Plus Size Camping Must Haves
No matter what kind of camping you’re into, I’ve got something for you in this roundup! Hikers, glampers, festival-goers, whatever the case may be. Outdoor and adventure-type vacations and outings can cause a lot of anxiety for plus size babes. Remember not to say “no” to fun opportunities because of your size! Just make sure that you’re prepared and set yourself up to be comfy. You can hike, swim, and sleep outside under the stars just like everyone else! There’s no size limit on nature.
1. Outdoor Clothing
Whether you’re looking for straight-up practical options or something cute to keep comfy in on your outdoor vacation. Girlfriend Collective has anything you might need! They even offer swimwear. I also highly recommend Athleta when it comes to activewear, especially when it comes to cold-weather options. You can totally keep cool, comfortable, and cute in these active sets.

2. Wide Width Hiking Shoes Plus Size Camping
“Experience out-of-the-box comfort in this ventilated hiker. With durable synthetic leather, a supportive footbed, and Merrell exclusive Vibram® TC5+ traction, all in a versatile package, you will realize why Merrell has sold over 28 million pairs.”
Wide-width hiking shoes can be hard to find! It’s always nice to have a classic bulky option and a sleeker sneaker-like option that’s waterproof. Merrell has some great options. They also have running sneakers for those who like to run off the beaten path.

3. King Size Double Blow Up Mattress
If you’re someone who brings blow-up mattresses on your tented adventures, opt for a king-sized style. I also highly recommend getting a “double” blow-up mattress. We’ve all had the experiences of waking up after a night spent on a blow-up bed and having it be completely deflated. It can also be very uncomfortable changing positions and having your body touch the ground through the bed. With a double-height mattress, you’re much better supported!
4. Chafe and Sweat Products Plus Size Camping
I can’t go through a whole post about sleeping outdoors and camping without giving you the holy grail of chafe and sweat products. Megababe is a plus size favorite for a reason. To make sure that you keep comfy on your adventure, pack the thigh rescue anti-friction stick. You can also snag the body dust for chafing and sweat and the green deo to keep your pits smelling fresh the whole trip.
5. Giant Camping Chair
“When we tell you that these Kingpin folding chairs are big, we mean it—at 31 in. wide x 38 in. deep x 66 in. tall, the Kingpin folding chair eats ordinary camp chairs for breakfast! The reinforced powder-coated steel frame and UV/water-resistant canvas construction can easily hold two adults (up to 600 lbs. total), but it still folds up to 8 1/2 in. wide x 8 1/2 in deep x 66 in. tall and stores in the included carrying bag. Six mesh cup holders and a removable 12-can cooler ensure that the King will never be caught looking for a beverage.”
Gone are the days of the flimsy wobbly camping chair with a tiny seat! This giant camping chair is so fun and oversized. It’s sure to keep you comfy and without question of whether or not you’ll fit. It comes complete with cup holders, too.
6. King Sized Sleeping Bag
“THIS SUPER SOFT, HUGE, WARM & COMFY SLEEPING BAG WILL LAST A LIFETIME – Economically and practically efficient with an impressive size of 87″ X 59,” this sleeping bag sleeps 2 adults with ample room and comfort. FOR COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS [32° Up] – Perfect for hiking, camping, traveling & more! No ripping due to cramped conditions and no shivering due to heat loss. The compact carry bag makes it very convenient to bring this sleeping bag on any adventure. You’ll wish you found this years ago. Comes with 2 travel pillows!”
I don’t know about you, but I’m never using a single-person sleeping bag again! You can get double sleeping bags up to the size of a king-sized bed. This sleeping bag still folds up nice and tight but ensures that you have enough room for a peaceful night’s sleep.
7. Clip on Fan Plus Size Camping
This clip-on battery-powered fan is perfect for hanging inside your tent to keep you cool while you sleep! One of the biggest apprehensions for anyone planning to sleep outside in a tent is that there is no air conditioning in the wild for the summer. This baby can help calm your nerves and keep you cool!
8. XL Hammock Plus Size Camping
“Whether you’re relaxing by the fire, sleeping under the stars, or just lounging around this summer, our camping hammock has everything you need to stay comfy and covered throughout the night for your next camping, hiking, or beach trip — even just lounging in your backyard & patio on a hammock stand!”
Make sure to choose the large version of this hammock when buying! It still folds up into this compact bag, comes in tons of color, and holds up to 500 pounds.
