Outdoor cooking is a ton of fun, but it's not always easy to prep your meal on coolers, picnic tables, and car tailgates. Enter the Coleman deluxe Camp Kitchen, a complete outdoor food preparation center that fits inside a compact carrying case.

The Camp Kitchen includes a removable dish tub for post-meal cleanup.

The Camp Kitchen is outfitted with a rust-resistant aluminum frame made using heavy-duty channel-extruded aluminum for added strength. More important than the construction, however, is the functionality. The kitchen's main body includes a moisture-resistant MDF tabletop food prep area with plenty of space for chopping onions and shaping hamburger patties. To the side is a wire-grid extender shelf that easily holds most Coleman and other brands of camping stoves at countertop level. No more cooking on the ground or an unstable stump.

It's the extras that really make the Camp Kitchen go. The unit offers a handy bottom shelf for storing items like pots, dishware, and bread, along with chrome-plated wire hooks and a spice rack/shelves along the back for mugs, spatulas, and condiments. The Camp Kitchen even includes a removable tub for washing your dishes and a produce bin. And when you're ready to head home, the Camp Kitchen folds up into an easy-to-carry suitcase-style frame that fits easily in most car trunks. Other details include stable leg braces for added support, plastic guards to protect the corners, a lantern hook, a paper-towel holder, and a hand-towel holder.

The Camp Kitchen measures 74.5 by 64 by 20 inches (W x H x D) when open and 39.5 by 7 by 20 inches when closed and weighs 24.2 pounds.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.

In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as useful as I had hoped or as compact November 6, 2010

By Suzanne A. Coffman

While it was very easy to assemble (my 11-yr old did it) I was disappointed that the folded-up Camp Kitchen is not as compact as I had hoped--because of the sink. The sink did come in handy while camping, though. Great place to wash dishes. The other big disappointment was the paper towel holder. The reason I chose this product was because it had a paper towel holder--but the suction cups that hold it on simply do not do the job. I think the record for the amount of time they held was maybe 3-4 hours.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very shoddy workmanship from China March 21, 2012

By nathan

When I received my Camp Kitchen from Amazon, I went ahead and assembled it in the living room because we aren't going camping until June and I wanted to make sure that it was all there and in good condition. I'm glad I did. The side table was missing a piece and the table that is supposed to attach to the main frame was not able to be attached because of a manufacturing defect. The metal prongs that attach the side table to the main table legs were misshapen and could not reach.

Instead of contacting Amazon, I contacted Coleman, hoping they could send me a new side table assembly. Instead, after asking me to submit pictures of the damage/defect, they sent me an entire new unit.

I just can't say enough about Coleman's customer service. They were very pleasant to deal with and sending me an entire new unit when all I was asking for was a new part? Well, that rarely happens.

The second unit arrived within a few days and taking no chances, I went ahead and set it up. The new unit had the same problems! Bent, misshapen side table that could not attach, and a missing cap that holds the leg hinge on. Instead of trying for a third time to get it right when obviously, this is the norm for this product, we have decided to go ahead and fix it ourselves. My husband thinks he can bend the metal grid into shape so that it stays connected and I'm sure we can pick up a piece from the hardware store to repair the hinge. It won't look pretty, but it will work.

Looks like Coleman will put their name on anything with not much Quality Assurance. I have trusted the name in the past, but after having our tent shred last year, buying a Coleman screen tent that ripped the first time we set it up due to poor workmanship, and now this, I doubt I will be buying anything from Coleman in the future.

I'm not crazy about people leaving reviews before they've used a product, but in this case, I felt it was appropriate. I will update the review once we are able to use the product.

UPDATE
After taking the camp kitchen on a camping trip, I have to say that I love it. It was very handy and made cooking a breeze. The spice rack, the utensil hooks, the wash tub and the cleanable countertop made camp cooking fun. Having the stand for the camp stove and the shelf for the dishes was great. It makes all the difference not to have to use a picnic table to prepare food on. It was a bit heavy to move around but set up and take down was easy. I'm glad I purchased it and decided to just keep it and fix it ourselves instead of return it due to the poor manufacturing quality. I even got the towel holder to stay up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for car camping. August 4, 2010

By Terrell

As long as you don't expect to slaughter a cow on this thing you should be very happy with it. Folds up nice & compact and it's really fairly sturdy. You could use it to hold a 5 gallon water jug but over time I could see it bending under the weight. It's perfect for prep, cooking and cleanup. Very happy with mine.
