Camping mugs and cups for hiking and your outdoor kitchen

Camping mugs and cups

Camping mugs and cups are an essential part of your camping equipment, just like your sleeping bag, sleeping mat and camping stove. There is a huge selection of camping tableware on the market, so every hiker, trekker and camper can find their perfect cup.

Camping mugs come in different sizes, can be made of different materials, have various features, such as handles, lids, insulated walls, and are available in countless colours and designs. Some come in a set and can be stacked inside one another to save space. These are especially great for families and travelling in groups.

Plastic and stainless steel mugs

Just using the word plastic doesn't accurately describe the outdoor cups and mugs made of high-strength and almost unbreakable polycarbonate. They are particularly lightweight and available in a wide range of sizes and designs. Many campers opt for entire camping sets, including forks, spoons and sporks made of this durable plastic.

Alternatively, outdoor manufacturers such as Klean Kanteen and Tatonka make metal cups and mugs. Similar to camping pots, you can find aluminium, stainless steel or titanium cups and mugs. Titanium cups are extremely lightweight, but they do tend to be more expensive. As for aluminium cups, they're both lightweight and tough. Stainless steel cups are a few grams heavier, but very durable, more hygienic and easy to clean.

Insulated camping cups for hot and cold drinks

Insulated mugs are ideal for camping because they'll keep your hot drinks hot for as long as possible. You can choose between insulated plastic cups or double-walled stainless steel cups. Both provide very good insulation, just like an insulated water bottle. You can simply put the lid on to transport your liquids with ease and it also prevents dirt and insects from getting in.

When camping and hiking, you shouldn't fill up your mug with water from streams, rivers or lakes. Instead, you should treat these water sources with UV lamps, special filters or tablets to avoid infections.
