Welcome to Camping Crossroads

Camping Crossroads is the most splendiferous (it’s a word really it is) place on the net to get inspired about camping gear, campgrounds, hiking, and backpacking. We are just getting started with our camping gear reviews so stop by often for tent reviews, backpacking stoves, waterproof outdoor blankets, campground information and fun stuff related to the great outdoors.

When you need the right outdoor gear it’s a good idea to do your research, because there are hundreds if not thousands of possible products in each category.

The problem is doing your research is time consuming. That’s what we’re here for. To save you time by doing the research and product testing ahead of time for you. All you have to do is check out our gear guides and product reviews to find the right one for your outdoor needs.

Our mission at Camping Crossroads is simple: to create the world’s best outdoor gear reviews.

Sure there are plenty of top gear review sites, but we think you’ll find some great information at our humble little outdoor site too.

The best gear reviews are the ones that help you pick the right products for your specific needs, budget, and interests the first time without having to return products or worse have them fall apart on you while you are out in the wild.

Our best guides are our side-by-side comparative reviews

Here’s what you’ll get:
1. We select the top products in each category, or most interesting based on what’s new and hot in the moment.
3. We then test the products with thorough side-by-side comparisons to determine the best performance, ease of use, and reliability.
4. We explain what we like and don’t like about the products so you can see which one fits your needs.

Camping Crossroads is reader-supported. That means we don’t take “bribes” from brands hoping we’ll give them a good review. We put a lot of effort into our research and we take that role seriously.

When you click on links to buy products we earn money to support our efforts. But really we love outdoor gear so we mostly are doing this for fun and not to get rich (although it wouldn’t be so bad if we did would it?) So thank you in advance for supporting us here at Camping Crossroads.

Our experts have decades of experience enjoying the outdoors. We’ve travelled through all fifty states in search of the best camping, hiking, climbing, biking, backpacking, surfing, fishing, snowshoeing, skiing… well you get the picture – we love enjoying what nature has to offer. We hope you find some value in what we have to bring you.

Ultimately, our mission is to help you find the best product for your situation, and really to promote the fun and beauty of spending as much time outdoors as possible.

Thanks for stopping by Camping Crossroads – we’ll see you on the trails!
