Not all grills are created equal, and some are made specifically for camping. Camping grills are obviously smaller than traditional versions, as they need to be portable. Even within the category of camping grills, there are all sorts of styles. Some camping grills come with stands, while others are meant to be used on tables. The best camping grills are the ones which heat your food the fastest and are the easiest to transport. Read on for more information on the best grills for camping.

Coleman Road Trip Classic Grill
The Coleman Road Trip Classic Grill, which retails for $193, is great for use while tailgating or on a camping trip. The portable grill has an authentic open-flame design, giving you a true barbeque taste. The grill comes with multiple removable surfaces, allowing you to use the grill as a griddle or stove. This makes the Coleman Road Trip Classic Grill one of the most versatile camping grills on the market.
Fast and easy to set up, the Coleman Road Trip Classic Grill has a push-button ignition, meaning you do not need to bring matches. The grill has two independently controlled burners, giving you the ability to cook two different items at once. The 285 square inch cooking surface is tremendous, and it is covered by a securely-locking lid. The grill comes with two detachable side tables and convenient hooks for utensils. Operating on a 16.4 ounce propane cylinder, the Coleman Road Trip Classic Grill can be upgraded to a larger tank if necessary. Overall, the grill is one of the best combinations of quality and affordability of any camping grill available today.
