35 Genius Camping Organization Tips You Absolutely Need

I’m beyond excited because we’re about to take our first-ever fall camping trip!

My kids are obsessed with camping; they love the whole adventure of it, from setting up tents to eating camping tacos and roasting marshmallows.

We’ve always gone in the summer, when it’s all about sunshine and swimsuits, but this year, we’re switching gears and trying out camping in the fall.

I’m already imagining the cool, crisp air, snuggling up in blankets, and cozy nights by the fire. It’s a totally different vibe, and I can’t wait to experience it with them.

But here’s the thing: before we can head out, I’ve realized our camper needs some serious organization.

After our last trip, it’s looking pretty wild in there—like, where did all this random stuff even come from? 😂

Between the kids’ gear, camping essentials, and just stuff we didn’t really need, it’s time to streamline and get everything in order for this fall adventure.

So, I’ve been on a mission to figure out the best ways to organize our camper so we can make this trip stress-free and actually enjoy the fall camping vibes to the fullest.

Let me share the tips that are absolutely going to save us!

Camping Set Up Ideas

If you’re gearing up for a camping trip and need to make the setup as easy as possible, I’ve got you covered.

You will probably deal with a cramped camper or just want to stay organized, but either way these camping setup ideas are absolute winners for me.

From clever storage hacks to maximizing your space, these tips will have you set for any adventure!

1. Collapsible Storage Bins

Okay, real talk—campers don’t have endless space.

That’s why collapsible storage bins are a lifesaver.

I love that they’re easy to store when not in use and keep everything from looking like a total mess, especially when we’re dealing with all the kids’ stuff.

2. Hooks Everywhere, Seriously

If you’re not using hooks, what are you even doing?

Hooks are so underrated and perfect for hanging jackets, towels, and even kitchen stuff.

We put them all over the camper to keep things off the floor—trust me, more floor space = fewer tripping accidents.

3. Peel and Stick Storage Bins for Every Room

Peel and stick storage bins are seriously a camping must-have.

We’ve stuck them in the kitchen, bathroom, and even the bedroom area to keep things like utensils, toiletries, and small gadgets organized.

No drilling required, and they hold up surprisingly well—total space savers that keep everything in its place!

4. Clear Containers for Snack Goals

Ever gone camping and couldn’t find the snacks?

Total nightmare.

Clear containers are perfect for storing food because you can see what’s inside without having to dig through a million things. Plus, they keep everything from spilling all over the camper.

5. Over the Door Organizer

Let’s be real—the camper bathroom can get crowded fast.

An over-the-door organizer is perfect for holding things like toiletries, towels, and even hair tools.

We hung one on the bathroom door, and it instantly gave us more space without taking up any extra room. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference!

6. Shoe Organizers, But Make Them Cool

You know those hanging shoe organizers?

Turns out they’re perfect for storing random camping stuff like bug spray, flashlights, and sunscreen.

We hung one on the back of a door, and now all our essentials are in one spot, ready for action.

7. Laundry System = Sanity Saver

No one talks about how fast dirty clothes pile up when camping.

We started using a laundry basket dresser, and it’s been a total game-changer. Now we can easily haul it to the laundromat (or just home) without having clothes everywhere.

8. Kitchen Storage is Here

Tiny camper kitchen? Same.

Use as much vertical space and make cooking easier because everything is there. Some examples are:

9. Functional Furniture

Functional furniture is a MUST when it comes to maximizing space in your camper.

We added a couple of ottomans with hidden storage, and they’ve been perfect for stashing blankets, shoes, and even some extra camping gear.

Not only do they keep things out of sight, but they also double as extra seating—so practical and cozy!

10. Set Up a Quick Clean-Up Station

With kids, dirt happens. Fast. We set up a cleaning station right by the camper door with wipes, sanitizer, and a broom.

Now it’s super easy to keep things somewhat clean, and we don’t drag mud inside every five minutes.

Camping Storage Tips

If your camper’s feeling a little too crowded, these camping storage tips are gonna be a total winner for you.

Whether it’s keeping your kitchen organized or finding sneaky spots to stash gear, I’ve got the best hacks to keep things tidy and stress-free. Trust me, after this, you’ll have all the space you need for your next adventure!

11. Towel Rack Storage Holder

You know that tiny RV bathroom where space is basically non-existent?

A towel storage rack on the wall is the perfect solution.

We installed one in ours, and it’s been amazing for keeping towels off the floor and organized. Plus, it frees up valuable counter space, so you’re not juggling towels while trying to brush your teeth. It’s one of those simple upgrades that makes a huge difference!

12. Camper Closet Storage

Camper closets are notorious for being tiny.

That’s why stackable bins are such a game-changer. I started using them in our closet, and now we can fit way more clothes and gear without everything turning into a mess.

Plus, they’re super easy to move around, so you can switch things up depending on what you need to store.

13. Toothbrush Storage Holders

A toothbrush storage holder is a simple but genius way to keep things tidy.

We mounted ours on the wall, and it’s been perfect for keeping our toothbrushes clean and off the counter. Plus, it frees up sink space, which is so important when the bathroom is tiny. It’s a small upgrade that makes everything feel way more organized!

14. Store Shampoo Hack

If you’re tired of shampoo bottles rolling around everywhere, this hack is for you.

We started hanging our shampoo and conditioner bottles with clips, and it’s a total space-saver. Just clip them to the shower rod or a hook, and boom—no more clutter on the shower floor.

It’s such a simple solution, but it keeps everything super organized and easy to grab. Plus, it frees up extra room for all your other bathroom essentials!

15. Table Storage Hack

How cool is this camper storage hack? An eating table can easily do double duty by adding hidden storage underneath.

With a lift-top feature, you can store extra blankets, board games, or camping gear right inside the table itself. It’s a clever way to maximize space without cluttering the camper.

Not only does it keep everything neatly tucked away, but it also ensures your camper stays organized and functional. Perfect for small spaces where every inch counts!

16. Behind Door Storage

Maximizing space in a camper means using every nook and cranny, and behind-the-door storage bins are a total game-changer.

These bins are perfect for storing small items like cleaning supplies, toiletries, or even snacks. Just hang them on the back of any door, and suddenly, you’ve got extra storage without taking up floor space.

It’s such a simple, effective way to keep everything organized and within reach. Ideal for campers where space is limited but storage needs are high!

17. Under Cabinet Storage

Tension rods are a sneaky yet genius way to add storage in a camper.

By placing a couple of tension rods under the cabinet, you can easily hang paper towels and garbage bags, keeping them off the counters and out of sight. It’s a super practical solution for saving space and keeping things organized.

Plus, everything is right where you need it without taking up valuable shelf or drawer space!

18. Easy Storage in Unlikely Ways

PVC pipes can be a clever and affordable way to create extra storage in your camper.

By attaching PVC pipes above doors, you can create a handy spot to store items like toilet paper, paper towels, or even small lightweight items. It’s a brilliant way to make use of unused space without cluttering up cabinets or counters.

This DIY hack keeps essentials within easy reach while helping to free up room in your camper!

19. Collapsible Dish Rack

A collapsible dish rack is a total space-saver for any camper kitchen.

When it’s not in use, you can fold it down and easily store it away, freeing up valuable counter space.

It’s perfect for washing dishes without having a bulky rack taking up room 24/7.

20. Cargo Nets for Quick Storage in Your Camper

Who would’ve thought to use cargo nets for storage?

Cargo nets are an awesome way to add vertical storage in your camper.

By attaching them to the walls, you can store lightweight items like blankets, books, or even kids’ toys without taking up any floor space. They’re flexible, easy to install, and keep everything in place while you’re on the move.

This hack helps maximize storage while keeping your camper tidy and organized, especially in those small, hard-to-reach areas!
