As a former scout and scoutmaster, I did a lot of camping. While you can always add layers when it is cold, when it is hot, there is only so much you can take off to stay cool. With the advent of cheaper, higher capacity batteries, camping and enjoying the outdoors is becoming more comfortable. Now you can take a high output fan with you when you go camping, picnicking, watching kid’s sports, or even just working out in the yard with the OGERY Camping Fan.
What Is the OGERY Camping Fan?
The OGERY Camping Fan comes with the following:
- 1 camping fan
- 1 remote control
- 1 USB-C charging cord
- 1 user manual
The OGERY Camping Fan consists of a base that contains a 20,000 mAh battery with a oscillating fan built on top of it. This powerful battery can power the fan up to 200 hours at the lowest fan setting or 17 hours at the highest setting which moves air at up to 5.2 m/s. The fan also has a built in lantern with a light ring that goes around the outside of the fan screen. The entire fan unit is about 15″ high, 9.5″ wide, and 4.3″ deep.
To operate the camping fan, just rotate the central knob clockwise. Rotating this knob also adjusts the fan speed which is displayed on small LED lights. To turn off the fan, either rotate the knob counter-clockwise or press the knob. If you want the fan to turn off automatically after a set amount of time, you can press the timer button that looks like a clock to cycle between 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. Holding down the timer button will close the timer function. By pressing the oscillation button, you can cycle through four different arcs at 30°, 60°, 90°, or 120°. Long Pressing this button will turn off oscillation. The light button turns on the lantern and cycles through four levels of brightness. The sleep mode button turns all of the LED indicator lights on or off. Finally, the battery level lights show you how much power remains in the battery. You can also manually rotate the fan up and down through 270°. The camping fan also includes a remote control so you can control the fan from a distance.
The battery supports 18W fast charging when using a fast charger which is not included. At this rate, it can fully charge in 4.5 hours. To charge the fan, just connect the included USB-C charging cable to a charger. The fan also includes a 22.5W output through the USB-C port as well as the USB-A port so you can also use it to charge your devices. While the fan can set on its base, on the bottom of the base you can find a hook which folds out and can rotate 360° to you can choose to hang the fan.

Why You Should Get the OGERY Camping Fan
When I first heard about the OGERY Camping Fan, I was excited to try it. Our family does a lot outdoors. Literally a couple of days after receiving it, my daughter in high school told me she wished she had a nice fan to take to an all-day track meet where the temperatures would be in the high 80s to 90s. I surprised her by handing her the fan and asking her to let me know how it worked. She really liked it and said others at the meet were impressed. Plus she could use it to charge her phone as well. The battery lasted the entire meet and she said she often had it on the highest speed.
I like using it when I am working in the yard when I am staying in a small area. I don’t have to bring out a bulky fan and an extension cord, I can just use the OGERY fan. As it began to get dark, I found the lantern function to be useful to illuminate what I was working on. When we are eating outside, it also has a side benefit. Not only does it keep us cool while placed on the table, the air movement also helped keep away insects from getting to us or our food.
I have been impressed with the design of the OGERY Camping Fan. It is fairly light-weight and easy to carry using the handle at the top. The inclusion of a lantern with the fan is ingenious so that it can serve two functions. It has a large enough battery for lasting an entire day or longer. A 30,000 mAh version is also available for about $20 more for extended use. The controls are intuitive and easy to use and the addition of a remote makes it even easier to control–especially when you are bedded down at night camping and you want to turn off the light or adjust the fan without having to get up. I also appreciate the hook on the bottom which allows you to hang it from something so it can be up high rather than on the ground. If you would like to stay cooler while outdoors, then I recommend the OGERY Camping Fan. It is perfect for campaign as well as many other outdoor activities and can even be used to keep your pets cool. It can also make a great gift for weddings, graduations, or other events for the outdoor people in your life.
