As your mobile shelter, whether for family camping or wild camping and backpacking, tents are a significant and crucial investment. Here at LFTO, we are tracking the best Black Friday deals on tents and recommending them here.
Camping is about civilised simplicity, and you can adjust the dial on that as you please, from wild camping with a tarp through to glamping.
Whatever your camping style preference, attaining the gear you want is often an expensive exercise. That's where Black Friday can come in handy.
We appreciate Black Friday is a shopaholic's dream and isn't for everyone. But if there is a tent or other piece of camping equipment you've been hankering after but couldn't stomach the price of, this could be your moment to pounce on the deals available.

When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday 2024 begins on 28 November 2025 and finishes on 1 December 2025.
However, retailers will begin Black Friday sales earlier and earlier so that many now run throughout most of November. This means there is ample opportunity to get in on deals early.

Our top tips for coping with Black Friday:
Sign up for newsletters and updates
They might clog up your inbox for the rest of the year, but you’ll find that newsletters will bring you discounts and alerts about bargains before anything else.
You can also sign up to the LFTO Newsletter, where we'll keep you to date with our 'best of' articles and Black Friday deals.
Stick to your budget
You might be tempted into all and every deal that you see on Black Friday, but set a budget and stick to it. Experts also say that you should use a credit card (it’s the safest way to pay, as the bank will end up footing the bill if there is any kind of mishap).
Stick around afterwards...
Previously, waiting until Black Friday was one of the best strategies for saving money on big-ticket items, but recent years have taught us that many of the biggest online sales will come under the 'Cyber Monday' banner, which can last until the end of November. So, always keep your eyes peeled, the bargain hunt isn't quite over yet.
