Here’s the winning camping gear and accessories in our annual Editor’s Choice Awards for 2022
BEST CAMPING KITCHEN GEAR
WINNER
Campingaz Camp’Bistro 3
campingaz.com Price £32.99
They say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but they don’t say anything about not improving it. The Camp’Bistro stove certainly ain’t broke but it has undergone a significant makeover for 2022, which somehow makes this camping kit classic even better. It’s still perfect for single-pot cooking or simply boiling the kettle for a brew. And the basics are the same, too – compact size, piezo ignititon, powerful flame and its own carry case. The new version comes in a stylish black and has had a few upgrades designed to make it even safer to use. Every camper should have one.

This sleek tabletop-style gas grill gives you 360° access to its cooking surface while you sit around the table, making it the ultimate communal cooking experience. Versatility is key here, too, and it comes with a ribbed griddle, flat plancha and a pan support for stove cooking.
