans to use depends on the type of trip you’re going on. If you’re planning on a week long trip then perhaps something a little more similar to what you use at home would be more suitable, a little heavier a bit more capacity for larger meals would be perfect. However, if you’re heading on a backpacking trip or hiking trip then tough, compact and lightweight kit is absolutely essential. Or a hybrid, something great value, easy to transport, clean and pack away is ideal for a no-hassle short weekend away. Which option suits your adventure best?

Storing your food

Food storage is essential whilst camping and a great cool box is the ideal way to ensure that you can transport your food safely and ensure it lasts for the duration of your trip.

However, for some trips having a cool box just isn’t practical, so when hiking we have some great options for meal packs that provide high calorie, delicious premade meals with no preparation required!

Your choice of tableware

What mealtime would be complete without a complete set of tableware. Realistically you’re not going to take your plates and cups from home so a durable and lightweight set of camping appropriate tableware is a great addition to your trip.

Also, compact sets made from tough materials are the ideal companion when you’re travelling light

Which campsite furniture do I want

And finally, relaxing in comfort, enjoying time with your loved ones whilst taking in the views, is the icing on the cake after the effort of preparing for mealtimes. There are so many options, are you looking for the height of luxury to recline in? do you prefer solid arms on your chair? Or do you want something lightweight that folds down and is super transportable?
