About Camp Ink

Last updated:

Camp Ink is an online shop for people who camp with a rig and a routine. We sell original designs on cotton crew tees, fleece pullover hoodies, speckled ceramic camp mugs, one stainless steel tumbler, fleece camp blankets, garden flags and metal campsite signs. Five of those products can carry your own typed lines, so the tee, the mug, the blanket, the flag and the sign at your site can all say the same thing. Everything is made after you order it and ships from the USA.

This page explains how the shop is laid out, what makes it different, and what we will and will not do. No grand story. Just what you would want to know before buying from the neighbour two sites down.

A shop told in the order you set up camp

Anyone who has pulled into a site on a Friday knows the order of things. You back in. You level. You hook up. The awning goes out. The chairs go round the ring. And last of all, when everything else is done and somebody has finally stopped giving directions, the family sign goes out by the road. Camp Ink is organised in that same order, so finding your way round the shop feels like something you already know how to do.

Back in: Camp Crew Tees

Backing in is a team sport, and the team needs shirts. Camp Crew Tees holds six cotton crew tees: the Back-In Hand Signals Tee, the Level Enough Bubble Tee, the Full Hookups Pedestal Tee, the Quiet Hours Site Post Tee, the Camp Crew Roles Tee and the Family Site Name Tee. The Camp Crew Roles Tee lets everyone claim a job, Fire Boss, Back-In Spotter, Camp Cook or Marshmallow Chief, which settles at least one argument before it starts. Tees are $26.99, the Camp Crew Roles Tee is $27.99 and the Family Site Name Tee is $29.99.

Level: Picnic Table Mugs

Once the rig is level, the coffee can stay in the cup. Picnic Table Mugs has three speckled ceramic camp mugs, the First Coffee, the Percolator Morning and the Family Name mug, plus the Tow Day 30 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler for the drive. Mugs are $19.99, the Family Name mug is $22.99 and the tumbler is $36.99.

Hook up: garden flags

With power and water connected, the site starts to look lived in. That is when a garden flag goes into the ground by the steps. The Pull Up a Chair Garden Flag and the Family Site Name Garden Flag come in 12 x 18 in and 28 x 40 in. Flags start from $24.99, and the Family Site Name flag from $27.99.

Awning out: Fire Ring Layers

The awning goes out, the sun goes down and the temperature follows. Fire Ring Layers is three fleece pullover hoodies: the Chairs Round the Ring Hoodie, the Awning Lights Pullover Hoodie and the April to October Seasonals Hoodie. Each is $44.99.

Chairs round the ring: Camp Chair Blankets

The circle forms, and somebody always wishes they had brought a blanket. Camp Chair Blankets has three fleece designs, the Awning Stripe, the Campground Loop Map and the Family Site Name blanket, each in 40 x 50 in, 50 x 60 in and 60 x 80 in. Blankets start from $32.99, and the Family Site Name blanket from $36.99.

The sign goes out: Site Signs & Flags

The last step is the one that says you have arrived. Site Signs & Flags gathers the Family Campsite Metal Sign, the Not Lost, Wrong Loop Metal Camp Sign and both garden flags. Metal signs are $21.99 and the Family Campsite Metal Sign is $26.99.

Three ways to camp, three short lists

Not everyone camps the same way, and what suits a permanent site is wrong for a rig with one spare drawer. So the shop is also sorted by how you camp.

  • Weekenders. You are out Friday to Sunday and everything goes back in the rig on the way home. The picks here are things that set up fast and pack down fast: tees for the crew, a mug each, a small flag on a short stand.
  • Seasonal Site. You hold the same pad from about April to October, know the neighbours by first name and have opinions about opening weekend. This is where the metal sign, the larger flag, the big blanket for the deck couch and the April to October Seasonals Hoodie live.
  • Full-Timers. The rig is home and there is no spare cupboard. The list is short on purpose and favours things that pack flat: a flag, a tee, one mug each, one blanket.

A product can appear in more than one list. The lists are there to save you scrolling, not to tell you how to camp.

Name Your Site: one set of lines across five products

Name Your Site is the part of the shop people buy as gifts most often. Five products take the same typed lines:

  • Family Site Name Tee
  • Family Name Speckled Ceramic Camp Mug
  • Family Site Name Fleece Blanket
  • Family Site Name Garden Flag
  • Family Campsite Metal Sign

On each product page there are three fields. The Name line is required and takes up to 16 characters. The Site line is optional and takes up to 16 characters. The Est. year is optional and takes a year from 1950 to 2026. A live preview shows your text on the picture as you type, a counter shows the characters left, and no field costs extra.

Type the same lines on each product and the whole site matches: “The Hollis Crew / Site 14 / Est. 2019” on the sign at the road, on the flag by the steps, on the mugs on the picnic table. Order one piece now and add another next season; the lines will still be there to type.

You do not have to use a surname. Some people prefer first names, a family nickname like “Nana & Pop’s”, the name they gave the rig, like “Rolling Home”, a nickname for the site, or simply the Est. year. All of those fit the same fields.

One thing to be clear about: we do not send a proof before production. We print exactly what is typed. Read your lines twice. If you spot a slip, you have 24 hours from placing the order to email us and have it changed.

What you will not find here

Some of what defines a shop is what it leaves out. These are our lines in the gravel.

  • No fake reviews. There are no invented star ratings, made-up customer quotes or counters claiming how many people bought something. If you want to know what a product is like, the product page tells you, and you can ask us.
  • No tired slogans. You have seen the same handful of camping phrases on a thousand shirts. We write our own lines and draw from what actually happens at a site: the hand signals, the bubble that is nearly centred, the pedestal, the wrong loop.
  • No brand names. Our designs do not use the name or logo of any real campground, park, RV maker, gear brand, team or character, and we decline them in the personalisation fields too. The reasons are in our Intellectual Property Policy.
  • No pretend people. This page has no stock photos of a smiling crew and no invented backstory. You are buying from a small online shop with a real postal address and one support inbox.
  • No tracking or advertising tools. The store does not run analytics, ad pixels or a newsletter list. Our Privacy Policy lists what we do collect.
  • No claims we cannot back. You will not see us promise that a flag shrugs off every storm or that a mug survives the fire grate. See the honest notes below.

Honest notes about the products

Better you hear these from us now than find out at the site.

What each product is, and what to know before you buy
ProductWhat it isWorth knowing

Because items are made to order, product pictures are design previews. Colours can vary a little between your screen and the finished piece, and between a tee, a mug and a flag carrying the same design.

How an order is made

Camp Ink is print on demand. Nothing is stacked on a shelf waiting for a buyer. When your order comes in, each item is produced by our print partners and sent to you by our delivery partners, from the USA. That is why a typed name costs nothing extra, why every tee and hoodie can go up to 5XL, and why there is a short making time before anything ships. It is also why two items from one order can turn up in separate parcels on different days.

It means, too, that we cannot rush a single order to the front or promise a delivery date. If you are buying for opening weekend or a birthday at the lake, order early and allow for the full estimate below.
