The classic chuck wagon or camp kitchen has become a lot more sophisticated over the past few decades. Now campers can upgrade their own kitchen facilities to include these five elegant designs. Each of these kitchens are fully mobile and contain everything you need for outdoor cooking.
1. Camp Champ Mobile Kitchen
The beautiful Camp Champ Mobile Kitchen is made by hand in Austria from plywood used for building boats.
This elegant Camp Champ is fit for a yacht.
 
The design includes okoume plywood inlays and galvanized steel handles and corners. It pops open to display a large work and storage space, an integrated knife block and spice rack, cooking utensils and even a trash bag holder. Yep, no need for collapsible cooking utensils in this portable kitchen.
It also features a 2-burner stove and a paper towel holder. The Camp Champ comes with a rain cover and can also be folded up and used as a seat with a comfortable cushion.

It can also be purchased fully furnished with a 2-burner stove, a quality cookware set, side shelves, a set of legs and a large cutting board. The Field Kitchen protects your stove’s flame and food with a large wind block and the working surfaces are ergonomic and can be used while sitting down.
