Best Towels For Camping (I FINALLY Tested Some)<\/h2>\n

For years, I’ve hauled a weird combination of beach towels, pool towels, and “dog towels” (aka old towels) to campsites, beaches, and pool decks. Every year, beginning with our spring camping trip, I tell myself I’ll bring less stuff. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting with fewer bulky towels that take up far too much space and take days to dry. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then I pack them all anyway. Because you never know when you’ll need a dry towel, says the paranoid mom-camper in me. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And what if it’s rainy and camping towels can’t dry? Dirty wet towel smell sucks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few years ago, I started searching for the best towels for camping that actually feel good, too. It took awhile, but I’m happy to say I finally found some. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Problem:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Dragging pool towels and fluffy towels camping never works. (It also sucks taking big towels to the beach and pool!) What kind of towel will be comfortable but also thin and quick-drying? I decided to test a few popular brands out to see if a microfiber towel might work.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Solution:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The best towels for camping are definitely NOT the towels we use at home. The best camping towels are lightweight, quick-drying, and anti-microbial (so they don’t get smelly). After testing out the quick-drying microfiber towels for multiple trips to the beach, pool, and campsite, I found my new favorite best towels for camping! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Initially, I was only going to test the microfiber towels during a camping trip in June 2022. We took the towels and honestly, they were GREAT. <\/p>\n

Microfiber towels take up a fraction of the space, absorb water, quickly dry, and are easy to stash in your car or at the campsite. <\/p>\n

I was sold and ordered two more right away. <\/p>\n

But then I wondered:<\/p>\n

How would my best towels for camping do everywhere else? At the beach, on the boat, in Costa Rica for two weeks?!?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The biggest plus of switching to lightweight microfiber towels for camping and swimming is that they are SO EASY to shake out and dry. No dirt seems to stick on them because it just shakes off (worst case, when dry). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
