Outdoor Stores:The places that are going to sale the most tents are places that specifically target sports and activities like hunting and fishing. Often outdoor retailers are more expensive than other places you can find. Since they specialize in selling outdoor gear you can find better quality tents than at other places and usually more options.Cabela’sThis is one of the biggest outfitters for outdoor enthusiasts. One step into their store you will find the trophy’s of hunters lining the walls. Since they sell a lot of hunting and fishing gear it is a great place to find tents, including ones that are made by them.
They also sell tons of accessories for your tent from tent stakes, to floor Cold Lamination Film liners. REIREI is another major store that focuses on camping and hiking gear. They also have their own tents and are a great place to find other accessories you might need like footprints and stakes. This was a store my family liked to use a lot when I was younger to outfit us for our summer camps.LL BeanLocated in Maine, LL Bean has a ton of gear and clothing. Their prices can be higher but they tend to sale very high quality products. Their online site has a great feature of allowing you to use their park search feature which allows you to search for a place for a campground for your adventure either by name or by using a map. When you select by region you can narrow it down to the types of activities you are interested in doing there and it will come up with a list of different places.
I found the search to be lacking a bit since I tried to narrow down by state and I got results from many other places that weren’t even near by.BassproFishing enthusiasts will already be familiar with Basspro but even if your perfect camping trip doesn’t include fishing you can still find some great stuff at this store that you can use for your upcoming expedition. They sell their own tents and sale some Coleman tents as well. They also sell loads of other supplies.CampmorThis is an online site that offers tons of different gear and options. Something unique they offer are tents that they call, “slightly soiled.” I’m not exactly sure if these are just tents that have been returned without use or not, but you can find some pretty cheap tents this way.Superstores:The three main superstores Target, Walmart, and Kmart all include specific aisles at their stores that contain tents, air mattresses, and other camping supplies. They offer some great prices and will often feature seasonal sales. Just keep checking your mailboxes and newspapers to see
