Overview
The 13L Folding Camping Bucket is built for Australian adventurers who need maximum practicality in minimum space. Crafted from durable, food-grade Oxford cloth with a reinforced waterproof lining, it holds a full 13 litres (2.9 gallons) when open, yet collapses flat to just a few centimetres thick when not in use — slipping neatly into a gear bag, car boot, or caravan storage locker. A rigid base panel and sturdy carry handle keep it stable and easy to haul whether it's full of water, fish, produce, or camp gear.
Whether you're rinsing mud off your 4WD recovery gear on an outback track, setting up a camp wash station at a free campsite, bailing water from your tinnie on a fishing trip, or organising dry goods at the BBQ, this bucket handles it all without adding bulk to your load. It's an essential item for caravanners, campers, overlanders, and boat owners who know that versatile, compact kit is the difference between a smooth trip and a cluttered one. One bucket, a dozen uses — from fire safety to fruit washing to feed buckets for the camp horse.
Key Features
- 13-litre capacity with rigid base panel for stable, upright use when filled

- Reinforced carry handle supports a full load without flexing or slipping
- Multi-purpose design — water carrying, fishing, washing, storage, and BBQ/picnic use
Common questions
Does it stay upright when it is full?
On firm ground, yes — the rigid base panel does its job. On soft sand or loose gravel a full 13 litres is heavy enough to lean and tip, so fill it where it will sit or fill it half way and make two trips. Carry it by the handle, not the rim.
Can I put hot water in it?
Warm washing up water is fine. Straight off the boil is pushing it, and near a fire is a hard no — the Oxford cloth and its waterproof lining are fabric, not metal. Treat it as a wash basin and a carry bucket, and keep it away from coals and embers.
Why does mine smell?
Because it went back in the bag damp. Fabric buckets fold flat in seconds, which makes it far too easy to pack a wet one after the last wash of the trip. Rinse it, stand it open in the sun until the lining is dry, then fold it away.
