A high-quality cooler is a must for when you go camping. Imagine it: you spent most of the day hiking up the mountain to get to the campsite. Then you set up camp, which takes up what was remaining of your energy. After all that, all you want is to sit back and enjoy a nice drink. What will you do then if you didn't bring a cooler for camping? It shouldn't just be any cooler too! It has to be the best of the best like Coleman’s Xtreme 5 Cooler, YETI’s Roadie 24, and Igloo’s ECOCOOL 52!
Coleman Xtreme 5 Cooler
There's a reason why Coleman is the quintessential brand for coolers. Try as they might, other labels can't beat the quality Coleman brings to the table. And its new Xtreme 5 Cooler is a shining example! Coming in six different sizes, anyone can use this for camping. Solo campers can easily lug this pretty lightweight gear while in groups of friends or families can fit in as many drinks as can and place it inside
their tent. Luckily, it's quite a spacious cooler too. Even the smallest, 50 qts, can already hold quite a lot. Not bad, right?

Igloo ECOCOOL 52
Prominent cooler brand Igloo doesn't disappoint with its ECOCOOL 52. Though it looks big and heavy, it only weighs around ten pounds. With the side handles, you can easily carry this to your campsite and back. The ice inside won't melt either! ECOCOOL 52's best feature is its ice retention. You can put in cubes of ice on the first day and they'll practically look the same on the last day. This is what coolers for camping are all about, after all: how well ice can stay frozen inside. And it's safe to say that this Igloo cooler does the job right!

ROAM 45QT Rugged Cooler
At first glance, you'd think this 45QT Rugged Cooler was for the military, right? Well, that's just the look that ROAM was going for. Its ruggedness is perfect for when you're hiking up dangerous terrains just to reach the campsite. It's one thing for coolers for camping to keep their contents cold, but it's another to keep them safe when the path ahead becomes quite rough. Moreover, it even comes with a handy storage basket, removable cup holders, and internal dividers. If those aren't convenient, then what is? The only downside here is that it can get pretty heavy, especially when filled.

Imagine biking up to the campsite. You're already wearing a big backpack with all your stuff inside so your bike can no longer carry anything else. What, then, will you do with your cooler? Leave it? Definitely not! Your best bet is to attach it to your bike and let it roll along with you. Sounds impossible? Not really. It's a good thing tha there's RovR Products' RollR 45. Out of all the wheeled coolers for camping out there, this one is second to none. It can survive rugged paths, rough trails, and the like!

RTIC 52 Ultra-Light
Many would argue that RTIC's 52 Ultra-Light is the best cooler out on the market right now. Even though it only comes in one size, 52 qts, its popularity continues to rise. Why is that? What does it have that other coolers for camping don't? Firstly, at only $200.00, the price is not that bad. There are less expensive coolers out there, sure, but they don't exactly have the same quality as this one. RTIC's 52 Ultra-Light also boasts great ice retention. Even after a day or two under the hot sun, you won't find any melted ice inside.

YETI Roadie 24
And finally, there's YETI's Roadie 24 cooler! At only 23.6 qts, it's the smallest one on this list. You can say that this is more suited for glamping (like say, in the
Dubai desert) than standard camping in the great outdoors. But even if you use it for the latter, it will still be helpful. Compared to the other coolers for camping, YETI's Roadie 24 is undoubtedly the best at ice retention. It can even come to the point that you'll have to take ice cubs off the cooler to fit in more drinks. Pair that with how lightweight it is and you've got yourself a winner!
