44 Best Camping Gifts For Women (2023 Gift Guide)

A sleeping bag is a must for any camping trip – especially those multi-day backpacking trips. When it comes to finding a warm but lightweight sleeping bag, anything with down is a good option. The only downside to down sleeping bags is that retain moisture, so I would be mindful of this when choosing. 

The Therm-a-rest -18 sleeping bag s super lightweight and the Nikwax Hydrophobic Down absorbs 90% less water and dries 3 times faster. This is a great option for the camper in your life who spends a lot of time in the alpine.

For backcountry campers and multi-dat trips, a good quality sleeping pad is a great item to gift the camper in your life. The Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus Sleeping Pad is a 3-season sleeping pad that is lightweight and easily packable. 

While a good sleeping pad is great for all kinds of trips, sometimes car camping calls for something a bit more comfortable. A Camping Cot is a great camping gift for women who have everything. I like to take advantage of the fact I am not hauling 30lbs up a mountain when car camping, it is all about comfort! 

For the camping girl in your life who likes spending time off-grid or in the backcountry, a Kula cloth is a must. This antimicrobial and reusable pee cloth is non-toxic and non-irritating making it the perfect camping gift for women who enjoy multi-day camping trips. 

These biodegradable Venture Wipes are easy to carry and are great for long and short camping trips. The Venture wipes are perfect for campsites where there is no running water or not natural water source, and as they are individually packaged you can take as many or as little as you may need without wasting any. Made with Aloe, Vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil these will ensure the camper in your life stays clean and feeling fresh.

A great stocking stuffer for women who camp, are these fire colour changing packets. While these are great for kids, adults get just as much fun out of them! I used these on my trip to Vancouver Island and sat by the fire watching the flames change colour. These are a super affordable gift to add to a stocking or gift basket.

If the camping girl in your life attracts mosquitos like I do, a portable mosquito repeller will be her best friend. Nothing ruins a camping trip more than an abundance of feisty mosquitos. While you can pack bug spray, constantly spraying it can get annoying and it’s not the greatest thing to be breathing in. The Thermacell portable mosquito repeller is small in size so it’s great for all kinds of camping trips. 

Camping is the perfect excuse for a glass (or bottle) of wine. The Huski Wine Cooler keeps wine chilled for up to 6 hours with no ice needed and fits most wine bottles. It is super easy to use straight from the shelf. All you need to do is grab for favourite chilled wine, pop it into the Huski Cooler and it’ll be cold for the next 6 hours. This gift is perfect for women who enjoy a glass of wine while camping. 

The Nite Ice Light Up flying Disk is a super fun and unique camping gift for women. It comes in a variety of colours or multi-colours and is a fun nighttime activity at the campsite.  

A Mosquito Head Net is definitely a unique gift for women who camp. This gift might look a bit odd or silly, but if the camper in your life attracts bugs, this is a life-saver. I would have done anything for one of these on my camping trip to Lake Lovely Water, it seems everyone else got the memo except me. If you have a camper in your life who attracts mosquitos (like me!) this is perfect for a stocking stuffer or to add to a gift basket.

Another unique camping gift for women are these Reusable Sandwich Bags. These are great for eco-conscious campers who want to eliminate sing-use plastics. This pack of 10 comes with different sized bags for keeping your snacks and food fresh on any camping trip. They are even freezer friendly so your camping snacks are ready to go for a last-minute trip. 

This nifty little item is multi-use product. The Biolite stuff sack diffuses light from a headlamp to create a camping lantern. It can be used to illuminate your tent, a light for cooking after dark and to store your headlamp and any cables.

This compact coffee press comes with everything you need to make a great cup of coffee. The Aeropress is perfect for any camping trip whether it be car camping or backpacking.

Backpacking meals are a great option for a stocking stuffer or gift basket addition. I tried a few brands but my personal favourite brand is Backpackers Pantry. The Backpacker Pantry Pad Thai is probably the best meal I’ve had in the backcountry. This makes for a great gift for women who enjoy multi-day camping trips off-grid. 

I think the Platypus Water Filter system is a really great item to gift any camper. This can be used just about anywhere on any camping trip. I used a friends and was instantly sold! Before using this water system, I would either boil water or use water purification tablets. The Platypus Filer System is super easy to use, you fill the dirty bag with water from a nearby source and hang it to a tree, in just a few minutes you’ll have clean filtered drinking water.

The carry case makes packing this item super easy, and you can just grab it at a moment’s notice with everything you need.

Thermals are a must for almost any outdoor adventure. While the daytime can be warm, temperatures can drop in the night. I love the Ice Breaker brand and have worn their thermals in -20. Made of 100% Merino wool, the Icebreaker 200 Oasis Leggings thermals are not only temperature regulating but hygienic too, so they’re great for any backpacking or multi-day trips. 

Merino wool is a campers best friend. Besides the thermals, Merino wool underwear is a great investment and perfect camping gift for women. Icebreaker Merino Wool Underwear is hygienic and wicks sweat so can be worn several nights in a row. This is a good clothing option for multi-day trips that involve hiking. 

As an avid camper, you can never have enough beanies in my opinion. This FURTALK knit beanie is fleece lined with a cute faux fur pompom on top. It is perfect for the cooler nighttime temperatures or cozying up in the tent after dark. 

A Neck Buff comes in handy for any outdoor adventure, not just camping. Neck Buffs are versatile so can be used for a variety of uses. If the camper in your life camps year-round, a Neck Buff can be a life-saver from the winter or alpine temperatures.

They come in some really cool designs and a stuff sack that lets you pack it down to save room. You could even try to squeeze this into your backpacking items if you have the room! 

Although a tent is cozy enough to sleep in, sometimes a hammock is a nice way to enjoy the daytime outside the tent. Hammocks can be set-up just about anywhere that there’s trees, so this is a good gift idea for car camping or backpacking. 

Nothing beats a cozy pair of camp shoes. The Teva ReEmber loafers are great for slipping on after a long day of activities. They provide comfy support for tired feet and are easy to slip on and off. Any woman who loves to camp will thank you for these!

A Camping Journal is the best way to store your memories and remember your camping trips through words. Most campsites have little to no signal, so a journal to write in is the perfect way to switch off from technology and enjoy the smaller moments.
