Summary

2025 RV Atlas Spring Gear Guide: Camp Kitchen, RV Gear and Gadgets, Spring Camping Books 

Spring is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited to hitch up the RV and head to the campground. Each spring, we refresh our camping gear, discovering new products and revisiting old favorites to ensure we’re ready for the camping season ahead. This year, we've gathered some standout camp kitchen gear, must-have RV gadgets, and basic camping essentials--all personally tested by two-legged and four-legged members of our family.
Camp Kitchen Essentials
High Camp Flask – "The Parkside Flask"
Price: Flask $106 | Wool Case $16

This stylish and durable flask from High Camp Flask makes a perfect camping companion. We chose it in the beautiful cypress color. It holds an entire bottle of wine, keeping your beverage at the ideal temperature for 24 hours. Two magnetic tumblers are conveniently built into the top and bottom of the flask, adding functionality and class. Made from stainless steel, the build quality is exceptional. We especially love this flask for evening hikes and campfire gatherings, appreciating its perfect design.
Serrated Knives for Your Camp Kitchen


Opinel Number 12 Serrated Folding Knife: $30
Victorinox Swiss Classic Foldable Paring Knife: $24

These serrated knives are incredibly handy for camping food prep tasks like slicing bread, tomatoes, and lettuce—tasks that can be challenging with a standard chef’s knife. The Opinel has a lovely wood handle that makes it an excellent gift, while the Victorinox knife offers practical performance in a variety of colors. We find these knives particularly useful for preparing quick sandwiches and salads during our camping trips.
Blackstone Leggero Pizza Oven 


Prices: Walmart version $197 | BlackstoneProducts.com and Lowe’s version $299

Make delicious, wood-fired style pizzas right at your campsite. The Blackstone Pizza Oven Leggero heats its pizza stone up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit. Once heated, simply lower the temperature, launch your pizza, and cook it perfectly in minutes. Watching through the door ensures a flawless pizza every time. 

Omnia Beginner’s Baking Kit



Price: $116

This versatile baking kit includes DUO Molds, a muffin insert, baking rack, and bamboo serving trivet. Ideal for RV ovens or stovetop cooking, you can create muffins, pizzas, cakes, croissants, and more. It's a great starter kit for campers looking to expand their culinary repertoire. We love how easy it is to bake fresh muffins for breakfast in the RV.
Camping Gear and RV Gadgets
Hest Dog Bed


Price: Medium $199 | Large $249

The Hest Dog Bed is available in small, medium, and large sizes, featuring a durable bottom shell that resists dirt and moisture. This dog bed includes two-layer memory foam, staying cool while offering comfortable support for your furry friend. It rolls up easily with compression straps, making it convenient for transport and storage. Our dogs are comfy and cozy on this bed, and we appreciate how easy it was to keep clean.
Campygoods Personalized National Park Adventure Sherpa Blanket


Price: $64–$74

Cozy and customizable, this sherpa fleece blanket features vibrant national park graphics on one side and plush sherpa lining on the other. Personalize it with your family's name, making it a charming addition to your RV or a thoughtful gift. This blanket is perfect for cozy evenings around the fire, and is great as a go-to gift for camping friends.
Camco Rhino RV Sewer Hose Elbow with Drain Lock Adapter


Price: $29.99

This innovative RV sewer hose elbow connects securely to campground sewer hookups with a clever drain lock mechanism.
