Get up to 50% off on camping essentials from tents to coolers this week at Amazon
Check out the best camping gear deals the week of August 15 to get you prepped for fall adventures.
While some of us area heading back to school soon, others will take to the outdoors. Fall is one of the best times to head outside. Not only do the summer crowds vanish, the temperature drops back into a range that's comfortable to be outside all day. It also means you might be able to snag that camping reservation you've been hoping would open up.
Spending time in the great outdoors comes with the need for some great gear. You'll want to cover some bases before setting out, like having a reliably weatherproof tent and a cozy sleeping setup.

If your collection of camping gear could use a tune up, we're seeing some great deals at Amazon during the week of Aug. 15. Here are some of our favorites:
Best tent deal
Why we like it
If you're taking the whole family camping, you'll want somewhere cozy and spacious to sleep. Sleeping up to eight people, the Coleman Evanston Screened Camping Tent impresses in functionality with a budget-friendly price. Thanks to today's sale price, you can grab the tent for just $138.28, down from the list price of $289.99. That's a massive 52% discount.
One of the highlights of the Coleman Evanston tent is the screened-in porch, allowing you to still feel the joys out being outside without having to deal with all the bugs. Measuring about six feet tall in the center, all but the tallest family members won't have to duck once they're inside. There's also an included rainfly should the forecast look like you might get some soggy weather.
Coleman says the Evanston takes about 15 minutes to set up, so you might need to pack a bit of patience, but the payoff of having a great and affordable shelter is probably well worth it.
Best cooler deal
Why we like it
A hot meal off the campfire is arguably one of the best parts of camping. To keep your food chilled all weekend, pack into the Igloo 110-quart Glide Cooler, which is on sale for $129.99 in the white colorway.
With a telescoping handle and soft-ride wheels, you'll be fully mobile when it comes to getting the food from the car to the campsite. The Igloo cooler uses Ultratherm foam insulation for keeping ice cold longer, and the 100-quart capacity means you can pack along up to 168 cans.
Stainless-steel hinges also add to this models' durability. Plus, is there any better seat in the house besides on top of the cooler?
Best portable Bluetooth speaker deal
Why we like it
All good camping adventures need some great tunes. But you don't want to lug along a heavy speaker that'll take up precious space in your backpack. Instead, pack along the Soundcore Motion 300 Bluetooth speaker that's currently on sale for just $59.99, down from the list price of $79.99.
You'll get up to 13 hours of listening time with one charge on the Soundcore Motion 300, which could be great if you'll be camping off-grid. It also comes with a detachable strap so you can hang it off your tent and keep it off the table while camping. Plus, it has a IPX7 waterproof rating, so you don't have to worry if it gets a bit damp in the (inevitable) rain or gets splashed if you take it down to the lake.
Best backpacking deal
Why we like it
Hydration is key on pretty much any adventure, and while you're out camping, you might not have easy access to freshly filtered water. While the lake might look incredibly clear, there could be some undesirable things in that water. Keep yourself safely hydrated with the LifeStraw Go Series Water Filter Bottle. Thanks to today's deal at Amazon, the Laguna Teal bottle can come along on your next adventure for only $43.99, which is a 12% discount off the usual price of $49.99.
The LifeStraw filter inside the 1-liter water bottle filters out 99.99% of undesirable bacteria like E. Coli and Salmonella. It also rids your drinking water from parasites that you really don't want to ingest, like Giardia. Plus, it takes care of sand and dirt because who likes gritty water?
Packing along the LifeStraw water bottle will mean you can refill from any stream, lake, or glacier on your route. It's also excellent when traveling in countries where it's not safe to drink the tap water.
