Holiday deals for motocamping lovers - 2023 edition
Happy Thanksgiving, CAMPers and friends. I hope you spend a great day with whomever you choose!
Motocamping season seems far away, but I promise you it is not. That's why, as I do every year, I have compiled below a list of some Black Friday deals I came across in the motocamping world: I have divided them in camping and moto related gears, although there is some overlap. Some deals are already live, some will allegedly come live for Black Friday proper. I have indicated which is which.
This year I am not going to list any deal from the big guys, like REI, Cabela’s, Moosejaw, Backcountry. You can find those easily enough, if that’s what you are after. If you find something on there you like, may I recommend you check with Moto Camp Nerd before you pull the trigger? CAMP members get 15% off with them, and free shipping always, and you would be helping a small business.
Please note: this website has no commercial affiliation with any of the vendors mentioned below, and we get absolutely nothing in return if you buy any of these things (clearly this is not true for Temple of Moto, which is my own company: CAMP members get 50% off the Temple of Moto American Southwest Basecamp Tour, scheduled for June 26-30, 2024. All info on that deal is here!).
Finally, don't forget to buy a ticket for for our CAMP Raffle and to come to our Christmas Party on December 15th. The Info on how to get a ticket and about the prizes is at this link. We will give all proceeds above $1,000 to Gigi’s Playhouse Chicago, a non profit helping kids with Down syndrome.
CAMPING DEALS
Our friends at Moto Camp Nerd have a sale going on many of their camping items, from tents to sleeping pads, from cooking utensils to chairs. Perhaps they have what you don’t even know you want or need - Have a look here. One thing that stands out for me it that they have the Garmin In Reach mini 25% off, at $299, here. They also now carry base layers and camping jackets of several brands. Even if you what you want isn’t on sale, CAMP members get 15% off. And speaking of: if you are a CAMP member, don’t forget to input the discount code you have at checkout. It may not change the price of the products, but you will have free shipping regardless of the amount you spent, and it will give the folks at MCN a way to track where buyers are coming from.
If you are into the whole minimalistic camp stove things, Firebox stoves are currently on a (minor) sale, here.
Looking for a sleeping bag or a quilt? Zenbivy has a sail that will start on November 24th, here. Sierra Design also has a 25% sale on any full priced product - their zipless sleeping bags are actually very cool. Here.

Cardo is supposed to come up with more sales over the next few hours. Just keep on looking at their website if you have something specific in mind.
I mentioned the deal on the Garmin Mini 2 above.
