Camping Kettles, Billies & Travel Kettles

Gear Up with Camp Kettles That Go the Distance

A good kettle makes all the difference on cool mornings at the campsite. Boil water for tea, coffee, or cooking with gear that’s built for the outdoors.

There’s nothing like a hot cuppa in the bush. If you’re waking up to crisp mountain air or brewing by the beach, a good kettle makes camp life that much better. Our range of camp kettles includes classic enamel pots, fold-down models to save space and whistling kettles that let you know when the water’s ready.

Made for the outdoors, these kettles are built tough for real Aussie trips. You’ll find designs that work over gas stoves, coals, or even plug into your 12V or 240V setup. So no matter how you camp, there’s a campfire kettle here that fits your gear, your group and your next adventure.

Kettles to Suit Every Setup

Planning a solo hike, a family getaway, or a weekend in the van? We stock a wide range of camping kettles to match different setups and camp cooking needs. From lightweight and compact options under 1L to 4L whistling kettles made for big brews, there’s something here for every campsite.

If you're packing light, go for aluminium or foldable kettles that tuck neatly into your cooking kit. Prefer a more traditional feel? Enamel and stainless steel models are durable and easy to use, with enough capacity to make drinks or heat water for meals. Whatever your preference, you'll find a kettle that fits your gear and keeps your outdoor routine simple.

Common questions about Camping Kettles

What size camping kettle should I get?

It depends on how many people you're boiling water for. A 1L kettle is great for solo trips. Go for 2L or more if you’re making drinks or heating water for a group. If space allows, a bigger kettle saves time.

Can I use any kettle over a campfire?

Not all kettles can handle direct flame. Look for cast iron or enamel-coated kettles that are made for traditional campfires. Avoid models with plastic or silicone parts when using open fire.

What’s the best kettle for saving space in a camper or tent setup?

A folding kettle or a compact aluminium model is ideal. These are light to carry and pack down small, making them a smart choice for backpackers or van life. Just check that it suits your stove or power setup.

What’s the difference between a billy and a kettle?

A camping billy is often simpler with a bail handle and no spout. It’s great for campfire cooking and for heating larger amounts of water or food. Kettles are usually quicker to boil and easier to pour.
