Berglander Plastic Camping Mess Kit — Plate, Bowl, Mug & Utensils
Product description
This Berglander camping mess kit ships with a single plate, one bowl, a mug, a fork, a knife and a spoon, plus a small soft carrying bag to keep the set together. Each utensil tucks into the bowl or nests with the plate so the whole kit stacks into the supplied pouch for transport.
All pieces are molded from lightweight plastic designed for backpacking and day trips. The materials resist common camping wear — scratches and minor impacts — while remaining easy to wipe or rinse clean after a meal. The mug is sized for hot drinks or soup; the plate and bowl are shaped for typical camp portions.
The plate doubles as a lid over the bowl when nested, though it is not an airtight or snap-sealed closure. The fork, spoon and knife fit together and store inside the bowl to save space. The carry bag has a zipper closure and a compact footprint so the kit slides into most backpacks, picnic baskets or glove compartments.
Use this kit for weekend camping, day hikes, road trips, picnics or whenever you need a lightweight, reusable dining set. It’s aimed at travelers who prioritize compact packing and easy cleanup over rugged, heavy-duty performance.
Built for frequent outdoor use, the set strikes a balance between low weight and functional durability. While not indestructible, the plastic construction offers reliable service for casual campers and families who want a tidy, portable dining solution.
Pros
- Lightweight and highly packable
- Complete set of utensils and serving pieces

VerdictA convenient, inexpensive mess kit that packs neatly and covers all basic outdoor dining needs. The plastic pieces are lightweight and simple to clean, and the soft carry pouch keeps everything together. It’s best for casual use; those seeking heavier-duty gear or a leakproof seal may want a different option.

Feels thinner than pictured
Material seems more flimsy than photos suggested — overall function is OK but quality feels light.

Works well for tent camping
Bought for a tent trip and it proved useful and well made. The two plates don’t align perfectly which makes closing tricky, but the pouch stores everything neatly.

Good for beach trips
I like it a lot — my grandchild will be happy. Works well at the beach; the cup and plate are a bit tall but fine for kids.

Attractive but not leakproof
Looks cute and the bright color is fun, but the plate doesn't snap on tightly. If it's dirty it can spill in a bag unless you wash it immediately.

Perfect compact kit for solo trips
Picked this up for weekend getaways and it's been reliable. Includes plate, bowl, cup and cutlery, all stored in a small bag that hardly takes any space. Lightweight to carry, easy to wash, and feels sturdy enough for single-person use. Great for camping, hikes or keeping in the car for emergencies.

Bright, handy kit for casual use
The warm yellow stands out in a packed bag and the pieces nest neatly in the zippered case. The plastic is lightweight but reasonably thick and has handled hot and cold meals without warping.

"Fragile" label misleads — not ideal for rough use
Arrived with a fragile label which felt odd for camping gear. The plate sits over the bowl but doesn’t lock; it falls off if tipped. Cup is small and utensils can separate if not aligned exactly. Useful for light, careful use but not for rough handling.
