RV Outdoor Kitchen Brings Music Festival Campsites to Flavorful Life

Wakey wakey… Bacon’s grillin’ in Bertha’s outdoor kitchen.

When we started RVing to music festivals with our friends Barry and Jen, the smell of bacon frying in the morning outside their RV Bertha was enough to wake the tired masses and take the edge off any hangover. You can’t share that sweet, smoky aroma cooking bacon on a skillet in an RV’s indoor kitchen. It wafts wildly and most boldly when the pork’s being prepared outside – while allowing those inside to enjoy their slumber after a late night’s rage.

So, when we went looking for our own travel trailer, we sought that outdoor kitchen. Amazing how many sales reps said we couldn’t get an outdoor kitchen in a unit under 27 feet or so. We eventually found Cafe Nirvana in our Coachmen Freedom Express 249RBS.

As sites are often vastly different, we learn to adapt to different site layouts and features. We typically spend a few hours setting up for a fest; so much can be said for an early arrival. Forest camping is by far our fav; being stacked like a sardine in a parking lot our least. No matter where you end up laying your head at a fest, you can do much to create the right atmosphere to keep your #RoadtripMojo going!

Creating a Comfortable – Almost Too Inviting – Music Festival Campsite

Festival campsite with tapestries, a carpet, chairs, and a Kelty tarp

You know you’ve created a comfortable campsite when you find a stranger asleep in one of your hammocks at dawn. At least, we guess that’s a good sign. Whether chairs around the campfire, an outdoor carpet for a guest to lay out his bedroll, or hammocks hung between trees (regardless of whether stragglers catch Zs), camping culture calls for a welcoming encampment. What pieces are required to create a perfect campsite? We have a few suggestions below. We’ll dig into some product reviews down the road.
