Top Camping Gear At Walmart For Under $100 - Under $50 - Under $20

If you are anything like me, you want an affordable camping product while still having a product that will last for many years. We find basically everything we need at our local Walmart and here are some of my favorite items so far:

The Coleman 6 Person Clip and Camp Dome Tent, Only $79.00.

CAMPING GEAR UNDER $10.00

This adorable mint headlamp by Ozark Trail is just adorable for under $2.00, it is sure to be a handy addition to your camping gear. It is so important to have several flashlights with you when camping and this one is perfect as a backup light. It would also be just perfect for children or for a great gift.

Mint Headlamp - ONLY $1.88 at Walmart.

We also got ourselves the below two headlamps so far they have been great. Top headlamp is the Ozark Trail 100 Lumens Headlamp for only $3.98 with also comes with batteries. The bottom headlamp is the Ozark Trail 500 Lumens Headlamp which was almost too bright and still only $8.97, but great if you will be in complete dark or just prefer to be able to see further ahead.

Below, this sweet Kids’ Camping Chair is so adorable in Mint!! Great choice for only $9.88 at Walmart.

Kids Camping Chair in Mint. Only $9.88 at Walmart, Ozark Trail.

Lightweight Day Pack Backpack for Only $4.98! I got myself one of these and use it almost every day now. This bag is great for waking the dogs to hold water bottles, or for running everyday errands. It is just perfect.

CAMPING GEAR UNDER $50.00

We have weighed the options with every single portable camping air pump and always come back to this one. It is the only one that plugs into your car AC adapter (aka the lighter thingie), and works well to blow up our giant air mattress pretty quickly. Find this at Walmart for only $13.88. This has been our most useful piece of camping equipment because it also blows up our inner tubes!!!

Below is a camping chair that I have always wanted!! It has a cooler bag on the side and I just LOVE the color of these lime green colored Adult Camping Chairs. Find them at Walmart for only $24.98.

Lime Green Camping Chair With Cooler - ONLY $24.98 at Walmart.

The below set of reusable camping cook wear is also something I never leave home without for a camping trip. These are also good for road trips and other adventures too. The utensils are very strong, and won’t bend and the collapsible bowls make the perfect addition to any campfire dinner. Find it at Walmart for only $17.97, which beats having to buy a package of single use products for each item provided here. Don’t forget the biodegradable soap!

CAMPING GEAR UNDER $100.00

We just purchased THIS TENT from Ozark Trail and WE LOVE IT SO MUCH! I love how tall it is, so I can stand up and change clothes easily. This will be easy to setup now that we had some practice. Our Queen Air Mattress fit perfectly inside of it (thankfully it fits THROUGH the door, because our smaller tent had a very small door and the mattress did not fit like it does in this one. The pups still had tons of room at the foot of the air mattress to be able to sleep comfortable. We had a fantastic night’s sleep in this tent and would recommend it to anyone! It fit two us adults and two dogs just perfectly.

Ozark Trail 6-Man Clip and Camp Dome Tent at Walmart - $79.

Get yourself a good night’s rest with THIS Coleman 22” Tritech Queen Air Mattress, shown below. DO NOT FORGET YOUR AIR PUMP (we use this one here)! You will not believe how difficult it is to find the ONE AND ONLY style of air mattress that does not require DD batteries OR does not plug in for a power source. We found this one worked with our handheld air pump that has the car charger included. This one is a winner.

Below, this Coleman Triton 2 Burner Camping Stove has also been wonderful. It’s nice to use when it is either too wet or too hot to make a campfire. The new model of the Coleman camping stove is also super easy to clean. ON SALE NOW FOR $104.51 at Walmart. Don’t forget your Propane Gas for the stove, found here.

Best Women's Hiking and Adventure Shoes & Boots from Zappos 2024

You may be asking yourself what a good pair of women’s hiking boots really looks like. You may take a look at your own outdoor adventure and hiking needs and read the list below to find a few of my favorite hiking boots found on Zappos.com.

Hiking at Pinnicle Mountain in Arkansas.

I have hiked at least a thousand or more miles in the past decade across many parts of the United States. I have experience in hiking on almost every type of trail imaginable, and often times, we bushwack through the woods with NO TRAIL AT ALL. These boots should hold up to even the toughest environments.

And remember, always make sure you keep your shoes in a dry place and ensure you set them in the sun after they have been soaked, to insure both the interior and exterior stay mold free, etc. Keeping hiking boots dry also helps the glues and materials to stay in tact rather than deteriorating from being wet and stored improperly.

All boots and shoes listed below are under $200.00. Yes that may sound like a lot but in reality, these boots should last you 5-10 years, so a good investment now enable syou to get out, get active, and get HEALTHY and not have to worry about spraining your ankle, stepping into unsavory terrain, or getting your feet soaked because your shoes are not waterproof. Yes, I have experienced every one of these situatins in the middle of the deep woods where you cannot just go change your shoes.

Some of the styles shown here are good for a more rugged hike, and some are better for general adventuring and light hiking on concrete or gravel. Most are still all waterproof AND BREATHABLE though, which is still recommended no matter what. So, head over to Zappos.com to see all their Women’s Hiking Boots here.

LOOK FOR THESE FEATURES WHEN SHOPPING FOR WOMEN’S HIKING SHOES OR BOOTS:

  • Good ankle support. Good laces.

  • High ankle features ar preferred for uneven terrain, wet terrain, and unknown terrain.

  • Select low top hiking boots for flat, smooth, even terrain that would be dry like concrete, gravel, and pavement.

  • WATERPROOF GTX (GORTEX) is breathable and a good choice for both wet and dry terrains.

  • Vibram soles are a plus.

  • Luckily, companies like Free People are considering these SUPER fashionable and finally catching onto the fact that people actually want to be able to use the goods and that they can promote healthy lifestyles.

AWESOME HIKING BOOTS FOR WOMEN:

La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Boot - Women's

I have personally purchased three pairs of these amazing hiking boots - see image of me in them above. I finally decided on these after ordering then returning 5 other pairs some years ago. So, these have been great in so many rugged terrains, and they don’t have to be broken in, even. They are comfortable and super supportive right off the bat. I had their blue/grey color way before, but not that I have had the tan/black/red design shown here for a couple years, I believe it matches more outfits since it has black. The first pair below is from backcountry.com, but the other shoes featured here are all from Zappos.com.

The Original Muck Boot Company Muckster Ii Mid (Blue/Quilted Floral) Women's Shoes

To be honest, in addition to my hiking boots, I never leave home without some rubber boots too. I have hiked more miles in my rubber boots than I have in any other pair of boots ever. I went through TWO pair of Hinter Rubber Boots, and yes some models re comfortable, but they are not really intended for deep woods hiking or creek crossings like a more rugged rubber boot would provide for you.

Teva Grandview GTX (Thyme) Women's Shoes

I almost purchased these, but opted to go for the ones above instead. It was a VERY difficult choice, since I just adore the design below more because it is lower scale and matched way more outfits. TEVA is still an excellent choice for cute hiking boots.

That wraps up sharing a few of my favorite hiking boots for women for 2024. There are endless options, but if you purchase a cheap pair of hiking and adventuring boots instead of investing in a decent pair, you may miss out on experiencing the joy of what a nice pair of hiking boots can truly do for you and your health. When your shoes feel great, it encourages you to want to go outside more often! ENJOY, FRIENDS!!
