"GREAT cooler!" a delighted camper reported. "Packed it up for camping Friday morning and it still had about half of the ice was still there when we unpacked it Monday night. When we pulled the eggs out on Saturday morning they were actually frozen and had to thaw a bit before we could cook breakfast....so don't put those right next to a block of ice in this thing!"

"This worked really well on our patio!" raved a happy reviewer. We used it before a small outdoor party. It kept the mosquitos away all night. I would definitely use it again. I’d recommend this for people who want to celebrate outside in wooded areas."

Formulated to use on your face, it's great for all skin types. It's infused with a blend of green tea and sunflower seed oil to hydrate, soothe and protect your skin.

Whether you're new to camping or you just don't like setting up a tent, the instant setup feature is a major selling point for this tent. It's also more than 50% off, in case you're on the fence about adding it to your cart.

"I wanted a tent that I could easily set up by myself for solo camping trips," wrote a thrill seeker. "This tent has exceeded all of my expectations!! I’ve used it several times this summer and it has done wonderfully in all climates. It’s been through a summer downpour with extreme winds and I stayed dry and the tent didn’t budge with the wind. Very water resistant and weatherproof! This is one of my all time favorite purchases and the best part is I can get it back into the bag all on my own. Which makes camping much easier."

This lightweight camping chair has full seat support and a back rest that can handle up to 250 pounds. It folds up for convenience and comes with a carrying bag.

Make sure everyone has a seat around the campfire with a deal on this lightweight camping chair. It's equipped with a cup holder for your beverage and a seat back pocket to hold all your other essentials.

"These chairs are awesome!" wrote a delighted shopper. "I was looking for something lower to the ground and a little more comfortable than the regular fold-up camp chairs and these fit the bill perfectly. Also, the attached cup holder is a bonus! It pivots under the chair if you're not using it and it is big enough to put a coffee tumbler in. We loved these chairs and can't wait to use them all summer long!"

This easy to install light goes inside a cooler, ice chest or tackle box. It turns on when you raise the lid and turns off when it's closed.
$10 at Amazon

Without city lights, it can get pretty dark when you're in the wilderness. This light is used to illuminate things like coolers and tool boxes. It attaches to the lid and lights up when the lid is lifted and shuts off when it's closed. It makes getting a cold one out after dark much, much easier.

"I just got back from a 2 night camping trip and this light was clutch!" wrote a happy camper. "I remembered my head lamp but my friends didn't, so this was so awesome. I know, it's just a little light in the ice chest. But it lights up bright enough to see at night. turns off when you shut the lid, and if for some reason you open the lid and forget to close it again for a while the light shuts itself off after like 5-10 seconds so you're not murdering the battery (which is replaceable by the way). Would definitely recommend, and might purchase as a stocking stuffer for my camping friends."
