Packing for a camping trip can be intimidating, which is why we make it easy with our camping packages! We've grouped together everything you need for a trip off the grid - we're talkin' tents, sleeping bags and pads, power stations, lanterns, coolers, furniture, and even gear for the ultimate camp kitchen. Of course, all our camp gear rentals are available a la carte as well, so you can build your own camping package too! Visit our Novato store or reserve your camping rentals online today. All rentals can be found in our rentals department in the back right corner of the store (except racquet sports).
Online reservations have a minimum lead time to ensure your gear will be available at the store you choose. Many same-day rentals are available in store, but the selection may be limited.

At big National Parks like Yosemite, reservations open can anywhere from 1 to 5 months in advance..."
