Campsuds is Now Part of GEAR AID
For nearly 60 years, Campsuds has earned a place in packs, camp kitchens, river bags, and adventure kits around the world. Since it was introduced in 1968, the concentrated cleaner has been a trusted companion for campers, backpackers, paddlers, travelers, and anyone who appreciates simple products that work really well.


We’re stoked to share that Campsuds is becoming a part of the GEAR AID family.

If you've used Campsuds before, you already know what makes it special: a few drops can handle everything from dirty dishes and laundry to general camp cleanup. It's versatile, dependable, and has remained a favorite among outdoor adventurers across generations. That's exactly why we were drawn to it.

At GEAR AID, we've spent more than four decades helping people get more life out of their gear. Whether it's cleaning, repairing, or maintaining the things that you use outside, our mission has always been to help people spend more time outside and less time worrying about their equipment. Campsuds is a natural fit alongside the products you already rely on from GEAR AID.

"Campsuds has earned a loyal following because it's a genuinely useful product that has stood the test of time," said Clark Campbell, President of GEAR AID. "We're excited to help carry that legacy forward and ensure outdoor enthusiasts can continue counting on it for years to come."

Whether you're washing dishes at camp, cleaning up after a long day on the trail, or packing light for your next adventure, Camp Suds will remain the same hardworking, multi-purpose cleaner that outdoor enthusiasts have relied on for decades. We're simply excited to help introduce this longtime camp favorite to a new generation of campers, backpackers, paddlers, and travelers.

We're thrilled to welcome Campsuds to GEAR AID and look forward to supporting its next chapter. Because the best outdoor products aren't just the newest ones. They're the ones people keep coming back to, year after year.
