If you have a camper-vanning father figure in your life, here are some great gifts they’re sure to love — at a variety of price points.

Best of all, each serves a purpose, as everything in your camper van should.

Cool gear

Help dad stay cool and comfortable this summer.

Hurley straw hat

$24.99 on Amazon
For those long summer days when the sun just won’t quit. (And, neither will dad.)

Towels of different colors and their packing pouches.

Cooling towels

$22.99 on Amazon
Just wet, wring and shake for an instant cool on the trail, at the river or anywhere.

A single Adidas slide shoe.

Adidas slides

Starting at $17.48 on Amazon
Great for bumming around the campsite or for that iffy-looking campground shower. Gross.


Chill vibes

Relaxation is serious business. Make sure dad’s prepared.

Packable hammock

$34.95 - $44.95 on Amazon
If dad wants to share their hammock, get the large (for two people). If not, go for the medium (for one person).

A rocking chair that collapses for travel.

Collapsible rocking chair

$69.99 on Amazon
Get ready to donate your other camping chairs. Because these chairs rock, literally. And, they come in a variety of styles and colors, from GCI Outdoor.

A wireless Bose speaker for traveling.

Bose travel speaker

$149 on Amazon
This speaker is all the things: Bluetooth, waterproof, rechargeable. Oh, and totally sleek.


Hangry prevention

No one wants a hangry dad at the wheel or on the trail. Snacks are the perfect fix. And, a great gift for the father who doesn’t like ‘things.’

A box of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

Cheetos Flamin’ Hot snack box

$23.44 on Amazon
Forty bags. Five varieties. Send dad to Flamin’ Hot heaven.

A box of meat jerky sticks.

Chipotle beef and pork sticks

$38.90 on Amazon
Take dad to flavor town, and give them the protein they crave. Different flavors have different prices.

A box of trail mix.

Trail mix variety pack

$28.83 on Amazon
What snack says ‘road trip’ better than trail mix? Pretty much nothing does. Especially if you’re a vegetarian.


Keeper of the flames

If there’s not a fire, are you really even camping?

A wooden box with a Grand Canyon scene on the side.

Fire starter sticks

$74.99 on Amazon
Treat dad to a souvenir wooden box of fire starter sticks. Choose from five different National Park scenes.

Metal tools with wooden handles for tending to a campfire.

Fire poker and tongs

$72.99 on Amazon
These handy tools help keep the fire going. The wooden handles look classy and don’t get hot. Bonus.

Plastic box for storing graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars to make s'mores.

Hershey s'mores caddy

$28.50 on Amazon
For the dad who takes their s’mores seriously. Here’s hoping they share!

Or, for the dad whose camper van is too full for even the teeniest gift, try a donation to the National Park Foundation or a reservation at their favorite campground.

For the dad who insists you spend $0, give them 20 minutes to nap in a messy van, undisturbed.

Man napping in a messy camper van.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and to anyone serving as a father figure. Your love, devotion, guidance and hard work make us stronger, every day.
