HitchFire Launches Freestanding Camp Kitchen

March 12, 2026

Expanding beyond hitch-mounted grills, HitchFire introduces a freestanding camp kitchen for overlanding and vehicle-based travel.

Santa Cruz, CA (March 12, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — HitchFire, the leading provider of hitch-mounted portable grills and accessories, today announced the launch of its first hitchless product, the HitchFire Camp Kitchen, a freestanding, fully self-contained portable kitchen designed for camping, overlanding, van life, and vehicle-based adventure travel.

Unlike traditional camp cooking setups that require hauling multiple pieces of gear, the 60-pound kitchen features dual 10,000 BTU burners, integrated running water, and a compact aluminum enclosure designed for vehicle travel.

The new system debuts this weekend at Overland Expo SoCal, where HitchFire will showcase the Camp Kitchen, priced at $1,499.

“We wanted to build something that feels like a real kitchen you can bring anywhere,” said Evan Currid, founder of HitchFire. “Running water, powerful burners, organized gear—everything you need is built right in so you can pull up, start cooking, and enjoy the moment.”

A Complete Kitchen in One Compact System

Based on HitchFire’s original Hitch Kitchen, the HitchFire Camp Kitchen consolidates essential camp cooking tools into a rugged aluminum box designed for travel and fast setup. It can be placed on a table, used with HitchFire’s purpose-built folding stand or mounted on a slide-out system for full vehicle integration.

Key features include:

• On-board integrated water pump with foldable faucet and sink
• Dual 10,000 BTU propane burners for serious cooking power
• Integrated cutting board prep station
• Magnetic utensil holder and paper towel mount for organized cooking
• On-board USB charging ports for phones and small electronics
• Durable construction designed for vehicle-based adventure

The system eliminates the need to carry separate stoves, water jugs, tables, and bulky kitchen bins—turning any campsite, trailhead, or tailgate into a complete outdoor kitchen.

See It at Overland Expo SoCal

Visitors to Overland Expo SoCal can see the Camp Kitchen in person and watch live cooking demonstrations throughout the weekend.

The HitchFire team will be showcasing the Camp Kitchen at Booth SA-126 during the event.

To celebrate the launch, HitchFire is offering $500 off during the pre-order campaign, available now at:
