Propane & Camping: Your Ultimate Guide to Outdoor Comfort

There’s nothing like a weekend under the stars, especially when propane makes it that much easier.

Whether you're camping at a provincial park, spending the weekend at your off-grid cabin, or parking your RV lakeside, propane is your go-to energy for cooking, heating, and lighting in the great outdoors.

At Budget Propane, we supply more than homes and cottages, we’re proud to fuel summer adventures across Central Ontario. Here’s how propane makes camping more convenient, comfortable, and safe.

Why Choose Propane for Camping?

Portable. Reliable. Efficient.
Propane is one of the most versatile fuels for outdoor living. With portable propane cylinders, you can power everything from cookstoves and lanterns to portable showers and tent heaters, without needing electricity.

5 Ways Propane Enhances Your Camping Trip

1. Camp Cooking Made Easy

Forget struggling with wet firewood or soggy kindling, propane camp stoves and grills ignite instantly, allowing you to cook full meals outdoors with ease. From morning bacon and eggs to evening burgers, propane makes campsite cooking quick and reliable.

2. Keep Warm on Cool Nights

Ontario nights can get chilly, even in summer. Portable propane tent heaters or RV furnaces are perfect for staying cozy in your tent or trailer, especially during spring and fall camping.

3. Light Up the Night

Propane-powered lanterns provide strong, consistent light, great for when you’re setting up after dark or enjoying late-night card games. They’re also more reliable than battery-powered lights and less messy than candles or kerosene.

4. Enjoy Hot Showers, Even Off the Grid

Yes, you can shower while camping! With a propane-powered portable water heater, you can enjoy a warm rinse anywhere. It’s a game-changer for backcountry campsites and weekend getaways.

5. Perfect for RV Living

RVs use propane for a wide range of functions: heating, refrigeration, hot water, and cooking. Whether you're taking a short road trip or camping long-term, propane helps power your RV’s essentials efficiently and safely.

Propane Safety Tips for Campers

• Always store propane cylinders upright and away from heat sources.
• Check for leaks using soapy water on the valve area, never use an open flame.
• Turn off valves when not in use and store cylinders outdoors.
• Use only approved appliances and follow manufacturer instructions.
