Best 4WD & Camping Storage Bags of 2026

Quick picks: the best 4WD and camping storage bags compared

Best tailgate organiser: Kings Plus Pocket Organiser

The Kings Plus Pocket Organiser is a padded 370 gsm canvas pocket, with one large and three small pockets, that sticks onto a dash, fridge or tailgate with hook and loop strips. It’s still stuck on after more than six months, and the materials are great. The top closes with Velcro, not a zip, and the adhesive strips are permanent. $45, and the 2-pack can be the cheaper buy.

Best drawer bags: Kings Plus Clear Top Bags

The Kings Plus Clear Top Bags are what we upgraded to in our drawers: grey canvas with a clear lid, foam padding, a wipe-clean PVC lining, an adjustable divider and sturdier zips than the older Kings bags. They’re soft-sided and not fully waterproof. $25 for the small, $30 for the large.

Best packing cubes: Sea to Summit Hydraulic Packing Cubes

The Sea to Summit Hydraulic Packing Cubes are a set of three dust-proof, water-resistant cubes (0.75, 1.5 and 3.5 L) with a see-through panel, welded seams and grab handles, 124.7 g for the set. They’re pricey at $80 and the biggest is only 3.5 L.

Best spare wheel bag: Kings Spare Wheel Bag (48L)

The Kings Spare Wheel Bag has a 42 L main compartment plus mesh side pockets, in strong 400 gsm PVC. After a year on every trip it shows no wear. The straps are fiddly to set up, it isn’t fully waterproof and the drain vent needs keeping clear. $50.

Best for shoes: Kings Universal Storage Bag

The Kings Universal Storage Bag slides into a rooftop tent or awning sail track, or clips on anywhere. We hang it next to the ladder and put our shoes in before we climb in, so they stay dry and free of creatures overnight. It has mesh pockets on the front and two carabiners. $75 for a 4-pack.

Best hanging organiser: Kings Plus Hanging Camp Caddy

The Kings Plus Hanging Camp Caddy is a well-made hanging organiser in 370 gsm canvas with PVC-lined pockets, a removable zip bag and carry handles. It costs more than basic hanging bags, but it’s much better quality. $40, and the 2-pack is better value.

Best for gas canisters: Butane Gas Canister Storage Bag

The butane canister bag is a simple, light bag that protects up to six butane canisters with thick foam dividers and a solid zip. It isn’t premium-brand quality, the dividers are fixed and it adds some bulk. $27.

Best value drawer bags: Slimbridge Canvas Storage Bags

The Slimbridge bags are clear-top canvas bags that fit our Titan drawers and keep food, emergency kit, headlamps and pegs sorted. The canvas is strong and feels nicer than the plain Kings bag of the same size. They aren’t rigid or waterproof. $42 for three.

Best duffel: Adventure Kings 40L Duffel Bag

The Kings 40L Duffel is a no-frills duffel in water-resistant tarpaulin, with heavy-duty zips, outside pockets and a mesh pocket inside. The zips are a bit stiff, the shoulder strap needs more padding and it’s rigid when new. $40.

Best budget drawer bag: Kings Canvas Clear Top Bag

The Kings Canvas Clear Top Bag is a simple 400 gsm canvas bag with a clear lid that fits drawer systems: you see what’s inside at a glance. The zips sometimes stick and the 15 cm height limits what fits. About $24.

Biggest spare wheel bag: San Hima Spare Wheel Bag (70L)

The San Hima Spare Wheel Bag holds 70 L, with several compartments and a drainage system for wet gear, and it’s easy to mount and remove. It’s large for weekends only and made for 31 to 35 inch tyres. $85.

Best roof bag: Kings Roof Top Bag (Half-Length)

The Kings Roof Top Bag is a heavy-duty, waterproof and dustproof roof bag with a three-sided zip and built-in tie-down straps, for half-length racks and ute trays. There’s no organisation inside and the straps could be longer for wide trays. $60.

How to choose 4WD and camping storage bags

Start with where the bag will live. In the drawers, you want clear-top bags sized to the drawer, so you can find things without unzipping every bag. For the things you grab all day, an organiser on the tailgate, awning or rooftop tent keeps them at hand. And for rubbish, wet gear or bulky bedding, a spare wheel or roof bag gets it out of the cabin.
