Care products – Passionate campers know that you spend most of your time outdoors on a camping vacation.
Even if many are initially put off by the idea of doing without their usual hygiene, camping is becoming increasingly popular with young and old alike.
It’s no longer just about camping at the campsite with the bare essentials; instead, with the right travel care products in your luggage, you can make the most of your vacation in the great outdoors without neglecting your morning care routine.
However, you should have a few care products with you that are suitable for a camping trip and are both necessary, practical and space-saving.
Camping Ratgeber:
Cosmetics & care: compact & lightweight for on the go
Of course, space is somewhat limited when camping.
Whether you’re traveling with a camper, roof tent or folding caravan, you generally can’t take your entire bathroom cabinet with you.
You should therefore limit yourself to care products that are necessary for your usual care routine, but are still suitable for a vacation in the great outdoors.
These should be as light and compact as possible so that they are easy to store and don’t take up unnecessary storage space.
You should bear this in mind with travel care products:
- Compact and lightweight
- Fill small travel bottles yourself
- Fill with washing powder
- 2in1 products
- Lightweight travel towels

Outdoor accessories: tips for hygiene, household & co.
A shampoo and shower gel are essential for the morning shower.
Here you can possibly opt for 2-in-1 products to save space.
For towels, you should buy thin travel towels in advance.
These are easy to transport and take up very little space when rolled up.
They also dry in just a few minutes, so there are no unpleasant odors.
However, you may want to wash some of your clothes on the go, which is why you should always have some washing powder with you.
The same applies to dirty dishes and washing-up liquid.
You should also take a small roll-on deodorant with you.
This usually lasts longer than one for spraying, but is easier to stow away.
Always remember that you can always buy more care products in between if necessary!
Despite everything, the most important thing is definitely an emergency first aid kit.
Small accidents can always happen, especially on excursions in nature, so you should be prepared for anything.
Packing list: Practical items for camping
Shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant are essential for your usual care routine, but items such as sunscreen, mosquito repellent and wet wipes are also useful for a camping trip and guarantee your usual care routine – even on vacation in the great outdoors!
What you should have with you:
- 2in1 Shampoo & Shower Gel
- Thin travel towels
- Some washing powder
- Washing up liquid
- Rolldeo

Tip! Sanitary facilities in the motorhome
If you are traveling with a caravan, you will ideally already have an integrated camping toilet with you.
This is practical so that you don’t have to make any unnecessary stops on longer trips.
A camping shower is also useful.
This can be used almost anywhere and at any time and saves you having to queue or pay for communal showers.
