Intex 15-Inch Essential Rest Queen Air Mattress

Comfort and convenience are key when staying overnight in a tent, and this soft queen-size air mattress from Intex features an internal pump for easy inflation. The flocked sides make it puncture- and abrasion-resistant, and the sturdy bottom ring offers more stability for less movement if you’re sharing the bed with someone else. It comes with a carrying bag for easy transport and the internal pump also works as a deflator.

Ozark Trail Camping Director Chair

No true camping experience is complete without sitting around a campfire, so grab this portable director chair for half off. It features a padded seat and armrests, a foldable table with a cupholder, and a stainless steel frame that can support up to 600 pounds. The rust-resistant build folds flat to take up as little room as possible in your RV or car.

Ozark Trail 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent

If you plan to sleep under the stars for your next trip, this 10-person tent is spacious enough to fit sleeping bags or two queen-sized air mattresses. While a tent that can host this many people may seem daunting to put together, this option isn’t. It takes two minutes or less since you can unfold and extend the structure without having to place poles since they’re already pre-attached.

Goplus Portable Propane Three-Burner Stove

When it’s time to enjoy a tasty meal outdoors, you’ll need somewhere to cook. This three-burner propane stove from Goplus can boil water faster than one shopper’s indoor stovetop and can comfortably accommodate two pans and a tea kettle, according to another reviewer. The waterproof and rust-resistant cooktop is great for other events, too, like tailgates and backyard barbecues.
