Nothing beats a hot meal after a big day out, whether you’re at the beach, in the bush, or setting up camp by the lake. With the right cooking gear, your campsite can feel like a true outdoor kitchen, making everything from breakfast fry-ups to campfire dinners.

From portable stoves and cast iron pans to campfire grills, we’ve got all the essentials to whip up tasty meals anywhere you go. Each piece is designed for quick setup and easy clean-up, so you can focus on making memories and exploring more.

What Are the Best Camp Stoves?

The Dometic Cadac 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe is perfect if you want a compact, all-in-one setup for your outdoor cooking. It comes with two burners, a coffee stand, and ceramic-coated grill plates, making it easy to whip up anything from morning brews to hearty dinners.

If you’re after serious heat, the Companion 2 Burner High Output Wok Cooker is your go-to. This powerful stove is built to handle big pots and offers easy heat adjustments for everything from simmering to searing. It’s also perfect for caravan use, thanks to its low-pressure design and solid stainless steel build.

The Camp Chef Explorer 2 X 14" Stove is ideal for campers who want a full cooking setup. It packs two powerful burners, a three-sided windscreen, and detachable legs for easy packing. You can even add a griddle, BBQ box, or steam pot, turning it into your own portable kitchen no matter where you camp.

What are the essential camp cooking tools I need?

For any camping trip in Australia, having the right tools can make all the difference. Start with a good set of pots and pans that are easy to pack and clean. A sturdy stove or portable grill is a must if you want to enjoy a variety of camp food beyond just sausages and toasties. Don’t forget the usual cooking utensils.

Can I use my home cookware for camping, or should I invest in specialist gear?

You can use your home cookware, but specialist gear is often better for a camping trip. Regular pots and pans can be bulky and don’t hold up well over an open flame. Camp-specific cookware is made to be lightweight and packable, so it won’t take up much space. Investing in the right gear will elevate your camping experience and make cooking camp food easier wherever you are in Australia.
