Originally designed for summer campers in need of a screen-free camera to bring to sleep-away camp, the Camp Snap has reached a much bigger audience of people looking to go analog. As a 20-something far removed from my summer camp years, even I was interested in the Camp Snap and bought one last summer. Now the company is introducing the second generation of its original design, the Camp Snap 2, in an array of vintage-inspired colors and with a helpful new feature.
The new Camp Snap 2 comes in “jelly” colors including strawberry splash, blue rush, twisted lime, and tangerine drift.

The Camp Snap 2 still comes in its classic faux leather stylings, but now it comes in four new jelly colors that channel the ’90s with their vibrant, transparent design. But the new shades of pink, blue, green, and orange aren’t the only upgrades coming to the Camp Snap 2. Now the camera has six built-in filters: Standard, Vintage 1–3, Analog, and Black & White. The filters can be toggled on through a button on the back of the camera.

Other new features in the Camp Snap 2 include a Camp Lock, a kid-friendly lock that prevents the filter function. Plus, the shutter button has a better response, it has better battery life (about 500 photos per charge), a slimmer design, a tripod mount, and the ability to use screw-on photo filters.

Ahead of the camera’s launch, I got to try out the Camp Snap 2 and found it was just as great as the original. I like its slightly smaller design and found that the shutter button was much improved, capturing photos faster. The filters require some playing around with to get a sense of their shading, but I do like the black and white filter, which my dog, Milly, modeled for.
The new camera maintains plenty from the previous generation, including the signature scree-free design, 4GB of storage pre-installed, JPEG formatting, and easy transfer to iOS, Android, and Mac via USB-C cables.
The Camp Snap 2 is available as of June 2, 2026, and is available at the same price as the original Camp Snap, $69.95.
