Camping gear for normal people

You camp a few weekends a year. You need gear that fits your car, keeps everyone comfortable and does not cost a fortune - not a debate about tent weights.

How it works

  1. 1Answer six questions: who is going, what you drive, where you will sleep, quality tier, season, whether you cook.
  2. 2You get one kit that fits that car and group: tent, cooler, bags, pads, chairs, light, stove.
  3. 3Every item links to a real Amazon listing (.com or .ca by your region) that we keep checking is in stock.

How we pick

  • Brands that hold up: Coleman, Kelty, Marmot, Therm-a-Rest, Black Diamond.
  • Right-sized specs: a 40°F bag for summer, not a 0°F one you carry for nothing.
  • Three quality tiers, each the best value at its level - never the item that pays us most.
  • Nothing out of stock and nothing you cannot buy in your country.
