Best REI Camping Gear Deals Through May 29:

These are some of our favorite camping gear picks on sale now at REI’s Anniversary Sale for 2023:

Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Sleeping Pad – 25% off!

If you care about sleep, you want the ultra comfy Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Sleeping Pad. You get a blend of open-cell polyurethane foam with air inflation and an internal support design that delivers edge-to-edge support. It’s a bit spendy, but the cost and quality make it great gift idea for campers.

 

 

The North Face Wawona 6 Tent – 30% off!

Now is the time to save $150 on The North Face Wawona 6 Tent. The overall design is airy and roomy, but the included rain fly with a massive gear-storing vestibule sets it apart from the competition and makes it a versatile camp tent winner. It sleeps six and does great in both rain and wind.

Kelty Sideroads Car Awning – 25% off!

The Kelty Sideroads Car Awning is an easy-to-deploy sun and rain shelter that’s so good it earned a spot in our Best Gifts for Outdoor Lovers buying guide. It packs down small but delivers a roomy feel with its rounded canopy design.

Additional version to consider: For a shelter with sidewalls, check out our full review of the Kelty Backroads Shelter — it’s particularly great for car camping in undeveloped locations.

Eureka Northern Breeze 12 Screenhouse – 25% off!

One of the best screen houses for camping is the Eureka Northern Breeze 12 Screenhouse. It’s sturdy, comes with plenty of guylines and stakes for windy days, and it has a built-in awing. This spring, keep the hornets, wasps and yellow jackets away from your food! And the mosquitoes off your skin!

Note: REI members can save 30% on the Just for Members REI Co-op Screen House Shelter, which is also in our guide to the best screen houses for camping.

REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3 – 30% off!

If you’re looking for an ultra-comfortable cot, the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3 blends bungie support with a padded, quilted top. It’s oversized, holds up to 300 lbs, and is super stable. Any drawbacks? It’s bulky for travel.

If you’re interested in other great cot options, check out our guide to the best camping cots here.

Kelty Low Loveseat – 25% off

The Kelty Low Loveseat is a great for camping couples, of course, but it’s also great for families. If one parent sits in the Kelty Low Loveseat by the campfire at night, you can bet on company before long — especially if the parent wants to stay awake a bit later than the kiddos.

Grayl GeoPress Water Filter and Purifier Bottle – 25% off!

 

The Grayl GeoPress Water Filter and Purifier Bottle is an outstanding water filter for camping, hiking and boating. The innovative filter not only filters out protozoan cysts like giardia, it even filters out tiny viruses. We’ve put ours to the test while camping, backpacking and hunting — and even took it on 7-day whitewater rafting trip down the Middle From of the Salmon River in Idaho last summer. It’s easy to use and works well. If you’re traveling to an area with sketchy water sources — especially internationally — you’ll want a Grayl with you.

GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair

One of our favorite camp chairs is the GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair. It packs down small, but lets you rock in a motion that’s surprisingly similar to a traditional rocking chair. So good. Note: You’ve got to add this one to your cart to see the sale price!

ENO DoubleNest Hammock – 25% off!

As far as we’re concerned, every outdoor adventurer and camper should have a good hammock. The ENO DoubleNest Hammock is sized for two yet packs down small.

Coleman Cascade Classic Camp Stove – 25% off!

You can’t go wrong with a Coleman Classic Camp Stove, and we’re big fans of Coleman’s updated Coleman ‘Cascade’ Classic Camp Stove version. It’s tried-end-true design rarely fails, which is why it’s in our guide to the best camp stoves.

 

REI Co-op Camp Roll Table – 30% off!

The only downside to the REI Co-op Camp Roll Table is that this particular 30% off deal is just for REI members.

Yakima SkyRise HD 3 Tent – 20% off!

If you want a high-quality and affordable roof-top tent, the Yakima SkyRise HD 2 Tent is 20% off, making it a particularly great deal for car-camping adventurers.

Mountain Summit Gear Deluxe Roll Top Kitchen – 40% off!

We’re big fans of our extra-large Mountain Summit Gear Table (full review here), but it’s better for eating than managing a camp kitchen. That’s where the Mountain Summit Gear Deluxe Roll Top Kitchen comes in. You get multiple surfaces for cooking and camp kitchen storage. At regular price it’s a good deal, but right now it’s 40% off!

REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+ Tent – 30% off!

The REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+ Tent is an awesome all-around REI backpacking tent. It’s not the lightest tent, but it’s durable. Its best feature is its extra room. It’s about 2 inches wider and 2 inches longer than most competitive 2-person backpacking tents. This makes it more livable for two people (and a dog). Learn more in our full Half Dome SL 2+ Tent review here . . . or just nab one from REI while they’re on sale!
