If your dad is a camping fanatic -- a longtime Boy Scout or a brand-new RV owner -- this is one of the best times for his hobby. Interest in camping has grown steadily in recent years, and the pandemic accelerated it. That means manufacturers and retailers are offering more and better products to interest campers.

Take a look at camping necessities and luxuries we’ve curated below. Father’s Day is a perfect time to add to dad’s camping gear.
