We have several great choices for roof mounted cargo bags that will fit your 2013 Honda CRV. My recommendation would be the Curt Roof Top Cargo Bag # C18220. This is one of our best selling roof cargo bags and it has received great ratings and reviews from our customers. It is 13.5 cubic feet to accommodate the cargo needed for your camping trips. The # C18220 has 8 adjustable straps for mounting to your existing crossbars.
Another option is that compatible with your 2013 Honda CRV is the Rightline Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20. This cargo bag can hold up to 15 cubic feet, has 4 straps for mounting to your existing roof rack.
Please keep in mind before using your roof cargo bag it is advised that you consult your owners manual and check the roof carrying capacity and weight limits of your 2013 Honda CRV. Also please clean the bottom of the bag and your roof before mounting the bag to the crossbars to avoid any scratches.
For ease of installation and access to your cargo bag I would also recommend using the HitchMate TireStep # HE4040. This step is removable and adjustable that fits most tires. It adjusts in both height and width, allowing easier access to your cargo bag.
If you would like to lock your cargo bag to your roof rack system I would recommend using the Rightline Cable lock # RL100640.
I have included links to the parts listed above, installation instructions and some videos for your reference.
