When it comes to lighting your campsite at night, there are plenty of options. Part pragmatic, part fun, camp lighting not only allows you to see at night but can add to the adventure and create ambience.
The Bass Shops’ selection of tents is divided into three categories: family camping, hunt camp and adventure camp. The attributes, features, and pricing of the tents in each category largely reflect their function.
Pairing the right tent with your needs can greatly enhance your camping experience. What follows is our recommendations on choosing the right tent for you.
The right seating can mean the difference between a comfortable camping experience and one that is not. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s offer a line up camping seating options that cover all the bases.
Finding the right camping chair options is an exercise in balancing what you’d like to spend with the attributes you need. If you plan to backpack into the backcountry, you’ll likely opt for an adventure camp chair that is light weight and compactible (able to be stored and carried in a small package).
No matter if you're staying at your favorite campground or deep in the backcountry, your tent is your home away from home. And the right tent can make your stay more enjoyable. Whether this is your first tent or you're looking to upgrade, there are a few things to consider when choosing which tent to buy. Let's take a look at some things to consider.

Even if you’ve camped a hundred times before, it’s always a good idea to create a checklist for your next outing – especially if it’s the first of the camping season.
Is there anything nastier than slurping down mold chunks and slime-water from the hydration bladder that has been sitting in the trunk for a couple of weeks? Probably, but we do not want to think about it.
Sure summertime is the classic time to go camping, but don't forget about the other three seasons. Each one presents its own unique experience, and challenges. Take spring for example. Sure the weather changes on a whim, but April, May and June are also the best months to watch Mother Nature's wonders as they wake up. Dogwoods are blooming, turkeys gobbling and the crappie are there in the shallows waiting to be caught.
I'd never been one for camping cots, mostly because I'd never tried one that was comfortable. I'm a side sleeper, and the few times I slept on one, my knees, shoulders and head were constantly banging into the rails. Of course, there were lots of times when I wished I'd been off the ground...like when I was hobbling around Yosemite in one of those "walking boot" leg casts that made getting up and down from my sleeping pad a painful experience.
If your outdoor adventure doesn’t involve returning to a hotel or your own home each night, then that means you’re camping out. And unless you’re some masochist on a starvation plan, then it also means meals out.
