Buying for someone who camps is hard. They already own the obvious things, half of what looks useful only fits certain rigs, and nobody wants another novelty mug. So we pulled this list from our own shelves. Every item below is something we stock and ship from Upland, California, and the prices run from about $10 to $400.
If you would rather skip the guesswork entirely, jump to the gift card section at the bottom. Otherwise, browse the full RV Holiday Gift Guide or work through the categories below.
Stocking stuffers under $25
This is the range where you can buy without knowing much about their setup. Multitools, lights, and camp kitchen odds and ends get used no matter what they tow.
- Mini 14-in-1 Multitool Pliers Pocket Knife — about $11. Pliers, drivers, and a blade in something that lives in a pocket or glovebox.
- 12-in-1 Credit Card Pocket Multitool — about $11. Flat enough for a wallet. A good filler gift that does not add clutter.
- Collapsible Solar LED Camping Lantern — about $15. Folds flat and charges in the sun, so it works when hookups are not an option.
- 18-in-1 Camping Survival Multitool — about $21. A step up from the pocket versions for someone who does longer trips.
- Solar/Rechargeable LED Flashlight 1000LM Emergency — about $21. Solar and USB charging together means it still works when the battery is flat.
- Tire Repair / Plug Kit Heavy Duty Emergency — about $23. Unglamorous and genuinely valuable. Trailer tires fail far from help.
- Camping Utensil Set 4-in-1 for 2 Persons — about $17. Sized for two, which suits most couples traveling in a camper.
- Spice Shaker Set with Tray 6-Pack — about $15. Camp cooking gets a lot better once seasoning is not in loose bags.
- Black Series Cap — about $10. For the Black Series owner who wants the badge.
- BlackSeries Cup — about $10. Cheap, useful, and on brand if they tow one.
Gifts $25 to $50
At this price you can buy something with a bit more substance: lighting that changes how the campsite feels, or kitchen gear that replaces a compromise they have been living with.
- RV Awning LED Strip Lights 20FT 12V — about $33. Twenty feet of 12V strip under the awning. One of the few upgrades people notice immediately.
- Vintage Rechargeable LED Camping Lantern Retro — about $38. Looks the part on a table and recharges rather than eating batteries.
- Portable LED Camping Lantern 10000mAh 4000LM 30W — about $35. A large battery, so it doubles as a way to top up a phone.
- Folding Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill — about $29. Folds down for storage, which is the whole problem with camp grills.
- Campfire Poker & Tongs Tool Set 32"/26" — about $35. Long handles, so nobody is reaching into the fire.
- RV Stainless Steel Cutting Board — about $29. Stainless survives camper life better than wood or plastic.
- Kitchen Gadgets Set 13-Piece — about $29. Thirteen pieces covers most of what a camp kitchen is missing.
- Collapsible Dish Basin 9L with Drain Plug — about $36. Collapses flat. Washing up without filling the sink saves fresh water.
- Waterproof Camping Cookware Organizer Bag — about $26. Stops the pans rattling across the state line.
- 9-in-1 Carabiner Multitool Pocket Knife — about $26. Clips to a bag, so it is actually there when needed.
Gifts $50 to $100
This is the sweet spot for a main gift. Sets and kits land well here because they replace several worn-out things at once.
- Emergency Survival & First Aid Kit 142pc — about $52. A serious first aid and emergency kit. The gift nobody buys themselves.
- Dometic Hydration Water Jug 11L, Glacier — about $60. Eleven liters from a brand RV owners already trust.
- Portable Water Filter Pump 0.01 Micron Survival — about $54. Filters down to 0.01 micron, which matters for boondocking off untreated water.
- 21-in-1 Survival Gear & Camping Kit — about $60. Twenty-one pieces in one box. An easy single-gift answer.
- Folding Survival Shovel & Tactical Axe Multitool — about $65. Shovel and axe in one folding tool, for recovery and firewood.
- Melamine Dinnerware Set 12-Piece Unbreakable Sandy Brown — about $71. Twelve pieces that will not shatter on a rough road.
- Wheat Straw Dinnerware Set 36pc — about $57. Thirty-six pieces if they host, and lighter than ceramic.
- Camping Kitchen Utensil Set 27pc Stainless Steel — about $75. A full 27-piece kit for someone who cooks properly outdoors.
- Rechargeable LED Lantern 1000LM IPX4 with Power Bank — about $69. Lantern and power bank together, rated IPX4 for weather.
- Sling Backpack — about $80. A day bag for the hike once the rig is parked.
- Home Is Where We Park It Canvas Wall Art 11x14 — about $60. For the interior. A softer gift among all the hardware.
The big gift, $150 and up
These are the ones people put off buying for themselves. If several of you are going in together, start here.
- Tri-Fold Memory Foam Mattress 4" with Pillow — about $150. Camper mattresses are usually the weak point. Four inches of memory foam fixes a lot of bad nights.
- Costway 4.5kg Compact Portable Washing Machine for RVs — about $189. Changes how long a trip can run before a laundromat detour.
- Renogy 200W 12V 16BB N-Type Solar Panel — about $199. Two hundred watts of N-type panel, for someone building out off-grid power.
- Gravity Water Filter Bucket System for Camping and Emergencies — about $225. Gravity fed, so it needs no power to produce drinking water.
- 12V 8KW Diesel Air Heater with Bluetooth App and Remote — about $228. Eight kilowatts of diesel heat, controlled from a phone. This is the cold-weather gift.
- RV Fold-Down Outdoor Table, Diamond Plate Exterior Bar Table — about $358. Folds against the rig when moving, drops down as outdoor counter space at camp.
For the one building an off-grid setup
If they talk about amp hours and state of charge, they are partway through a power build and they know exactly which piece is next. That is the problem: guessing wrong here is expensive and hard to return.
We carry a deep Victron Energy range along with solar panels and charge controllers. Unless you know the specific model they are missing, this is the category where a gift card genuinely beats a guess.
For Black Series owners
If they tow a Black Series camper, we keep a separate list of upgrades and spares that fit those rigs, from OEM parts to the accessories owners add first. Browse Gifts for Black Series Owners.
When you have no idea what they need
There is no shame in this. RV owners are particular, and a part that does not fit their model is worse than no gift at all.
An RV Parts Giant gift card comes in $25, $50, $100, $250, and $500. It is delivered by email within minutes, so it still works if you have left this late. It never expires, carries no fees, and can be spent on anything we sell, online or in person at our Upland store. If their order runs over the card balance they can pay the difference with a card.
A few practical notes
- Order early in December. Larger items such as mattresses, panels, and heaters ship freight and take longer than a small parcel.
- Prices above were current when this guide was published and can change. The product page is always right.
- Not sure it fits their rig? Call +1 (833) 822-6737 or email Support@rvpartsgiant.com and tell us the make and model. We would rather answer first than process a return.
