Cool box – When camping, you spend most of your time outdoors in nature.
Sitting together around the campfire, enjoying the peace and quiet and drinking a cold drink or two are all part of the experience.
This alone makes it worth buying a cool box for your camping trip.
Whether in a roof tent, tent trailer or camper – you can easily take all the food and cooking ingredients with you that normally need to be refrigerated.
This means you don’t have to do without anything at the campsite and can enjoy a carefree but eventful and unforgettable time.

Cooler bag: cooling for several hours
For short trips to the lake, a picnic in the nearest pack or a relaxing day at the beach, a classic cool bag is the best choice.
All you need to do is equip the bag with a few cool packs to keep your things nice and cool for several hours.
An insulating inner layer also ensures that little cold is released to the outside, making the bag quite comfortable to carry.
At the end of your trip, the bag can easily be wiped clean and dry on the inside and outside and is ready for the next trip.
If you are still looking for a suitable cooler bag, then take a look at one of the cooler bags from CAMPWERK or browse through the cooling category to get even more ideas and tips for your next camping trip.
Advantages of a cooler bag
- Suitable for short trips
- Keeps food and drinks cool for several hours
- Insulating inner layer prevents cold from escaping
- Easy to clean / maintain
- Easy to transport and store
Cooling container: Robust, plenty of space & high cooling capacity
When camping, you are usually traveling by car or caravan and therefore have the opportunity to transport a slightly larger cooler.
It is definitely a more stable and robust option than a cooler bag and also offers a higher cooling capacity thanks to its very efficient insulation.
Nevertheless, it is easy to transport thanks to the carrying handle and offers plenty of space for the necessary food.
You should also place several cool packs inside to guarantee optimum cooling.
Advantages of a cooling container
- Stable variant
- Robust outer material
- High-performance insulation
- High cooling capacity
- Plenty of space and easy transportation
Electric cool box: For long-term cooling
If you are going on a longer camping vacation and there is electricity available at the campsite, it is worth investing in an electric cool box.
The box works like a small fridge and, once connected, keeps all the necessary food, drinks etc. cold throughout the day.
Such a cool box is available in different versions and is mainly used by experienced campers.
So if you are planning a longer camping trip and want to keep your food cool for a long time, then a cool box is definitely worthwhile, even if you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket to buy one.
We recommend, for example, the Kompressor Hybrid cool box with a capacity of 40 liters.
Advantages of an electrically powered cool box
- Long-term cooling of food and beverages
- Effective efficiency
- No cool packs necessary
