About this room

The Campsite is for the person who sleeps outside on purpose: the camper, the hiker, the fisherman, the outdoors dad.

It is a lakeside camp under tall pines and pale birches. A stone fire ring burns in the middle with a log bench beside it. A green dome tent stands on the left next to a folding table with a stove and coffee pots. Two hammocks hang from wooden posts. Behind them a green canoe rests by the water, and a small dock runs out over the lake.

Start with how they camp. A backpacker counts every ounce and wants small, light gear. A car camper has room for a hard cooler and a cast-iron pie iron. Find out which one they are. Experienced campers also trust the gear they have, so don't try to replace it. Look for what makes the evening easier: better light, better coffee, a better seat by the fire. Those gifts work for almost everyone.

Fishing Rod

A rod and reel combo pairs a rod with a matching reel, so it is a natural first setup for a beginner or a child starting out. Experienced anglers have strong preferences and often build their own, so ask first. Find out where they fish. Lakes and coasts call for different gear, and rod length and strength change with the size of the fish. A shorter, lighter combo is easier for a young angler to cast and carry.

Camp Chair

Everyone at a campsite ends up in a chair, so this is gear they will use on every trip. Decide between light and comfortable. A low packable chair is for a hiker or someone short on space. A larger chair is for a car camper who sits by the fire for hours. Check the weight limit and the seat height, as a low chair is harder to get out of. A camp chair also works at ball games and on the beach.

Bug Net

Two small gifts that change a night outside. The headlamp keeps both hands free at camp, and every camper can use a spare. Look for one that recharges. The hammock bug net hangs over a hammock and keeps insects off the sleeper, so it only helps someone who already owns one. Check that it fits the length of their hammock. If you don't know how they camp, the headlamp is the safer of the two, and it works at home in a power outage.

How the room works

  1. 01

    Look around the room

    Every piece on the shelves is something worth giving. Open the room in 3D and move through it the way you would a shop, or read the bays below if you would rather scan.

  2. 02

    Pick something up

    Each product opens a short list of the specific things it could mean — a Dutch oven is a size and a colour, a watch is a strap and a face. That list is what the bay pages hold.

  3. 03

    Follow it to the retailer

    Every pick opens a pre-filled search on the retailer’s own site. Nothing is sold here, and no price or stock is shown here, because theirs is the only version that is accurate.
