Scoring A Tent: Try The Coleman Sundome For Less Than $100
Coleman is known for being the ultimate in outdoor gear, mainly for camping. Coleman tents are long-lasting, versatile, and pretty budget-friendly compared to the competition. At the moment, the Sundome tent is not only sitting at a great price, but it's also one of the top-rated on Amazon. It's a good starter tent but also great for short-term camping trips, regardless of your experience level.
Or, A Combo Campsite Deal For Less Than $200
Amazon plays a host to combo tent deals, and this one, by Ozark, for example, is a 22-piece combo set that's going for $196. With free shipping, that is one whopper of a deal. Everything - from sleeping bags to outdoor chairs and even pillows - is included in that price, and it's not just Amazon that's selling the whole-package goods.
A quick search on Google for "camping combos" can bring up some decent options for those looking to make minimal work of a camping shopping list.
