The 5 Best Amazon Memorial Day Deals For Camping

Bringing about warmer weather and moments spent outside, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to summer. While the long weekend festivities have come and gone, Amazon continues to have some great deals on gear that’ll get you outside. For those of you looking to spend some time enjoying nature during the best season of the year, here are some of my top finds for summer car camping trips.

When looking to car camp, it’s not necessarily about bare-bones, ultra-lightweight equipment. Packing things in the car gives you a bit of wiggle room with weight, and with that likely a greater guarantee of comfort.

With Memorial Day now a few days past, some of these deals may move on quickly, so be sure to hop on these pieces of gear that will take you places. With gear starting at $10, the below equipment comes with awesome pieces that’ll get you started in the world of car camping without maxing out your credit card.
