Haven't used it for camping but it is pretty heavy combo if you are going to be hiking and camping.

I actually would recommend the Lodge L8DD3 Double Dutch Oven and Casserole with Skillet Cover, 5-Quart for camping instead of this one. I own both. The reason I use this one more at home is because of the handles. Easy into the oven, easy out of the oven. The reason I would recommend the Double Dutch Oven for camping instead of this one is; because of the handles. Much easier to two-hand the other one. If you are going to REALLY go camping though, you will want one with a lipped lid so you can put charcoal on top and not have it slide off. This isn't a bad choice at all for camping; would just be my second choice for camping.

This is our "go-to" camping cookware, we use it for everything from Steaks, eggs, cornbread, chili & I even baked some Red Lobster Cheddar bay biscuits in an open fire with it! I usually just cook straight in the coals, shoveling some on top but I picked up a GSI Outdoors Wire Rack Support for $8 in case I need it - but usually I like having the flat bottom to utilize both skillets when not baking with it, or when I use it in the house oven. I only wish I could get an extra small skillet "lid" so I could bake and fry at the same time.

this was my first cast iron skillet- we used it while camping but I was very disappointed as it rusted after just one use- the paint chipped off and I haven't used it since- I read reviewes on it before I purchased it, some people had mentioned the problem but I figured since the reviews were from so long ago they must have made changes to the product by now, needles to say its in the box in the basement.

It depends on how you plan to use this for cooking. If you intend on making a stew or baking in the Dutch ovens, it will not work properly. The lid has no lip to contain the chacoal ash and the bottom has no legs to allow airflow around the coals. The leg issue can be overcome rather easily, but the other issue isomer difficult to overcome.

I use it camping i have a double thick air matress, I also use it to start the campfire it lasted me about 4 fills. If all you used it for was to fill a matress then I am sure you would get many more fills out of it

We use this stove for camping and it works great! WE love it! We did buy a wind screen but it was so short I didn't feel like it did much but I guess anything is better then nothing... I highly recommend the stove though!

I used it outside at sporting events. It has a protective grate on it, but stuff could still melt on it. I read others have used it in tents.

We have taken this tent camping a few times and absolutely love it! I have tried to pay attention to the size of campsites when reserving them, but so far it has not been an issue. On our last trip the small room that sticks out from the side (making the "L" shape in the tent) was on a bit of a down hill slope, but that did not affect the stability of the rest of the tent and didn't turn out to be a problem. So far we haven't encountered any problems, but the tent would be difficult to set up on a small space that is clearly marked out (e.g. with railroad ties or some other barriers).

I haven't tested it enough to answer. I have taken it camping a couple times. Haven't done any real woodcraft as it was very laid back. I will tell you that it keeps it edge fairly well and served at trimming saplings.

A guy I was camping with had the Coleman at home, but didn't have it with him. He said he liked mine better, and I gave him the link to buy one when we got back. Don't remember why he said he liked this one better. Mine rode on a motorcycle for 6000 miles and worked fine. I forgot it at one of our last campsites (always do a check before leaving :)) I ordered tow more when I returned home.

absolutly, I love it for dry camping. It doesn't keep coffee warm after its made but that doesnt affect me as i'm done before then.

I use this for my pop up shop and it is truly amazing. Get some camping tent seam sealer and take the time to seal the seams. It,s pretty light weight and you would need to weight it down to keep in from blowing away.

We use ours outdoors when camping. This is our second season using it. We always keep it out of the rain and sun.

I have taken it camping only twice now but have not had a problem with it folding on its own. You just need to be aware that it will fold if you put pressure on the top so always grab by the handle or under the rim.

We haven't used ours yet....but we took it out of the box and looked how it works and we know it will work for us on our camping trips. We are excited to use it this year!!!

It is not really designed for camping, just for some shade at the beach. The door is open and windows have screens that open for airflow. We have not wanted to zip door opening so not sure if it's possible. Great for shade at the beach!

I'm not sure. We've only used ours at home. Never taken it camping. At home it's been pretty durable but that's based on not taking it down much.
