Preparing for a campervan adventure is part of the fun! To make sure your journey is comfortable, safe, and unforgettable, we’ve put together a list of 10 must-pack items—whether you’re cruising through Nevada’s desert landscapes or chasing mountain views.
- Cozy Bedding
Even if your rental includes basics, bringing your own pillows, sheets, and a favorite blanket can make your van truly feel like home on wheels. - Compact First-Aid Kit
Adventure is awesome until a small scrape or headache slows you down. Be prepared with bandaids, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medications. - Reusable Water Bottles & Jugs
Stay hydrated—especially under the desert sun. Large refillable water jugs are perfect for campsites without hookups, and personal bottles are great for hikes. - Cooking Essentials
While our campervans include a kitchenette, don’t forget food storage containers, spices, oil, and your favorite coffee mug for those morning views. - Outdoor Gear
Pack foldable camping chairs and a portable table. There’s nothing like enjoying meals outside with nothing but nature around you. - Headlamp or Flashlight
Essential for late-night bathroom runs, reading, or fixing something in the dark. Hands-free headlamps are a game-changer. - Weather-Appropriate Clothing
Desert days can be hot and nights surprisingly cold. Think layers—lightweight shirts, a warm fleece, beanie, and a waterproof jacket just in case. - Offline Maps & Navigation Tools
Cell service can be spotty in remote areas. Download offline maps on your phone and consider carrying a paper map as a backup. - Portable Power Bank
Keep your phones, cameras, and devices charged on the go, especially when you’re off-grid and without electrical hookups. - Adventure Mindset!
Last but not least, bring your curiosity and flexibility. Some of the best memories come from unexpected detours and spontaneous stops.
Pro Tip:
Always check what’s already included in your campervan rental (like kitchen equipment and bedding) so you can avoid overpacking.
