The Best Camping Water Filter

Camping is a great family activity, and it's important to have a quality camping water filter for those outdoor excursions.

It takes a lot of planning to camp. You need the right supplies. First, you need to know which type of shelter you will utilize.

Will you use a tent for sleeping? Avid campers tend to buy either a travel trailer, a pop-up camper, an RV, or something in that realm.

Other necessary camping supplies may include:

• Sleeping bags and pillows
• Camping chairs
• Cooking supplies (stove, utensils, cookware)
• Flashlights or headlamps
• Waterproof matches or lighter
• First aid kit
• Pocket knife or multi-tool
• Portable water filter (like a Berkey)

It really depends on how you're camping (and for how long) to decide what supplies you will need.

Don't Forget the Best Camping Water Filter

No matter how you're planning to camp, clean-tasting drinking water is one of the most important necessities.

We recommend a Berkey water filter system as a camping companion for campground tap water, RV tank water, and stored water.

One great thing about Berkey systems is they are portable and easy to assemble and disassemble.

The filters can be stored while you're traveling to the campsite and then reassembled as you're setting up camp.

It's very easy and worth the effort.

Whether you're using an RV, a camper, or a tent, a Berkey will fit nicely in your campsite.

It is a convenient portable water filter for camping.

Another Benefit of Camping with Berkey

Berkey water filters are also beneficial because they're dependable and easy to use.

They are designed to reduce more than 200+ common tap-water contaminants, including chlorine, PFAS, and microplastics.

That makes them a helpful option for improving the taste and quality of campground tap water, RV tank water, and water you bring with you.

You may also use less bottled water while camping, which can save on trash and plastic waste.

Why Clean-Tasting Water Matters

Clean-tasting drinking water is important no matter where you are or what you're doing.

While you're camping, many families prefer not to rely only on campground taps or stored tank water as-is.

Campground water can vary in taste and quality from place to place. Having your own gravity-fed system gives you a consistent option at camp.

A Berkey is a convenient way to filter municipally treated tap water, campground tap water, and water stored in advance.

Other Great Camping Water Filter Accessories

In addition to a Berkey, there are other good companions for your camping water system.

Priming is an important step in ensuring that your Berkey will flow smoothly and quickly.

You definitely don't want to run out of filtered water while you're camping.

We recommend you pre-prime your Berkey filters before leaving for your camping trip.

But it's also helpful to take a primer with you on your trip.

A primer can make it easier to prime your Berkey elements while you're camping.

If you're planning to be at a location without a faucet nearby, you may want the Black Berkey Primer.

Another great Berkey product to have while camping is the Sport Berkey.

These portable bottles are convenient for hiking, canoeing, or any other camping activity where you wouldn't be close to your Berkey system.

Get one for each member of the family!

It's More Fun with the Right Water Filter

Camping is a lot of fun and can create many family memories.

As a kid, my family camped all the time. Sometimes we slept in tents.

For several years we owned a pop-up camper. We really felt like royalty then!

I remember waking up to the simple sounds of acorns falling, birds chirping, and the crackling of a morning fire made by my dad.

We played in the creek, took hikes, rode our bikes, and roasted marshmallows. Those are great memories for me.

One thing we didn't have was a quality camping water filter. I honestly don't even know how we managed our drinking water.

Today, a good gravity filter can make camping more convenient by giving your family better-tasting water from campground taps, RV tanks, or water stored in advance.

If you own a Berkey water filter, take it with you on camping trips. If you don't own a Berkey and love to camp, now is the time to look into a good system for your family.
