Camping Accessories Can Make a Great Gift Idea for Father's Day

Father's Day is coming up fast, and will be here in less than two weeks. For some of us, trying to find the right gift for Dad can be a problem. Ties are always among the most common gift items, but there are other ideas out there. Camping accessories, for example, can make an ideal gift, especially for the type of father who loves to go RVing or spend time outdoors.

For something inexpensive and low key, Sportula's Premium Grill Spatulas are great for grilling at home as well as on the road. They are made to durable, featuring stainless steel construction with maple handles. The bottle opener on the other end will come in handy if your dad needs to open a beverage. You can choose from six different designs, including "Dad" or "#1 Grandpa" options.

Hiking poles are a great accessory for the active father who likes to take long treks outside. The Kelty Upland Hiking Poles are made to be more comfortable while in use, featuring an Anti-Shock Spring that helps when making a descent. They feature a collapsible design so storage during travel is made easier, and so height can adjusted for the person using it. They can be used on rough terrain, as well as concrete surfaces, due to the optional rubber tip that comes included. When used correctly, hiking poles will help take the tension and strain off of the back and knees.

The Picnic Time Buccaneer is an all-in-one idea that includes everything needed for a tailgate party. It comes with a charcoal grill and a cooler that has the capacity to hold up to 24 beverage cans. Grilling accessories such as a spatula, tongs and BBQ come with the set. The spatula has the added advantage of also having a serrated edge for slicing as well as a bottle opener. The Buccaneer has additional storage for blankets & towels, ice packs for the cooler, or other supplies.

Of course, gift cards are always an option when you are totally unsure of what to do, or wish to add-on to a gift that's already been bought. The Gift Ideas and Outdoor Living sections also include many other ideas for Father's Day gifts.
