You can find a variety of storage bags for camping chairs and equipment. These bags come in a variety of prices, from affordable and cheap to expensive and premium designed for outdoor use.

Car-camping gear bag are light and compact. This makes them an excellent choice for campers who do not mind carrying their equipment, or those who wish to avoid the size and weight restrictions of checked luggage. There are many sizes available so it's easy for you to find one that suits your needs.

Most of these camping gear sacks are made of lightweight materials that don't add much bulk to your pack or vehicle, but they are still built to last and can be a useful addition for longer trips. Some of them are even designed for use as a camping chair, so that you can enjoy your favorite outdoors activities while on the go!

A sleeping bag is an essential piece to your camping gear that can make or break a trip. We have seen many high-end models, both in the mid-range or top-end, come on the markets recently. These bags include features such as pillow sleeves with integrated blankets, pockets inside for small items (like headlamps), draft tubes at the collar, and pockets for storage.


REI Co-op's Siesta is a great choice because of its warmth and low price. It has a comfortable "relaxed mummy" shape that trims away material at the shoulders, hips, and feet to minimize cold spots and maximize comfort. You will be snug with the insulated shoulder straps and cinchable hood.

REI Co-op HunkerDown 20 is a great option for those who want to use it as a tent or sleeping bag. It's roomy and comfortable, and it has a full suite of functionality, including an oversized hood that can accommodate a standard pillow and a wraparound zipper that allows you to open up the top layer as a light summer quilt.

The NEMO Forte is a fantastic choice for a wide range adventure, since it can double as a sleeping bag and a tent. You can choose from a 20-degree version for backpacking in the middle of summer, or a 32 degree version for warmer conditions.

The majority of these bags are intended for three season camping. But it's worth checking your destination's temperature rating. It can be very helpful to keep warm even in the winter with a quality down-filled bag. The North Face's The One bag ($300), features a synthetic outer bag, and a down middlelayer. You can use them separately in different weather conditions to create the perfect sleeping environment.
