Camco 53380 Campsite Picnic Table & Bench Cover Set

The Camco Campsite picnic table cover set turns a splintery, weather-worn campground table into a clean place to eat. You get three pieces in the box: one tablecloth and two bench covers. The tablecloth measures 9 feet long by 4-1/2 feet wide, and each bench cover runs 9 feet long by 1-1/2 feet wide. That's full coverage for a standard picnic table, top and both benches.

It's made from vinyl with a flannel backing. The vinyl top is the part you eat off of, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth. Spilled ketchup, sticky soda rings, campfire ash, none of it soaks in. The flannel backing is the quiet hero here. It grips the table surface so the cloth doesn't slide around every time someone leans on it, and it adds a little cushion over rough, weathered wood.

The design is Camco's Life is Better at the Campsite RV and tree sketch print. It's a laid-back campground look that fits right in whether you're at a state park, a private campground, or a friend's backyard cookout. Nothing loud. Just a clean, outdoorsy pattern that reads well in photos and hides the odd smudge between wipe-downs.

Setting it up takes about a minute. Drape the tablecloth over the tabletop, smooth it down, then lay a bench cover over each seat. Because the covers are sized for a standard picnic table, they hang evenly without a lot of fussing. The flannel underside keeps things in place through a normal breeze. If you're camping somewhere gusty, you'll want to tuck the edges or add your own table clamps, since clamps aren't part of this set.

This is the kind of gear that lives in the RV storage bay and comes out at every stop. Weekend campers use it to skip the ritual of scrubbing down a public table before dinner. Tailgaters throw it over a folding table in the parking lot. Plenty of folks buy it just for the back patio at home because it's easier to wipe than a fabric tablecloth and it doesn't blow off in the wind the way a light cloth does. If you host outdoors a lot, having the benches covered too is a nice touch your guests notice.

Cleanup is about as simple as it gets. Wipe the vinyl down at the end of the meal, let it air dry, then fold it back up. It stores flat or rolled, and it won't take up much room in a camper cabinet or a truck bed tote. Vinyl holds up to sun and the occasional rain shower, so you can leave it on the table through the day without babysitting it.

The two bench covers are the part people forget about, and they're what makes this set worth buying over a plain tablecloth on its own. Bare picnic-table benches get hot in the afternoon sun, cold and damp first thing in the morning, and rough where the paint has worn off. Draping a cover over each seat gives everyone a cleaner, more comfortable place to sit, and it keeps the backs of shorts and dresses off a bench that's seen a hundred campers before you. Kids notice the difference. So do the guests who came to relax, not to inspect the furniture.

Who's it for? Anyone who eats at a picnic table more than a couple of times a season. It's a small purchase that makes a real difference in how a campsite feels. It's not a fitted, elastic-corner cover, so on an oversized or non-standard table you may get some overhang, and in strong wind you'll want to secure the edges. For a standard picnic table, though, it does exactly what you want: a clean surface, covered benches, quick cleanup, and a campground look you'll actually like.
