The Best Camping Site is run by Brian Zmich from Destin, on the Florida Panhandle. Down here, camping gear and hurricane gear are mostly the same stuff: a stove, water, light, a way to keep the phone alive, and a cooler that holds ice for days.
So that's the angle. Every guide answers two questions: what do you need for the trip, and will it carry you through a week without power?
How we choose gear
- We recommend brands with a long track record and say who each pick is for.
- Every pick gets an honest downside.
- We don't copy star ratings or reviews from retailers, and we don't claim lab tests we didn't run.
- Safety numbers (water per person, days of supplies, generator and stove safety) come from Ready.gov, the Florida Division of Emergency Management, and the National Weather Service.
