I go on camping/glamping trips 2-3 times a year typically near the end of summer into late fall. Anyone know of any cool or unique gadgets to bring on trips? They're most car camping so I can physically afford to bring an assortment of things. Also, would like to keep it practical and maybe around 50$ per item. Anything after that can get pretty excessive.

the best camping gear I've ever bought is a hammock + tarp combo for sleeping. Not needing to set up a tent or worry about rain puddles soaking you from the bottom up has been a game changer during fall camps.

A small projector setup for movies could be pretty cool when thinking about car camping. We have a setup that fits in a backpack and there are a few battery pack ‘generators’ that can power it all.

Forehead lamps are a must. A nice battery with USB plug in and solar charging is convenient for keeping the electronics stocked up.

Make sure to bring swiss knifes
