I think in every Western there is a shot of guys sitting around a camp fire after a long day of riding/bulding a railroad/working a gold mine/robbing banks and trains/etc. In almost every shot, the guys are eating unidentifiable food off of blue tin plates. Well, you can't necessarily be in the movies, but you can have the plates.

This set consists of four plates, four bowls and four mugs. Each piece is very sturdy is enameled in that famous blue (or red) with white specks. Kind of like looking up at a clear night sky when you're out camping. The pieces are sized well and should hold up to a lot of use outdoors.

But here are the three reasons to get this set. First, the set is well made. You won't have to worry about sawing through your paper plate (and your leg), or your plastic plate flipping over. You won't have to worry about your hot coffee melting through the flimsy paper cup, or your half-eaten plastic bowl of cereal blowing away.

Second, hauling paper and plastic dinnerware to a campsite or a picnic site creates garbage. Garbage attracts pests and animals. Garbage stinks and creates litter. Garbage eventually has to be buried somewhere to rot, sometimes for hundreds or thousands of years. Or you could just use this set, wash it off and then use it again. Your call...

Third, it just looks cool. Plain and simple.

The bottom line is good value, good for the environment, good purchase for you!

This was a wonderful and sturdy set of dishes. Used it for 6 days of camping and enjoyed them every meal. Very strudy and wash up easily. Only issue was we chiped a mug when a metal handle fell on it. Need to be careful not to drop them on hard surfaces (metal, rock, etc) as they are porclein coated.

Still love the set.

These camp dishes from Coleman are exactly what you would expect. They are fairly lightweight, durable, and fantastic for camping. The price is more than half what the same type dishes cost at our local sporting goods stores.

I bought these because I didn't have any camping dishes and these recalled camping trips from when I was a child, with all the blue and white-flecked enamelware.

When I used the set for the first time I noticed that several pieces had spots where the enamel had chipped during shipping and at least one spot where a bubble had formed in the enamel or something, because a perfectly round spot with no enamel was found.

These problems were not enough for me to go through the hassle of returning them, but I'd have preferred they were not there.

This is a great set for camping. The bowls are generous, I even use them as mini mixing bowls when we camp. The set has service for four, but it really isn't too much for two or three people. Every piece is versatile enough for prep and serving as well as dining. And clean up is very easy. We store the set in the original box to keep it safe from the wear and tear of camping. All enamelware will chip if banged around. But it will last many, many years if stored well. This set seems to be at least as durable as a set I paid three times as much for. We have more than satisfied.

Love this stuff! It travels well packed on the mule or functions great in the kitchen for the grandchildren.

My husband was absolutely set on having blue enamel dishes for camping, and having grown up with them I couldn't refuse. This set was the only complete set I could find - everything else requires you to buy it piecemeal. We used the set over the summer and it has held up well. The only con about this set is that everything is a bit smaller than we'd like. I expect that this will last us for years to come.

The coleman dinner ware set work out great for us we had our Steaks on this cookware .

Packaged adequately for safe delivery with no damage. Attractive enamelware good for camping, picnics, "pioneer" or rustic table settings. Large surface area on plates, and bowls and cups are large enough for good-sized servings. Cleans easily. Repacks nicely in cardboard box for storage.

This is exactly what we need when going camping or when doing a musical of SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS set in pioneer days. Nothing we can damage or crush. Just the right item.
