The Best Camping Generators in Australia for 2022

The camping generator is a niche market that has been historically underdeveloped in Australia and is only just starting to gain momentum. The introduction of new models of generators, including the Tesla Motors Caffe and Innova Podium EV+, which are specifically designed for camping, is helping the market reach a new level of popularity. The introduction of eco-friendly and compact generators is also enticing more Australians to invest in the camping industry.

Today there are a few options for consumers to choose from, including the dual-fuel Honda MP-11 generator, which is now available with a 1.8 kW battery pack. The new Samsung POWERstacks are compact and extremely efficient, offering four different capacities, ranging from 600 watts up to 2.4 kW. The powerful Xtra-Batteries DCW-3000 is another option, which offers a compact design with the ability to charge up to 2.4 kW of power.

If you are in the market for a small portable generator for outdoor use, several models are a better choice than our 15 listed models. These models are not specifically designed for tailgating, camping, or tailgating, but they have the features and performance to power a tailgating or camping party if needed.

If you want more than one generator, keep in mind that you might have to buy an additional one when it’s time to recharge the first unit, so make sure to choose a generator that can be easily removed and transported. We recommend spending the extra money on a highly rated unit that won’t break your bank.
