Best Stanley Camp Cookware for Camping

These are my favorite Stanley camp cookware items that are durable and practical to last a lifetime of camping trips.

Check out the best camp cookware and drinkware gifts for camping and van life by Stanley for gifts that will last a lifetime.

My first Stanley product was an old, classic thermos that my dad passed down to me more than a decade ago. My partner and I would fill it with hot tea (let’s be honest, sometimes hot toddies) and take it to the cliffs overlooking the ocean in California where we’d sit bundled up, sipping on hot drinks and watching the sunset.

I recently got to test out some of Stanley’s new camp cookware and drinkware, which have become some of my favorite car camping essentials. It was easy to see that the same quality and craftsmanship that was behind their products 15 years ago is still there today.

Stanley’s products are more than long-lasting and reusable – they are purposely designed to never need to be thrown away or replaced. They can be passed down for generations like my first Stanley thermos (the Legendary Bottle below) was to me. Here are my favorite drinkware and camp cookware pieces from Stanley that are durable and long-lasting for camping.

All-In-One Boil + Brew French Press

If you’re a coffee drinker, you know that coffee just tastes better outside. For this reason, Stanley’s Boil + Brew French Press is one of my favorite new camp cookware kitchen additions. In fact, I love it so much that we included it in Bearfoot Theory Outdoor Gift Guide.

This French Press is versatile and durable, making it perfect for outdoor adventures. I also love that the handles fold in, making it easy to pack and store without taking up too much space.

I can conveniently boil water and make coffee all in one vessel. Simply boil water in the stainless steel pot, add coffee, then push the French press insert down to strain.

The mesh of the press is so fine that it filters out all the coffee grounds for a nice, smooth cup of Joe. It keeps my coffee hot for hours.

Legendary Camp Mug

Like many of their other products, Stanley’s Legendary Camp Mug is a classic. It’s made from durable stainless steel which means I don’t have to worry about it breaking or chipping if I accidentally drop it.

I use this mug for my morning coffee while camping. Its double-wall vacuum insulation keeps my drink hot for up to 1.5 hours. If I’m craving a cold beverage later in the day, the mug also keeps drinks cold for 3 hours.

The lid prevents spills and makes for easy sipping on the go, plus it’s easy to remove and clean. The handle fits comfortably in my hand, and I find myself reaching for this mug even for everyday use at home.

Classic Legendary Bottle

The Legendary Bottle is another classic and one of my favorite Stanley products. The 1-quart size provides plenty of room for coffee or tea to keep me and my partner going for a day of adventure.

This insulated, leakproof thermos keeps my drinks piping hot for hours (up to 28 to be exact), making it the perfect bottle to bring with me on long hikes and road trips.

It’s lightweight and durable to boot. The leak-proof cap serves as an insulated cup, and the convenient spout makes it easy to pour and share.

Want something bigger? Check out the 1.5-quart version.

Classic Travel Mug

Looking for a mug that will actually fit in your vehicle’s cup holder? If you’re like me and find yourself constantly on the go, then check out Stanley’s Classic Travel Mug.

It will become your companion wherever you go from daily coffee runs to camping trips, road trips, and more. These mugs keep your bevies hot for 5 hours and cold for 8.

It’s durable and leakproof, giving me peace of mind when I toss it in my bag. The trigger-action lid makes it convenient for one-handed use and comes apart for easy cleaning.

I also love the unique colors like limestone and rose quartz glow.

Adventure Stacking Beer Pint

I love Stanley’s Adventure Stacking Beer Pints for enjoying a cold beer after setting up the campsite. Plus, they come in so many fun colors!

And they’re not just for beer. I also enjoy drinking kombucha out of mine.

These pint cups are insulated and made of stainless steel, keeping my drink cold for hours. The durable and stackable design makes them easy to store and a great set for any camp kitchen bin or van lifer.

Adventure Full Kitchen Base Camp Cookset

This Full Kitchen Base Camp Cookset includes all the camp cookware I need to get cooking at camp – 21 pieces in all. I love how I can actually cook a gourmet meal from the comfort of my campsite!

It all packs together in one compact design. Everything nests within the stainless steel pot for easy storage and transportation.

It’s also a compact cook set for van life where saving space is always top of mind. In addition to a pot and pan, this set comes with plates, bowls, and sporks for four, plus a spatula, a serving spoon, and a cutting board.

The cook set is made of stainless steel, so it can handle bumping around in your camping tub and the rough outdoors. It’s also easy to clean!

Adventure Fast Flow Water Jug

I recently took the Adventure Fast Flow Water Jug on a camping trip with my family. It was a game-changer for keeping us all hydrated!

It was so nice to have all the water we needed right at our campsite. We’d fill it up once or twice a day and have enough water to fill our water bottles for hikes as well as for cooking and cleaning up.

This durable water jug holds 2 gallons of water, and it’s super easy to fill and use. The fast-flow spigot makes filling up my water bottle quick.

The rugged design allows this jug to withstand the elements, and the convenient handle makes it easy to carry from my car to the campsite. It’s also a way to reduce single-use plastics!

Adventure Happy Hour Cocktail Shaker Set

This is a fun one for a camp kitchen – the Adventure Happy Hour Cocktail Shaker Set. Whether I’m mixing up a dirty martini at camp or a mocktail, this shaker helps me get the party started.

The set includes everything I need – a shaker, jigger, strainer, and two stainless steel glasses. I love how I can use these tools to juice fresh citrus fruits and level up my camp cocktails.

It all fits together in a compact design. The twist on the top prevents leaks and spills, and the stainless steel design makes it ideal for outdoor use.

Adventure Stay Hot Camp Crock

The Stay Hot Camp Crock is one of Stanley’s most popular products for good reason. The three-quart size makes this crock perfect for sharing meals.

I love how I can whip up a hot meal like soup, chili, dip, or other deliciousness at home and transfer it to this crock pot before heading out on a camping trip. It stays piping hot for 12 hours and makes the first night’s camp dinner a breeze!

It has a built-in handle, making it easy to carry. The leak-proof lid eases my mind when transporting hearty meals.

Even if you’re not camping, this crock pot is also great for backyard BBQs, picnics, and potluck get-togethers with friends and family.
