Budget Camping Gear

dealsonwheels

I'm planning a camping trip on a budget and I'm looking for the best websites to find affordable camping gear. Ideally, I'm looking for places that offer good quality products at reasonable prices, and any deals or discounts would be a bonus. Also, any suggestions for essential gear that is worth investing in, versus items I can save on, would be great. Any tips or personal experiences with certain websites would be much appreciated!

I've found some great deals on camping gear at REI's outlet section and Backcountry's sale page. Both often have quality products at reduced prices. For budget-friendly options, I also check Amazon and Walmart, especially for basic items like tarps or utensils. When it comes to investing, a good tent and sleeping bag are definitely worth spending a bit more on for comfort and durability. On the other hand, you can save on non-essentials like camping chairs or cookware. Do you have any specific items you’re looking to buy?

I personally like browsing through REI's outlet for quality camping gear on a budget. I've also had good experiences with Backcountry's sale section; they sometimes have items at great discounts. For more general gear, I often check Amazon and Walmart. They're useful for snagging basic gear like utensils and tarps at lower prices. From my experience, it's worth investing in a good tent and sleeping bag—these make a world of difference for comfort and durability on your trips. On the flip side, you can usually afford to save a bit on less crucial items like chairs and cookware.
