When it comes to camping sometimes, more is not merrier, except in the kitchen! I own a 1990’s popup camper and although I can cook a great meal with the small propane grill provided, I love to bring other items to up my camping experience.
Though the items I’m about to show you go best with propane or electricity sources, using this appliances can go with any camping style for example, tenting, popup camping, travel trailers or larger big rigs.
Having an assessable outdoor kitchen with all it glory make camping fun and enjoyable. Here are my top 5 kitchen items to up your camping kitchen’s game and great at home meals all at the campsite.
Glamping in Style
Air Fryer
We enjoy our air fryer just as much as the camping stove. Making crispy fries, roasting meats, or baking delicious brownies at the campsite is always a treat. You can do any number of recipes and clean up is a breeze. The portability of the item is wonder, it doesn’t take up much space. Tip: if you don’t already own one for the home, you should! Test try your recipes at home first, yummy!

Flat Top Griddle
A griddle not only helps with making golden pancakes but can cook many other delicious recipes like fajitas. We appreciate the fold-and-go portability, pre-seasoned surface, and durable non-stick cook surface that most camping flat top griddles come with. Can be powered by propane or gas sources. Tip: get one with a cover or zipper bag, make life much easier.

Refrigerator
Having a smaller refrigerator outside next to the outdoor kitchen in wonderful and convenient. They come in many sizes, colors, and offer freezer storage as well. We love keeping ready to eat foods in our coolers and indoor refrigerator and store more of the tempered foods in the outdoor fridge. Items like milk, eggs and raw products. Tip: by a roll of Reflectix and cover the back of the refrigerator, this will help with heat, humidity and cooling down the fridge making it more energy safe.
