10 Outdoor Patio Ideas for a Better Camping Experience

One of the first things an RV enthusiast does when the weather starts to warm up is hit the open road. Who could blame them? Not me! I’m right there with you. While you tend to spend the latter part of winter and the first part of spring getting the inside of your RV ready for your next adventure, it’s time to think about your patio once the weather hits those warmer temperatures.

A huge perk of the RV lifestyle is outdoor living, so your patio pulls double duty. It’s a way to enjoy your surroundings, sure, but it’s also a way to expand your living space to make the most of your time on the road. Check out these ten outdoor patio ideas for a better camping experience to help your next trip become your best trip.

Everything is evolving these days, and welcome mats are no exception. With the LED Illuminated Patio Mat, you’ll always be able to find your way back home – even in your home away from home.

To illuminate, simply plug it into an RV exterior 100-volt GFCI outlet. Leaving the patio light on just took on a whole new meaning.

If you’re worried about smelling like smoke the morning after an extended patio hangout, opt for The Peak Smokeless Patio Fire Pit. Designed with infused airflow that generates heat but with much less smoke and embers than other fire pits.

Outdoor living can be just as comfortable as indoor living if you choose the right pieces. Let me introduce you to the Club Chair, Ottoman, and Table Bundle that is the perfect trifecta of comfort, convenience, and style. The wide, padded club chair sits just like your favorite indoor chair except it’s specifically made for the outdoors while the ottoman provides an ideal spot to prop up your feet or doubles as extra seating. And the table? With three adjustable heights from 24 inches to 28 inches, it’s a versatile piece of furniture you’ll find yourself using over and over again.

Grill and Table Bundle

Every good patio hangout involves food. It’s not just my personal opinion, it’s a fact, I’m sure.

The combination of the BBQTek Portable Grill and the GCI Outdoor Slim-Fold Outdoor Cooking Station ensures everything you need to whip up a taste bud frenzy is within reach. Each side table of the cooking station has a 30-pound capacity, and the wire grate shelf provides easy-to-reach storage underneath. So, what time are we firing up the grill? I’ll clear my schedule.

Portable Picnic Table with Benches

Made of lightweight yet strong aluminum, this Portable Picnic Table with Benches is the first place you’ll find yourself after the food comes off the grill. When a campsite is without a picnic table, you’ll be glad you have this collapsible one stocked in the RV. The stain and moisture-resistant tabletop and bench surfaces stand up to outdoor use, meaning you and your family will spend hours around this table sharing meals, stories, and playing games. The best part? The benches fold to store inside the table that becomes a carrying case with a handle for quick, easy storage and transport.

Your patio will instantly become the place to be with this shelter overhead.

If you’re looking for a better camping experience this year, try upgrading your outdoor patio area with one or several of these options. Warning though, in a world full of outdoor enthusiasts, you might find yourself making several new friends before the season is over.
