In fairness dads are pretty easy to buy for. We have put together a list of the best gifts for the RV dad, as well as some awesome hiking gifts for dad, and camping gifts for him that we think he’ll love. These practical rv gifts will make dad a happy camper this Christmas!
Waxing The RV
I know that Frank stresses over keeping the RV waxed all year long, some of the time we do it, and once in a while, we’ll pay to get it done.
There are usually mobile services that cater to campgrounds, The people in the RV park office should be able to help you get in touch with someone who can do the job. The man of the house will love you for hiring the job done.
However that is a big expense so a wash and wax would be a great camping gift for him! If he is going to do the job himself, let’s make sure he has the right stuff to do it well! This is the RV Wash Kit that Frank recommends. It is used in the aircraft world and holds up really well.
Wash Wax All
- Spray on Wipe off- easy and quick

Beer Kozie
Although women are not huge fans of getting kitchen gadgets for Christmas, men are the opposite. They love getting new tools to play around with. Some of the best camping gifts for him are RV accessories he needs for the RV.

RV Gift Ideas For the Outdoorsy Family (Best Experience Gifts)

Most families live this RV lifestyle because we want to get outdoors with our kids and enjoy all this country has to offer keyword. We have been lucky enough to visit several National Parks and we recommend buying an America The Beautiful National Park Pass as an RV gift. This is the best RV camping gift we could receive.

- No limit to visits.

Some Other Great Gifts For People With RVs
We love nothing more than dining out with our kids, ask the kids and they will tell you eating out is one of their favorite things to do. A restaurant gift card is a much appreciated gift for RV campers, buy a regular gift card and let them choose where they eat. Store gift cards or even generic gift cards also make excellent RV presents. It’s fun to go shopping with free money to spend.
My mom in Ireland sends the kids two Amazon gift cards every year and we have a blast picking out some cool gift ideas for kids. One of their favorite RV gifts from gran was a kids camping hammock.
One of the bests RV gifts we ever received was a day out for the whole family! Would your family enjoy a fun day out zip lining, or what about a trip to Disney or better yet laser tag or trying out an escape room experience? Check Groupon as they have some awesome discounts on fun activities like these. All of these ideas would make awesome gifts for any outdoorsy family.
We have a subscription to both Hulu and Netflix so we can keep up with our favorite tv shows as not all RV campgrounds have cable. Either of these would make awesome gifts for RV campers.

- Can be stored easily in a drawer or stood upright in a cupboard.
Good Gifts For RVers – Slow Cooker
I use my slow cooker at least 3 times per week and love it. It’s a huge time saver for me and the dishes I cook are amazing (if I do say so myself). Yes, it takes up storage space but I honestly couldn’t live without it. Here are some of my favorite crockpot meals to make. OUR TOP PICK
Slow Cooker
- Dump the food in, set your cooking timer and temperature and come back to a done meal!
- Easily cleaned if you use these liners
Cool Motohome Gifts – Instant Pot
These are extremely popular with RVers these days. They have a ton of uses and are about the same size as a crockpot. I don’t use one because they confuse the heck out of me but I know lots of RVers rave about them, so this would be a really popular RV Christmas gift for mom. OUR TOP PICK
Instant Pot
- Cooks fast and saves time.
- Lots of yummy recipes you can cook with minimal effort!
Small RV Gifts and Stocking Stuffers (Gifts for Hikers)
Here are some gift ideas for stocking stuffers for both RVers and hikers. These are adorable, cheap and take up no room but are perfect for the holidays.RV Camper Stocking Stuffers
We’ve been RVing for over three years and so, each Christmas we pick up a new ornament for the tree. This would be perfect for this Christmas and would make a great RV themed gift. OUR TOP PICK
RV Camper Christmas Ornaments
- Beautifully detailed Christmas Ornament.
- Makes the perfect Gift for family and friends.
Deck of Cards
A deck of cards is always a good gift for RVers. Regular cards, Uno, or other card games are a big hit. If you have kids then, like us you probably have to replace them once a year anyway. OUR TOP PICK
Deck of Cards
- We always keep a set of playing cards in our backpack as well as the truck and RV of course.
- Rainy days are the perfect time to sit down and enjoy a game of cards with the kids.
Water Balloons
Some of the classics from when we were kids are still classics today. Just recently, we got some water balloons for the kiddos at Walmart on a whim. They were these new style ones that fill up 30 balloons at a time. AWESOME! We ended up having a huge family water balloon fight one afternoon and it was a blast! This would be an awesome stocking stuffer and a great family gift idea for families who RV. OUR TOP PICK
Water Balloons
- Such a fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids.
- Too hot for you – grab one of these sets and get outside and have some fun!
First Aid Kit
Everyone needs at least one first aid kit to keep in your backpack, truck, and the RV. This kit would be one of the best RV gift ideas for people who hike. A portable first aid kit is a must-have RV accessory if you are planning to leave your rig.(lol). We keep a small one in the truck and we’ve used it umpteen times! OUR TOP PICK
First Aid Kit
- Easy to carry, small and lightweight, yet holds all the essential emergency supplies and survival tools.
- Small enough to keep in your truck or backpack.
- If you have kids, you need one of these, it’s been a lifesaver for us.
Rain Ponchos
These make awesome gift ideas for the whole family and they fit nicely in a stocking. They also take up almost no space in your backpack so make sure to stock some of these essential camping accessories. Nothing worse than getting soaked while hiking. OUR TOP PICK
Rain Poncho
- Each poncho is easy to carry with you wherever you go
- Love that it comes in a pack of 6 so we keep a couple in the RV and the rest in the truck for rainy days.

Wonderful. I’m looking for a gift for my mother, I still have not thought out. Luckly I found your post. My mother likes traveling with RV. Thanks for your post
So glad it helped Zelda. Stop back again as we will update with new exciting gifts for RV’ers.
Thank you
Unless you are planning on picking up every piece of a popped balloon, they are a source of litter and dangerous to wildlife. Not a good idea.
Of course you are correct Bill, responsible campers should always live by the “Leave No Trace” rule. We certainly do! That applies to all of the stuff we bring with us and use in the great outdoors. The ballons took about 5 minutes to pick up and since they are brightly colored, easy to spot! Thanks for the reminder.
