Summer Camping Essentials

When the warm weather hits, the trail calls—and so does the campsite. Whether you’re planning a weeklong road trip or pitching a tent at your local state park, having the right gear can make all the difference between a “roughing it” kind of trip and a truly relaxing outdoor experience.

At Klymit, we’re all about helping you camp more comfortably—and summer is the perfect time to upgrade your essentials.

Rinse, Clean, Chill: WaterPORT in Action

Let’s start with something that transforms your campsite in ways you didn’t even realize you needed: WaterPORT pressurized water tanks. These rugged, portable tanks make it easy to carry and spray clean water without needing a pump or power source. Simply pressurize the tank (via hand pump, garden hose, or even an air compressor) and you’re good to go.

At the lake? Rinse off sandy feet, muddy paws, or paddleboards before loading up the car. Back at camp? Use it to wash hands before meals, spray off dirty dishes, or douse a smoky fire pit with ease. Need to cool down? Give yourself a mid-afternoon mist or rinse the kids off after a hot hike.

It’s one of those pieces of gear you’ll bring “just in case” and end up using every day.

Your Best Night’s Sleep—Outside

When it comes to sleeping gear, forget the cold, crinkly pads of the past. The Klymaloft™ sleeping pad series is designed for comfort-first campers who want a plush, home-like sleep under the stars. These pads combine a supportive air base with a thick layer of foam on top, offering cloud-like cushioning that cradles your body all night long. The soft stretch fabric adds a cozy finish that feels more like a real mattress than a traditional camp pad.

Whether you're setting up inside a spacious tent or in the back of your SUV, Klymaloft is ideal for car campers, glampers, or anyone who believes that better sleep means better adventures.

Pair it with the Drift Camp Pillow, which blends memory foam fill with an ultra-soft, washable cover. It packs small but fluffs up into the kind of pillow you’d expect to find at a cabin—not in your gear bin. The Drift is perfect for everything from family campouts to overnight road trips, giving you the head and neck support you need to wake up ready to explore.

Comfort Beyond the Sleeping Bag

Looking for one more layer of luxury? The Homestead Cabin Comforter adds that extra “at-home” feeling with soft-touch fabric, synthetic insulation, and a full-size fit perfect for spreading over pads, layering up on cool nights, or using as a cozy campfire wrap. It’s also machine washable, which makes it a family favorite for summer outings where messes happen—and memories are made.

This summer, don’t settle for just getting through the night. Sleep deeply. Stay refreshed. And make the most of every day outside with gear designed to keep you comfortable, clean, and ready for more.
