Top 6 Campground Kitchens (2021): Portable Propane Gas Kitchens

If you are something like us, you’re doing some outside time now. Where I live, summer is too hot for camping, which means Labor Day is the start of the camping season.

If you’re planning to make another fall or tighten up on other trips before the cold arrives, make sure you have a good kitchen. Camping makes it rough, at least a little, but you don’t have to keep cookies and beans. In the average American apartment you could buy campground kitchens that could be more pleasant than the kitchen, even if the wealth of options available is overwhelming. Don’t sweat! We tested more than a dozen of the best portable propane gas stoves, and then narrowed the area down to cooking capacity, cleanliness, transportability, and strength.

There’s something on our list for all uses and budgets, whether you want a compact way to compact bacon and eggs for two people, or something sturdy for a escort troop of stew boilers you need.

Also, make sure you consult our guidebooks the best camping equipment, the best tents, portable grills, portable expressions, and shoes for mountain running.

Updated September 2021: We removed a kitchen that didn’t last in time, added two new kitchens, and updated the prices.
