Anyone who loves to take trips into the wilderness appreciates a good camping tent sale. There are a handful of places to consider when finding equipment for little money. Some ideas are really no-brainers but you can also find a camping tent sale in unexpected places, too.
For example, my husband found an amazing camping tent sale that a friend of his was having. While most of the items were second-hand, many items were never used. The gentleman had every intention on using the various pieces of camping equipment for sale but he just never did.

Finding the occasional second-hand item is pretty easy but it is hit-and-miss, too. You can look in your local newspaper for a camping tent sale and you may hit it lucky then again, you might find that you are wasting your time. There are other options to consider if you want to find cheap equipment for camping trips.
Craigslist
Craigslist is a great option for finding local camping tent sale items in your area. This is a nice alternative to purchasing on EBay because you don’t have to worry about paying for shipping which can add up really quickly when you purchase from people online.
EBay
However, there is the occasional EBay camping tent sale that offers free shipping. You do have to worry about other bidders, though. This can make the price rise faster than you may like. The great thing about bidding sites is that you can put in your highest bid. If the price goes over, then you lose but at least you’re able to set a limit.
Dick’s sporting Goods, Etc.
Every now and again I like to browse thorough filers from stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods. These stores aren’t really known for rock-bottom pricing but you can find a good camping tent sale if you shop off-season. This is kind-of hit-and-miss as well. Timing is everything when looking for these kinds of specials.
Then there is the online shopping experience that doesn’t involve second-hand items. You also may find that you will find a camping tent sale that is so great that the rock-bottom price offsets the cost of shipping. I found a tent for two for as low as 40 bucks. Add 8 bucks shipping and you still have a great deal.
There are plenty of options when it comes to finding the right gear for your trips. Camping tent sales come in many different forms and you may find what you need at a neighbor’s yard sale or you may find something brand new on your computer. The only way to discover a great camping tent sale is to start looking.
