The Best Early Prime Day 2023 Camping & Outdoor Living Deals

It's here that we find countless little knick-knacks for outdoor and camping enthusiasts. Hang on to your ripstop tents for this one because these deals are set to blow away any gear you currently own. In short, if you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your outdoor living goods, including tents, inflatable mattresses, and even backpacks for food and drinks, this is it!

Tents and Shelters

First on our list of tents and shelters is a teepee tent designed for the true outdoor-loving family. Going for $186 (Prime subscription required, otherwise $219), this one from Preself is the priciest piece of hardware on our list, but well worth the attention.

Those of us that want to catch a view of the world no matter the circumstance can get our hands on a 360-degree view, waterproof, windproof, and bugproof pod tent. For $152.99 (down from $179.99), AURORE's weather sports tent lets you kick back and watch the game, go fishing, or even camp out under the stars without ever missing a moment of wonder.

Campros' 8-person camping tent with five mesh windows, divider curtains, and a 5-minute setup time can be had for $127.99 (down from $159.99). Yes, it's waterproof!

For $67.99 (down from $79.99), you and your family of Little Foot explorers - Big Foot is out of the picture - can all sleep together in a 4-person tent, small enough to be taken in a backpack and suitable for four-season use.

OutdoorMaster has a pop-up beach tent with SPF 50+ protection suitable for up to four people again. The trade-off is the lack of four-season use.

The last shelter currently going for the price of a T-shirt is Go Time's two-person survival shelter - a $32.99 (15% off) piece of hardware to keep you dry in flash rains and warm in cold weather, with an interior that reflects 90% of body heat, warming up your enclosure with your energy.

Mattresses and Outdoor Blankets

One of the camping mattresses, the Linsy Living memory foam mat, is waterproof, and a single-occupancy top will run you $84.99 (down from $102.99). Best of all, it can be rolled up and thrown into your car or over your shoulder.

If you're looking for a massive picnic quilt instead, this one from Candy Cane has three layers of fabric, padding, and a woven top ensure you can get up after sitting in the same place for hours. $24 is all you need for fewer pins and needles in your legs (down from $39).

Dehumi's sleeping pad has an integrated foot pump and costs just $29.99 (down from $49.99). Thinking this is just too cheap to do anything well? Think again: ratings for this thing are average at 4.7/5 from over 2000 buyers. Looks like a favorite to me.

The final piece of ground cover is a colorful blanket for the beach or camping ($19.99 down from $23.99). Best of all, it's a washable trinket, so go ahead, spill wine, beer, juice, milk, whatever you want.

Backpacks of All Kinds

Folks, for a solid $39.99 (down from $49.84), you and your family can get a 160-piece emergency and survival kit, ready with everything you could ever think of or need. A knife is part of it, flint, scissors, fishing hooks, spork, hatchet, hammer, and so many more. Even a first-aid kit is included; an absolute must!

For $38, Everfun hits hard with a cooler backpack that's insulated, leakproof, and can fit 30 cans of your favorite juice, soda, or hoppy brew. It's good for hikes, days at the beach, or just getting away from the family for a few hours.

Then again, if you're looking for a high-capacity bag, you can always opt for a soft cooler. This one from Realcool can fit 35-45 cans, depending on their size, and won't run you any more than $23.99 (down from $39.99). Even if your ice melts, this thing is leakproof.

Water Bottles

Don't underestimate the importance of clean drinking water, so to ensure you have the fluids you need, grab a collapsible water bottle from Special Made for $25.79 (down from $42.99) - perfect for when you're out there in the wild, at the gym, or just lounging by the pool. Once it's empty, smash it, put it in your pocket, and refill it later.

For $32, you can ditch the water bottle and go for a 3 l (0.8 gallons) hydration bladder that you can throw into your backpack and start sucking out of a delivery straw tucked right over your shoulder.

Suppose you want clean and pure drinking water. In that case, for $17 (down from $40), UVBrite has a self-cleaning UV water bottle that purifies itself every six hours, ready for yet another batch of life-giving liquids.

If you had no idea that you could take advantage of Amazon Prime deals without actually being a member, now you do. Best of all, if you're into outdoor living, I'm sure there's something in this list to interest you. Just remember, the prices I mentioned do NOT include any shipping costs, but you get the idea.
