Camp kitchens

Why is it that camping food always tastes so great and why do you always feel so much hungrier on the campsite? Perhaps it’s because every family member is way more active...... the children aren’t sitting around on their devices, they are riding bikes and running around. Keeping organised, making meals at the Camp Kitchen and playing with the children keeps the adults lively all day, without having much chance to sit around. The dynamic life on the campsite sure helps everyone work up an appetite. Maybe we are all hungrier just because being outdoors all the time heightens our senses. Whatever the reason, food is a massive part of the camping experience, helping you to create those all-important fun family memories. If your camping entourage involves a large group, it can be quite daunting to prepare a meal for all, especially if you are struggling for work surface or you can’t easily find a knife or stirring spatula. Even if you have a camping table, it’s so useful and convenient to have a detached pledged cook station. A Camp Kitchen allows you to be very organised and it is really great to be able immediately sit down when the meal is ready, instead of clearing all the cooking equipment away before you can begin to eat.

Why do I need a Camp Kitchen?

Setting up a Camp Kitchen really is a personal choice and needs to suit you and your family’s needs. It is a very large part of guaranteeing that everyone enjoys their holiday, by having enough energy for each day’s adventuring. A Camp Kitchen needs to be at counter level height, to ensure you don’t end up stooping over and it’s good to place it somewhere convenient but out of the way for safety, especially if you have young children running around your pitch. Most camp tables, like the Royal Leisure Easy Up Camp Kitchen Stand, have a safety back and surround for your cooking stove, which can protect little hands as well as keeping winds away from your cooking flame. It has an integrated easy up quick folding assembly system and it folds nicely away, with a carry bag to ensure it is easy to transport. It serves as both a space for food preparation and cooking, as well as a convenient place for storing tableware, utensils and food whilst on your holiday.

Will a Camp Kitchen help keep me organised?

If you have older children with you on your camp trip then, if necessary, they can be grown up and eat with a plate on their laps. If you have little ones, you will definitely need a much more fixed set up if you don’t want your mealtime to be very messy! If you are car camping, it is definitely worth checking if your chosen campsite gives you access to a picnic table as camping tables are not always easy to fit into your car, along with all the other important gear. If you need to take a camping table with you, a Camp Kitchen will be very beneficial and help you to keep very organised. Many, like theOutwell Camrose Kitchen Table, have additional organisation. This Camp Kitchen has a safe stove surface, two work surfaces, an additional shelf and four fully enclosed storage areas. Others come with racks or lantern hooks that all work together to enable you to keep all your food, cookware and utensils ordered. Your prep surfaces will remain clear, so that you can whip up a super master-piece of a meal!!!! Being organised should not be snubbed………remember you have hungry mouths to feed.

Does a Camp Kitchen need to be easily portable?

It is a good idea to consider the type of food you and your family will want to eat on your camping trip, how long the cook will want to spend creating each day and how much cleaning up you are willing to do happily. The more extravagantly you want to eat, the more you will depend upon a Camp Kitchen. It is also important to consider how portable you need your Camp Kitchen to be and it’s pack size when bagged up. For example, the Outwell Padres Kitchen Table is a more compact pack size than the Outwell Padres XL Kitchen Table will take up more room in your vehicle, but will provide you with a larger Camp Kitchen. You will need to weigh up the space in your travelling vehicle, along with what type of food you will want to eat and the storage it will provide you with, when buying a Camp Kitchen.

Cooking for your loved ones on your camping holiday successfully can be a bit of a challenge, especially considering you need to bring everything you need along with you in the first place. However, a Camp Kitchen will, without doubt, help you to relax by enabling you to stay organised, give you a separate eating place and keep your little ones safe from harm.
