10 Best Camping Mugs For The Great Outdoors

One thing that sucks about being out in the wilderness: you don’t bring all the stuff you’re used to back in the city. That includes measuring cups. Your new titanium camping mug comes with marking embedded inside, so you’ll get to have a bit of uniformity to whatever it is you’re cooking up, especially if it calls for a certain amount of hot water and you can’t eyeball it. This mug weighs three ounces, and—as is necessary with all camping mugs—the handle comes attached to a hinge to avoid heat conduction. Dishwasher safe and eco-friendly; what more could you want?

Coleman gets their nose in every single part of the great outdoors, and it’s no exception in this case. This mug is lightweight, and packs the perfect amount of portability. 12 ounces is more than enough to get the job done, whether it’s using your camping coffee maker or heating water for instant oatmeal. You won’t be putting this one over the fire, but it will hold all the heat of your beverage, and keep chilled ones nice and icy. Dishwasher safe and a breeze to get clean, you’ll be able to use this for your morning brew, or pack it for the trail.

Hitting the trail with the missus? You’ll be able to enjoy coffee early in the morning with a matching set of stainless steel mugs, storing over 13oz of liquid each. Is she picky? One mug says Yellow while the other says Brown; this set of two comes BPA free, and is the clear choice when storing hot or cold drinks. You could throw one of these against a brick wall again and again, and you’re good to go, unlike traditional porcelain mugs.

GSI has been making excellent products for the outdoorsman for decades, and their innovation finds its way into the form of a camping mug. With a collapsible handle for easy storage, and a cozy cover to keep it insulated and warm, you’ll dually be keeping critters out (also thanks to the slip-sip lid). This model’s size is perfect for slipping into the mesh netting of your backpack on your initial hike inland.

We don’t have the convenience of a microwave out there in the woods—having an insulated mug to ease your way into roughing it out is a necessity. Fill up the coffee cup at a drive-thru on your way to the campsite, and have something warm to sup all the way to the stomping ground. This mug comes equipped with a thick plastic lid to keep the heat (or cold) in, and a link-chain handle that easily clips onto your backpack (or belt loop, but we recommend that you keep it empty if that’s the case).

You don’t get any stronger than titanium. It doesn’t absorb chemicals or food tastes—the obvious choice for a camping mug, where you may have old coffee resting in it for days on days end. A simple wash gets it all away. This mug comes with a mesh storage sack, and weighs a whopping four ounces. You’ll barely notice that it’s dangling from your backpack, or nestled neatly inside of your suitcase. This is the perfect solution to Earth-conscious traveling businessmen; don’t use the hotel paper and Styrofoam (you don’t want all those chemicals and dyes leaking into your hot beverages anyway).

Portability at it’s finest—we’ve all been waiting for something like this, and in recent years, we’ve seen many products that are total collapsible. The AvaLeisure travel cup is perfect for those of us who are constantly up in the air or between hotels; the travelers. When we hike into the woods, who wants to have a different designated cup? Store this easily by compressing it into a little disc, and be on your merry way into the untamed woodlands.

Made with medical grade stainless steel, you’ll be able to keep your drinks hot or cold for extended periods of time. Enjoy 12oz of your preferred beverage (we’re not saying you should pack a cooler and some Jack, but we’re not saying not to, either), rinse it off in a stream, or even wait until you get home; the stainless steel body is extremely easy to clean to a sanitized state. BPA-free with a press-on lid—you’re good to go into whatever camping environment you’re planning on.

Why not spin a camping theme on your camping mug? Wild and Wolf’s Gentleman mug is going to give you that Sunday morning on the porch feeling, and the durability of rolled stainless steel, plus an enamel coating. This is just a great mug to enjoy any beverage in on a chilly morning, just glaring out into the wilderness with your ultradurable mug in your grasp.

Complete with all the conveniences that a camping mug should have, this 8oz capacity stainless steel camping mug is able to clip onto your backpack and come along for the ride. Keep your hots hot, your colds cold, and enjoy a quick drink on the go. Instead of stopping hallway through your hike in to sip from a plastic water bottle, pull out your metal camping mug to get a sip of icy cold water.
