REI offers a wide variety of their own brand of camping gear. These are the high-quality REI items I regularly use and recommend for car camping trips.
The Altara Arcadia is a unique four-person tent with doors on all sides, dual convertible awnings, and an open design that provides exceptional views, ventilation, and living space.
Good camp organization starts with reliable storage. These well-built solutions offer the durability, thoughtful features, and long-term performance I look for in outdoor gear.
The OGERY Solar Camping String Lights combine ambient string lights with a built-in lantern and flashlight, creating a versatile all-in-one lighting setup for camping and outdoor use.
A lightweight, rechargeable mosquito repeller and lantern that creates a bug-free zone at camp — without sprays or fuel — ideal for camping or backpacking.
The REI Co-op Westward Shelter is a screened canopy that keeps bugs out while letting you cook, eat, and relax at camp with an open view of your surroundings.
These are my favorite hassle-free (and delicious) camping meals. All use just a few ingredients from Trader Joe’s and are easy to prepare with minimal cleanup afterwards.
If you’re looking for better sleep while car camping, the Zenbivy ZipBed Overland Bundle combines warmth, comfort, and freedom of movement in a simple, practical system.
With a supportive structure and well-designed features, the highly rated Exped MegaMat delivers impressive comfort, bringing a high level of sleep quality to camping trips.
