Planning a car camping trip to the PNW but feeling overwhelmed by all the camping products out there? Where to find epic campgrounds? How to find nearby hikes?
There’s thousands of outdoor products/pages that can improve your car camping experience, but which do you ACTUALLY need and how do you know if they are tried and tested.
We recently stumbled across I Heart Pacific Northwest, a website dedicated to being your guide to the outdoors (especially helpful if you are planning a trip to the PNW).
Lisa (owner) is a seasoned backpacker & car camping enthusiast who shares a wide range of helpful information to get you off the couch and into the outdoors.
Here’s a few notable links we thought our readers would love to have on hand:
- Camping Gear
- Favorite Campground (PNW)
- Featured Hikes (PNW)
To our delight, we saw that the Hele Box was at the top of Lisa’s list of car camping products in her 2025 Honda CRV! Here’s a snippet:
“Instead of building my own bed platform like I did for my 2007 Honda CR-V, I purchased the Hele Box Solo. I wanted a platform that is easy to assemble and store, and it needed to be adjustable since the floor isn’t flat in the Sport Hybrid models of the CR-V.”
The article continues to share a list of products that Lisa uses to make her car camping set up nice and cozy during the winter months in the PNW.
If you are in the market for tried and tested gear or some much needed guidance planning a trip to the PNW, check out I Heart PNW.
One of the most rewarding experiences of starting Hele Outdoors is the ability to connect with awesome people like Lisa.
If you have a blog or website that features the Hele Box, please let us know so we can share your content across our community!
Happy camping :)
