Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Offer durable camping tents and shelters which are essential camping gear


For outdoor campers, high-quality camping tents are key to a safe and comfortable camping experience. Make sure you provide a variety of brands, styles, sizes and specifications.

I recommend: One of the top camping gear manufacturers, REI, designs and makes a number of different tents and shelters ranging in size and function and sells other top brands of camping gear. They also supply sacks, tarps and other shelters for all weather and terrain. Big Agnes offers a variety of free-standing, three- and four-season tents that fit any situation.

Offer a selection of sleeping bags along with other camping gear for camping excursions


Campers want a warm, high-quality sleeping bag that will allow them a comfortable sleeping experience. Insulating pads or air mattresses will provide more support and comfort.

I recommend: Eureka! carries a line of durable and lightweight sleeping bags for a variety of temperatures, most of which fit easily into backpacks. They also supply a variety of outdoor camping equipment, including pads, camp pillows, tents and shelters, hammocks, camping furniture and screen houses. Slumberjack has a wide range of sleek sleeping bags for the discerning camper: light or thick insulation; kid’s or adult’s; recreational or woodsman; or traditional rectangular or mummy. They also sell other outdoor camping gear, including foam or self-inflated sleeping mats, camping furniture, bivys, liners, pillows and sacks.

Provide a range of outdoor cooking equipment, lanterns, and other camping gear


Campers also need a variety of camping supplies for an enjoyable experience: grills and stoves, lighting, furniture, navigational equipment, heaters and coolers.

I recommend: Cabela's carries cast-iron cookware, camp and blind stoves, camp grills, smokers and a full camper’s kitchen. They also sell camping tents, lights, lanterns, navigation tools, camping furniture and other camping supplies. One of the top camping gear manufacturers, Coleman, offers a variety of portable outdoor grills for camping and tailgating as well as high-performance battery, propane, kerosene and liquid fuel lanterns. They also have tents and shelters, sleeping bags, coolers, air beds, furniture, emergency camping gear, heaters and other camping accessories. Campmor is a supplier of wholesale camping equipment, offering the top brands for all types of camping equipment online.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Thoughtful campers make every effort to tread lightly and leave their campsite as they found it. Camping equipment that aids customers in that endeavor are a necessity. Portable latrines, cooking stoves (instead of campfires), trash bags and storage containers are useful items to help campers lessen their environmental footprint. Be ready to provide valuable advice on eco-friendly camping supplies your customers may be interested in.
  • Offer personal instruction or classes on how to use camping equipment for beginning campers. Some of the tents, cooking equipment, lighting, outdoor gear and navigational tools can be a bit tricky for inexperienced users!
  • Stock batteries of every type and encourage customers to have backup batteries for their camping gear.
