Water canisters – A camping vacation is usually associated with nature excursions, hikes and sporting activities.
It is important to drink enough water, especially in warm temperatures, but also when camping in winter.
The first step is to take a suitable drinking bottle.
Nevertheless, you should have a water canister that you can store at the campsite when on vacation with a roof tent or tent trailer.
This can be used in a variety of ways and is therefore not only suitable for drinking water, but also for washing or cooking.

Camping Ratgeber:
Water supply on a camping vacation
Has the vacation season arrived and are you preparing for your camping trip?
Even if you’ve already packed the most important accessories, you should definitely think about other essential items that might not initially be on your packing list.
Right at the top: a water canister!
This will make your time on the campsite much easier and is not only suitable for drinking, but also for washing your hands, washing dishes and cooking, among other things.
A collapsible canister with a capacity of at least 10 to 20 liters is recommended for this.
It is therefore always a good idea to have a large canister with you in case there is no fresh water nearby or you are on the way to your next destination.
The advantages of a water canister:
- Fresh drinking water at all times
- Wash your hands on the go
- Washing dishes / food
- Suitable for cooking
- Various possible uses
Especially on adventurous excursions in nature, you should always remember to drink enough! 
Which canister? You should pay attention to this when buying
Ideally, the canister should have a sturdy handle so that you can lift and move it easily.
A foldable canister is particularly practical as it can be easily stowed away and transported when it is not full.
As a result, it hardly takes up any space in your caravan, car or camper and should definitely be taken along on your next camping trip for a carefree and relaxed time.
You should pay attention to this when choosing your water canister:
- Stable and robust material
- Foldable (easy to store and transport)
- At least one handle for carrying
- In the best case 10-15 liter capacity
Tip! Water canister with soap dispenser
Ideally, you should buy a water canister with an integrated soap dispenser.
This means you can not only use the water for drinking and cooking, but also wash your hands and dirty dishes at the same time.
We recommend the water canister from CAMPWERK, for example.
Not only is it versatile, it also has a capacity of 15 – 20 liters.
An absolute must-have that you should definitely take with you on your next vacation.
