Solar Products For Camping
Many of our camping trips are temporary escapes from our crazy-paced modern society; they include adventures in remote locations … Some call it dispersed camping while others call it boondocking.
Whatever you call it, it is off-the-grid and you need to bring your own water and power, and that’s where solar equipment for camping comes in to play.
Goal Zero 23000 Yeti 400 Solar Generator
This Yeti Solar Generator’s name is a little misleading, it’s not really a “solar generator”, it’s a battery power pack with a built-in inverter that can be charged by solar panels (or AC outlet).
In other words, you have to charge the internal battery with an external source.
It has USB outlets and AC wall-type plugs. In spite of the slightly confusing name, it’s a great backup power source.

We are always using solar products for camping at our favorite dispersed camping locations like the one we have in Sedona, Arizona.

Portable Solar Phone Charger And Solar Panel Backpacks
We encourage “unplugging” but it’s still a good idea to keep your phones fully charged in case you need them.
This Solar Charger Backpack allows you to charge your devices while you hike.
If you are going to be hanging out at the campsite, this Foldable Solar Panel Charger can be placed on a table and can charge two devices at the same time.
If you need power after the sun goes down, this Solar Charger Power Bank is great because it stores power in its internal battery; that means you can charge it during sunlight hours and the battery stores it until you are ready to use it.

There are so many cool ways to keep your phone charged when you are camping which includes more than just solar options!
Check out these CRAZY COOL gadgets in our How To Charge Your Phone Without Electricity While Camping post!
Solar Powered Portable Radios
Emergency solar powered portable radios are great for AM/FM listening; many of them receive other frequency bands and even have the capability of charging mobile devices.
The iRonsnow is an inexpensive lightweight AM/FM/NOAA emergency radio that has the capability of charging from its small solar panel.
The Kaito is a little more sophisticated adding a shortwave band, tiltable solar panel and an LED light that can be used as a flashlight or red flashing emergency signal.
The Ivation is the higher end of emergency radios with a digitally tuned radio and stereo speaker system.
It also displays the time, date, current temperature and can be used as an alarm clock.

Camping Solar Panel Kits
Converting daytime solar power into nighttime amps! If you need to recharge your batteries including your car, RV or a 12-volt powerpack, a camping solar panel kit will do the trick.
We like these kits that are portable, easy to pack and reposition in order to track the sun as it moves throughout the day.
Camping solar panel kits range in size, cost and energy producing capability; your energy needs will determine the kit that is right for your family.

Solar Camping Lanterns, Solar Power Flashlights
We love gadgets that have multiple uses like this Solar Powered Camping Lantern which can also charge personal electronic devices through a USB port.
The Inflatable Solar Light is kinda like a mini beach ball, just blow it up, turn it on and it shines bright for hours; it only weighs 3 ounces!
This Solar Powered Flashlight can be charged by the sun or by cranking for a few minutes; it also has a carabiner clip.

Cool Solar Gadgets
Your needs for power change a bit if you are camping in an RV or a tent so we’ve included cool solar gadgets for both scenarios.
Camping Solar Shower
A freezing cold shower in the wilderness is not necessary!
These camping solar shower bags heat the water surprisingly well, even in indirect sunlight.
The water temperature can actually get too hot if you leave the bags in direct sunlight for long periods of time (trust me on this, I’m speaking from experience … ouch!).
The size of your camping group and the length of their showers will determine the capacity you need for your camping solar shower.
They come in 2.5 Gallon, 5 Gallon and 10 Gallon sizes.

Solar Power Oven
Let’s eat! Using a solar oven is an easy way to avoid the need for charcoal or propane to cook your food while dispersed camping.
Solar ovens range in size, complexity and cost.
The compact units are easier to fold, pack and carry but don’t cook as much food as the larger types.
Your camping style and size of crowd to feed will help you determine which solar power oven is right for you.

Sun Tea Containers
Thirsty? A freshly-brewed glass of iced tea is so satisfying!
We love the idea of fruit-infused tea.
It can be brewed in individual servings with this tumbler or in a 2 gallon jar with an infuser ball.
If you prefer an alternative to glass, this acrylic infusion pitcher can be filled with fruits, herbs etc.
