Costco finds… but make it RV-friendly. If you’ve ever wandered the Costco aisles and thought “that would be great for camping,” you’re not wrong. Some of the best RV accessories aren’t sold in camping stores — they’re sitting in bulk warehouses, waiting for you to notice them.
Here are some of our favorite Costco picks that save space, save money, and make life on the road (or at the campsite) way easier.
1. Collapsible Storage Containers
Space is premium in any RV. Costco regularly carries collapsible silicone containers and nesting food storage sets that take up almost no room when empty. Pack your leftovers, store snacks, and collapse everything flat when you’re done. Way better than a pile of mismatched Tupperware.
2. Kirkland Paper Towels and Trash Bags (in Bulk)
You will go through more paper towels camping than you think. Buying a Kirkland 12-pack before a trip saves multiple convenience store stops and keeps the camper stocked all weekend. Same goes for heavy-duty trash bags — campsite cleanup is a lot easier when you’re not hunting for a bag that won’t split.
3. Camp Chairs (Costco Seasonal)
Costco’s seasonal furniture section often has excellent padded camp chairs and folding chairs at great prices. Comfortable, sturdy, and priced well below what you’d pay at an outdoor specialty retailer. Grab a set while they’re out — they tend to sell through fast in spring.
4. Pre-Made Meals and Snack Variety Packs
One of the best parts of RV camping is having a kitchen. One of the best parts of Costco is the prepared food section. Grab a rotisserie chicken, some pre-cut fruit trays, a box of granola bars, and a variety pack of chips — and you’ve got three days of easy camp food without any planning.
5. Bug Spray and Sunscreen Multi-Packs
Both are essential for any outdoor trip and both are much cheaper per unit at Costco than at a campground store. The Deep Woods OFF! multi-pack and the Neutrogena sunscreen 3-packs are perennial favorites — stock up once and you’re covered for the whole season.
6. Portable Power Bank (Anker or Similar)
Costco frequently carries Anker or Belkin high-capacity power banks at competitive prices. Perfect for keeping phones charged at the campsite, especially useful if you’re using a site without electrical hookups or want to keep devices topped off during day hikes.
