Best Camping Candles of 2025

"I was really impressed with the packaging of these candles! There was no damage upon arrival, and each candle was securely held in individual foam holders. They are a bit on the expensive side, but I believe they are worth every penny since they burn cleanly and produce no soot."

"I bought these candles for future emergency use. They burn clean without adding any scents to the air, and I even use them for smudging ceremonies. I also got a lantern that fits these candles perfectly for camping. It's safe in the wind, and they burn really well in it!"

"While I found these candles to be quite cute and useful in lanterns at our campsite, I realized they don't truly last the claimed 12 hours if there's any wind. However, with so many in a box, I expect they'll last me a good few years."

"I think these little bug lanterns are amazing! The LED colors continuously change, and they are an effective way to keep the bugs away. I’m definitely going to buy more for next summer!"

"Honestly, I was a bit confused when I first opened it because the candle didn't have any buttons. But once I lit it, I was mind-blown! The colors lit up immediately, and it kept the mosquitoes away while I was outside. I'm so happy with this purchase!"

"I took this candle camping, and although I didn’t expect it to really help with the bugs, I was surprised. It’s cute and color-changing, but unfortunately, the LEDs didn’t work at all for me, and it didn’t deter the bugs. A bit of a letdown!"

"These candles burn long and evenly! The size is perfect and they look so pretty!"

"I ordered three boxes of 12 candles. They arrived on time and in great condition. I plan to use them for emergencies and luminaries during Christmas time. A great item to have on hand!"

"I bought a box of three white UCO candles and three beeswax candles in 2018. The last of those candles just went in my lantern on September 1, 2024. They typically last around 14 hours each!"

"I really enjoy these candles; they last a long time, and I'm very satisfied. I'll definitely buy again."

"Overall, I think it's a great product. Despite some candles burning for only 16 hours, I may still purchase again."

"I find these candles wonderful; they burn forever with a golden light and have a faint scent of honey that’s not bothersome. They fit into almost any decor, making them great for candle lanterns. Overall, they are a great value for the price."

"I was really pleased with the reasonable price of these beeswax candles. They smell good, and burning them is actually beneficial for health!"

"I was a bit disappointed when I noticed that the box was labeled as LED candles, which they are not. However, I'm looking forward to using them since the wick looks well-centered for an even burn."

"I found that the candles did help keep bugs off, which is why I gave them 3 stars. However, I felt disappointed because I expected the cups to be porcelain enamel. They turned out to be something else entirely, and I wouldn't feel comfortable drinking from them. The scents were overwhelming, which is typical for citronella candles, but the added scents made it even worse."

"After receiving a replacement for my melted candle, I was still let down. This one didn’t repel anything, and it arrived damaged from top to bottom. It also lacked a clear white lid, and to top it off, the smell was weak."

"The candle looks good and burns well, but it doesn't smell like a campfire at all. Instead, it reminded me of vapor rub."

“I found these candles to be perfect for my prayer space. They burn for a long time and have no smell, which is just what I needed. It's a great value for the pack!”

“During the power outage after Hurricane Helenie, I was grateful to have these candles. Each pack provided 24 hours of light, and with two packs, I had 48 hours of burn time. They were drip-resistant and just the right height.”

“I bought these candles as a standby for potential power failures. Although I didn't need to use them, I'm reassured knowing they are sturdy and will work just fine if needed.”

"I find these candles to be really expensive, but worth it. They fit perfectly into my UCO lanterns and burn much longer than the paraffin ones. I appreciate the mild scent they give off while burning, and they are made from a natural resource. The wicks self-trim and have held up well in hot conditions. Their long burn time comes down to about a quarter per hour, which I consider a good deal for the quality."

"I've been using UCO beeswax candles, and I really enjoy their soothing scent. They are not very tall, making them ideal for smaller rooms. I highly recommend purchasing a lantern to go with them!"

"I ordered these beeswax candles as emergency candles. They burn cleanly and are nearly odorless, which is a huge plus. I've had minimal drips, and even when I moved them slightly, it was just a drop. Although I haven't reached the 12-hour burn time, they definitely last longer than regular wax candles. I've started using them for more than just emergencies, like dinner or bath time!"

“I’ve used this candle multiple times and it lasts a long time. I haven’t finished one yet, so I highly recommend it!”

“After buying several of these, I can say they do what they claim and last over a month. Excellent value for the money, plus the scent is not overpowering and looks great on my patio table.”

“I found that you need to burn the candle for a while before it really starts working against mosquitoes. If I leave it out on a cold night and close the lid, the condensation makes it tough to relight, but it does its job well overall.”
