51 Best Amazon October Prime Day Camping and Hiking Deals

Some people park in their garages — I’m not one of them. My rusty, but reliable, Subaru is parked on the street, while my garbage is filled with my most important belongings including my growing collection of hiking and camping gear. 

Now, I’m going to have to make room for even more items because Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is here (it’s taking place today, October 8 through October 9). While long ago, Amazon only carried books, these days it’s the mother lode for all things outdoors. Which is good news for those of us who love to explore (in fact, I’m heading out camping in the Serengeti at Singita Explore soon), because this October Amazon Prime Day is the best time to save up big on must-have hiking and camping gear.

Best Amazon Hiking Gear Deals

Compared to other outdoor hobbies, hiking is relatively affordable. Still, high-quality gear comes at a cost. Amazon has hundreds, if not thousands, of serious markdowns on hiking gear during Prime Day, from name brands like Osprey, Yeti, Smith, and OtterBox. You’ll also find must-have accessories starting at just $8. Pro tip: use the money you save to treat yourself to an AllTrails+ subscription ($36) which gives you access to offline maps and keeps you on course thanks to its wrong turn alerts. Thank me later!

• Osprey Tempest 20L Women’s Hiking Backpack, $110 (originally $160)
• OtterBox iPhone Pro Max Defender Series Case, $36 (originally $60)
• Smith Lowdown 2 Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses, $140 (originally $205)
• Yeti Rambler Vacuum-insulated Water Bottle, $44 (originally $55)
• Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Hiking & Trekking Poles, $44 (originally $66)

• Repel 100 Insect Repellent Pump Spray, 4 Ounces, $8 (originally $17) 

Cliganic 10-pack DEET-free Mosquito Repellent Bracelets

I don’t care if I have to wear these mosquito-repellent bracelets on the plane because my bags are too full. I’m not leaving for my next trip — Tanzania, where malaria is a risk — without them. With more than 20,000 sold in the last month, they’re an Amazon top-seller beloved by hikers who call them a “must-have” and a “lifesaver.” 

Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Hiking & Trekking Poles

If you’re not using trekking poles on long or steep hikes, you’re doing yourself a serious disservice. Not only do they provide immediate stability, but they also reduce your chances of getting injured long-term because they take pressure off your knees, especially on downhill sections. These collapsible poles are Amazon’s best-selling trekking poles, and despite only weighing 11.5 ounces each, they’re made of an air-space grade aluminum that can bear hundreds of pounds. 

Best Amazon Hiking Clothing Deals

Although it’s important to be discerning when deciding what to wear out in the elements, creating the perfect hiking capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to cost hundreds of dollars — especially if you take advantage of these deals. For example, save 60 percent on this fitted full-zip jacket with more than 5,300 five-star ratings, or stock up on these high-quality hiking socks for less than $4 a pair. Personally, I’m eyeing this North Face jacket with the industry’s finest Polartec fleece that starts at just $54. 

• Columbia Women’s Switchback III Jacket, $35 (originally $60)
• Baleaf Women’s Hiking Pants, $38 (originally $56)

Automet Women’s Half Zip Cropped Pullover Fleece

With more than 3,000 purchases in the last month, this cute cropped half-zip is ranked number one on Amazon’s list of Women’s Fashion Sweatshirts. I like it because it’s a “trail-to-town” piece that works well with high-rise hiking leggings. And of course, it gets serious bonus points for the oversized kangaroo pocket where you can keep your small valuables or your hands if they get cold. “Looks great, cute, stylish, minimalist, good quality, comfortable checks off all the boxes!!!” wrote one satisfied shopper who deemed it the “holy grail of tops.” 

Libin Women’s Cargo Joggers

While they don’t have the steepest discount on this list, these lightweight, quick-dry hiking pants with nearly 12,000 five-star ratings are at the top of my list. I got my first pair in 2022 when I needed bottoms I could hike in everywhere from Machu Picchu to Mozambique. Between their five pockets and their UPF 50+ rating, let’s just say I had plenty of storage and never suffered from sunburned legs. One five-star reviewer who called these their “favorite hike pant” said that they’re “comfortable without causing excess heat” and that the elastic ankles kept them “safe from ticks and other biting insects.” 

Best Amazon Hiking Shoe Deals

While I applaud the “Barefoot Sisters” who hiked the entire Appalachian trail sans shoes, I’m never breaking up with my Merrell Moab 3 Mid hiking boots. Currently, you can grab the shoe for as low as $80 at Amazon, depending on the size and color. One reviewer who wished they had them years ago said they wore them comfortably on a three-week vacation spanning four states and six national parks. There are also several Columbia hiking boots on sale, like the Newton Ridge shoes that are 24 percent off.

• Merrell Women’s Moab 3 Shoe, $85 (originally $120) 
• Columbia Women’s Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Hiking Boot, $47 (originally $100) 
• Columbia Women’s Newton Ridge Lightweight Waterproof Shoe, $76 (originally $100) 
• Merrell Women’s Moab 2 Waterproof Mid Boot, $90 (originally $145) 
• Keen Women’s Terradora 2 Waterproof Low-height Hiking Shoes, $76 (originally $155) 
• Ariat Women’s Terrain, $80 (originally $120)

• Asics Women’s Gel-Venture 9 Trail Running Shoe, $60 (originally $80)

• Keen Women’s Targhee 3 Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots, $76 (originally $165) 
• Timberland Women’s Mt Maddsen Mid Leather Waterproof Hiking Boot, $70 (originally $120) 

Keen Women’s Terradora 2 Waterproof Low-height Hiking Shoes

At 51 percent off, this waterproof Keen shoe is one of the best deals I found. Unlike heavy boots, it has a low profile which keeps it lightweight. That said, it still boasts multi-directional lugs which provide generous grip. When it comes to hiking on uneven terrain or slippery surfaces, the traction on these boots will keep you from falling and help you forge ahead with confidence. “They stick to everything,” raved one happy shopper. “And they practically spring you into your next step.” 

Columbia Women’s Newton Ridge Lightweight Waterproof Shoe

This bestseller from Columbia also boasts more than 20,000 five-star ratings. It’s made of 100 percent leather which means it might require some breaking in, but the good news is that it’s also 100 percent waterproof. Plus, leather boots tend to last longer than synthetic boots. Still on the fence? Check out this five-star review left by a shopper who wore them to climb Mount Kilimanjaro: “Great ankle support, lightweight, water/mud proof, extremely durable, and best of all very comfortable!” 

Best Amazon Camping Gear Deals

After Labor Day, I like to take inventory to see if I need to replace any of the gear I used for summer camping before I use it for fall camping, too. Of course, I also like to take advantage of shoulder season sales, which is why these Amazon camping gear deals are a must-shop for any camper. They include 37 percent off a top-selling tent and essentials like these popular LED lanterns (more than 3,000 were sold in the last month) which are currently an incredible 73 percent off.

• Mission Mountain Ultralight Folding Camping Chair, $40 (originally $70) 
• Rechargeable LED Camping Lanterns 2-pack, $27 (originally $100) 
• Camp Chef Lumberjack Over Fire Grill, $29 (originally $39) 
• Allen Sports Deluxe 2-bike Trunk Mount Rack, $45 (originally $60)

• Pohaku 13-in-1 Multitool, $18 (originally $29) 

Rumpl The NanoLoft Puffy Blanket

If a thief breaks into my garage, I won’t be surprised if they run past my pricy Specialized Roubaix SL8 Pro road bike and head straight for my collection of Rumpl blankets. These camp-friendly blankets are a game-changer: water, dirt, sand, stains, pet hair, you name it — the machine-washable polyester repels it all. Plus, it has a clip, so it can be worn as a cape for hands-free use; when I’m by the fire, both of my hands are usually wielding marshmallow roasting sticks. 

Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler

When it comes to coolers, Yeti is a popular go-to because of the brand’s superior cooling properties and impressive durable construction. Plenty of campers who cook up delicious meals at their campsites rely on Yeti coolers to keep their food cold, and the Roadie Cooler is a great option for a one- or two-night trip. It can hold just enough drinks, food, and ice without requiring you to haul a huge cooler. And for $50 off, the price can’t be beat.
