The Best Car Camping Gear Under $100

I love car camping because it’s one of the few opportunities in the outdoors to give efficiency the middle finger. For most adventures, I’m shaving a few grams wherever I can, optimizing storage space, and constantly making decisions about what stays and what goes. Car camping? Nope, I’m not doing any of that. If it fits in the car, it’s coming with me.
It’s a chance to bring all the little bits and bobs you’re normally forced to leave behind, turningn your campsite into a camp home. However, what you soon find out when you adopt the “going overboard” mindset is that car camping gets expensive, fast. A couple of clicks later, and you’ve dropped $1,000 on a fancy camp mattress and a veritable backcountry mansion to put it in.
If your wallet has taken a hit on big ticket luxuries, we’ve got your back: fill up the rest of the nooks and crannies of your car with these car camping accessories that all come in under $100. Spend wisely and you’ll still have some cash left over for a Wagyu steak and a nice bottle of wine to celebrate getting out of the house and into the wild.
