6. Smokeless Bonfire Fire Pit

7. Cooler With Wheels

A durable cooler that will keep refreshments and meals cold on your trip is a no-brainer. But, sometimes packing up a cooler and then lugging it around with you can be difficult and downright frustrating. YETI's cooler on wheels will help any glamper seamlessly cart around their food and beverages to wherever their campsite is located. Your snacks and brews will also keep cool all weekend- or week-long, thanks to YETI's unmatched insulation power.

Glamping doesn't mean you have to under-pack, if, of course, you bring along the right luggage. Over-packers will fall in love with this Patagonia duffle, which is known as a "black hole" since it can easily hold and organize a ton (and we mean a ton!) of stuff.
