Camping With a Generator: The Ultimate Experience

Nothing beats experiencing the outdoors. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of a noise-filled life is always something we value. Here at FIRMAN, we love to camp. We also love the convenience of having electricity readily available when we camp.

Why do I need to bring a generator with me for camping?

You may have wondered what it would be like to have electric power readily available when you’ve gone camping. When you’re out in the wilderness you realize how easy it is to take electricity for granted, but those days are long gone with the portability and variety of options that our generators offer to ensure you have the ultimate camping experience.

What can you power with a generator?

The answer is simple: Anything and everything that requires power.

Experience camping in a whole new way. Want to power your Van, Camper, or RV? Now you can do that, and much more! Brew a hot cup of coffee with your favorite coffee maker, charge your batteries, keep yourself cool or warm by turning on your AC unit, and make movie night under the stars possible with a movie projector.

The only limit is what you bring with you when you go camping. Explore the many possibilities that a power generator can bring to your next camping trip.

What Generator should I bring with me?

First, we must consider our electrical needs to ensure we bring the right generator with us. We’ve made a guide on our FIRMAN website to help you with just that.

Secondly, we must consider the decibel level the generator outputs. National Park Service states that machinery must not exceed a noise level of 60 decibels at a distance of 50 feet. All our featured generators comply with National Park Service standards of maximum decibels level allowed.

Below, we will highlight our favorite generators for camping because of their portability, versatility, and legendary reliability.
