Camping Mugs

If you’re going camping, it makes sense to bring a coffee mug that can withstand the elements. Mugs designed for camping tend to be durable, insulated, and easy to clean. Some also feature a lid that can prevent spills, making them a better choice for pouring hot drinks like coffee. Several of the camping mugs on our list feature lids that lock, and some are even dishwasher-safe.

Some of the best camping mugs are made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is hardy and lightweight. While some stainless steel mugs can impart a metallic taste, high-quality options don’t. You’ll find that most camping mugs that are made from stainless steel are double-walled and vacuum insulated, which makes them better for heat retention.

One of the best camping mugs is made from ceramic, which is more delicate than metal. This means it’s better suited for campers who don’t want to worry about dropping or breaking their mug. Ceramic mugs are also usually dishwasher-safe, making them easier to clean than other types of mugs.

Some camping mugs are collapsible, which helps conserve space in your backpack or bag. We recommend checking out the collapsible mug from TOAKS, which is heavy-duty but insanely lightweight at only 2.7 ounces. It can fit a cup-and-a-half of liquid and is designed to nest inside TOAKS pots for easy packing. It’s also a good choice for hiking and backpacking, as it can easily be tied to your bag.
