The Kitchen Camping Bin Checklist

Large camping bin number two, which we lovingly refer to as the “kitchen sink,” holds the items you will use to prepare and cook meals. Keep in mind, a camping bin doesn’t need to be built overnight. By all means, start by stealing from your own kitchen, slowly adding dedicated pieces to each camping bin.

Sporting goods stores and outdoor retailers are great places to start the search for items, particularly during seasonal sales. Next thing you know, a beautifully organized camping bin will be sitting on a garage shelf, packed and ready, making it easier for you and your family to head out. (Camping bin lists shown accommodate a family of three; two adults and one child.)
