We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A deluxe eight-person tent so luxurious, it's basically a house. But a house one person could set up in less than an hour, so it might in fact be better than a house.
2. A bottle of water shield spray because there's nothing like the sheer power of being able to waterproof things. Your boots, jacket, tent, and more will thank you.
3. A cot bunk bed set that can also transform into a couch for the daytime. No need to waste time or space on carrying extra seating!
4. A zero degree sleeping bag to keep you warm and cozy in temperatures that most people don't even want to go on a walk in, let alone go camping in.
5. A quick-inflating airbed because there's nothing worse than waiting for a bed to inflate after a long, strenuous day. And as a bonus, it can do double duty for guests and sleepovers in the great indoors, as well.
6. A mini rechargeable lantern that'll provide tons of light but won't take up tons of space in your pack. And you won't have to worry about constantly replacing bulky batteries, either.
7. A mosquito repellent to keep you save from itchy bites, without all the fuss and smell of a spray or a candle.
8. A Yeti mug that may not be as practical as one of their water bottles, but is just as (if not more) essential for caffeine addicts. That morning coffee is even more necessary after sleeping outside.
9. A double-gated carabiner because you can always find a use for a carabiner. Whether you're a hardcore climber or just clipping your water bottle on to your bag, you'll be glad you had one on hand.
10. A ceramic water filter so you don't have to lug clean water to your campsite — just filter when you get there, and you'll be good to go.
11. A propane camp stove because who even needs a campfire? With this puppy you can cook just like you would at home, no problem.
12. An outdoor lounge chair so you can sit like royalty, no matter where you are. Plus, it doesn't just have cupholders, it has a whole tray. That's luxury.
13. An ultralight medical kit because it's always better safe than sorry. Hopefully you never need this, but you'll be glad you have it.
14. A portable toilet that might get you some snooty looks from people who really love roughing it, but you can stay secure in the knowledge that you didn't have to bury your poop and they did.
15. An all-weather notebook perfect for keeping all your notes, sketches, and more safe in even the toughest conditions.
16. A two-person survival blanket that's great for keeping warm in unexpected chills, emergency situations, or just when you forgot a real one. TBH it's a good idea to get a second one of these for your car.
17. A North Face backpack equally suited to carrying school books and carrying camping gear. Plus, it's super ergonomic, so you won't have to worry about back pain in either situation.
18. A portable camp kitchen that's basically no different than having your regular kitchen, just outside. Get ready to whip up some amazingly gourmet meals in the Great Outdoors.
19. A double hammock perfect for lounging, sleeping, and more— all in a conveniently light, foldable package.
20. A backpacking tent that's the ultimate in simplicity — no bells and whistles, just enough space for two people and a ton of mesh windows to look at the stars.
21. A rechargeable headlamp with a suuuuuper slim profile, so you won't have to worry about bonking a bulky light on every surface imaginable while you try to find things at night.
