How to Set Your Subaru Up for Camping

Interested in taking your Subaru camping? Taking your Subaru for a camping trip out past San Jose is a unique experience, thanks to the many customizations you can make to set your Subaru up for a great adventure. Take a look at our Subaru camping model guides below to see how your Morgan Hill daily driver can double as a rugged adventure vehicle!

Subaru Outback Camping Accessories

If you want to take a Subaru Outback camping, the standard symmetrical all-wheel drive is perfect for taking on tough terrain. Consider the following customizations for your Outback:

• You can add a rack or luggage container to the roof of your Outback. You can consult with our parts team to find the perfect one for your model.
• Boasting up to 75.7 cubic feet of cargo volume, the Outback can carry all of your gear. You can even stow a cooking stove and enough food and water for the whole trip. What’s more, you’ll have room for a tent if you decide not to sleep in the car.
• If you have a truly adventurous spirit, you can install a bed platform in your Subaru Outback. This will require a multi-piece platform that unfolds when the rear seats are folded down. From there, you can inflate your mattress on a solid platform.
• Thanks to the 3,500-pound towing capacity of the Outback, you can hitch up a small trailer for your next journey.

Subaru Forester Camping Accessories

The new Subaru Forester delivers cargo space similar to the Outback, making it another great choice for Subaru camping. Take a closer look at these Subaru Forester camping options:

• Some leading tent brands offer car-top tents that can sit atop the Forester. Makers like Tepui Tents, SmittyBilt, and Napier offer what you need.
• You can set up an awning to cover the back hatch, allowing you to keep the bugs away and enjoy the fresh air.
• If you’re taking on off-road areas, the Forester’s ground clearance is ideal for camping off the beaten path.
