Just because the temperatures have fallen doesn't mean camping season is over. As long as you're geared up with some good equipment, fall camping can be a great experience. Check out some of our favorite camping deals this week.
Refreshingly crisp temps, stunning fall colors, and close to empty campgrounds is what camping in the autumn is all about. Sure, you might need some warmer clothes and camping gear compared to August camping, but October and November weekends in the wilderness can be incredibly rewarding. If you're up for braving some cooler temps, check out these great camping deals at REI that'll help make fall camping both comfortable and enjoyable.
Best tent deal
Why we like it
The three-season Mountain Hardware Mineral 2 Tent with Footprint will keep you cozy and dry should you wind up camping in some autumn rain, and the included footprint means the tent floor won't end up in a muddy mess. Plus, the tent is seam taped for a waterproof construction. The tent sleeps two people and has an overall floor area of 33 square feet.
Interior and an overhead pocket give you ample space to store important items like the flint to start a fire, your cellphone, and car keys. REI's customer reviews rate the Mountain Hardware Mineral 2 Tent as having a very easy setup, which can make all the difference if you arrive at the campground after a long drive.
Best sleeping bag deal
Why we like it
Keep cozy during cooler nights with the Nemo Jazz 30 Sleeping Bag. With a temperature rating of 30 degrees F, the Nemo sleeping bag adds in some great comforts that you don't often find in a camping sleeping bag. For starters, it comes with a built-in (but removeable) bedsheet and the bottom features a pad sleeve that's designed to ensure your sleeping pad stays snugly in place if you reposition while sleeping. Double zippers mean you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the sleeping bag, and there's also a pillow pocket to make sure your pillow doesn't slip away.
The Nemo Jazz 30 usually sells for $299.95, but it's currently 50% off at REI which means you'll pay just $149.83 for ultimate camping comfort.
Best campsite accessory deal
Why we like it
Since the sun rises later and sets earlier in the fall, the Nite Ize Radiant 314 Rechargeable Lantern is the perfect campsite accessory. It offers 314 lumens of white light but the built-in diffuser makes this easy on the eyes. You can switch between high, medium, and low settings or switch to a warm amber color. The included storage bag can also double as a light-diffuser if you prefer a softer light.
On a single charge, the Nite Ize can get up to 96 hours of use and there's a built-in USB charger port, so you can charge up your devices from the lantern. Recharging the lantern takes about three hours with the included micro-USB cable.
