Black Friday camping deals: get the biggest savings on the best gear

Black Friday is coming up soon and you're in the market for new camping equipment, we suggest you get in on some of the amazing deals this season. Advnture provides a one-stop shop for your Black Friday camping deals, scouring the web for the best deals on tents, stoves, sleeping bags and pads and more. 

Black Friday in 2021 will be on November 26, but most offers will run until the following Cyber Monday, and we're making it a priority to  keep you up to date with the latest and greatest deals. Read on to learn all about Black Friday, the best deal and start saving.

When is Black Friday?

In 2021 Black Friday will take place on November 26, and Cyber Monday will follow on November 29. As consumers have come to expect, many retailers will be offering substantial deals that you won't find at any other time of year. The best items to shop for on Black Friday are so-called "big ticket" items like camping equipment where you're likely to see the biggest savings.

When do Black Friday camping deals begin?

Gone are the days when Black Friday was a single-day, panic-inducing event. Black Friday camping deals almost always last at least through the following Monday, and some retailers have stretched it out into a month-long offer. This means that camping deals can crop up around the start of November or the end of October. 

And if you're after discounts on other outdoor equipment, check out our Black Friday hiking deals and Black Friday hiking boot deals.

How long do Black Friday camping deals last?

It depends, really. Just as pinning down a start date is tricky, the end point is just as ambiguous. Discounts on camping gear will be available until the end of Cyber Monday, but some products will only be reduced for a limited time in the form of flash sales. The best advice we have is figure out exactly what you're looking for and keep checking this page regularly for the best deals.

What products are discounted on Black Friday?

You can expect discounts on almost every type of camping equipment on Black Friday. Our previous experience of sourcing deals for Amazon Prime Day revealed that a range of items come crashing down in price, such as tents, camping stoves and sleeping bags and pads.

The whole Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend will be awash with deals, so where you're only looking for one specific product, like a new tent, or just browsing, there's bound to be something that will catch your eye. We'll be updating this page with the best offers over the course of the event, so make sure you bookmark this page and check back regularly to grab the juiciest discounts.
