About CORE Equipment
Camping tents, canopies, and outdoor gear built for backyard-to-campsite use is the focus — this is a brand aimed at casual campers and tailgaters rather than serious backcountry hikers. Big box stores like Costco carry a lot of the lineup too.
The return process charges a handling fee of up to $20 for shipping the item back, which eats into a refund on lower-priced items more than pricier ones. Choosing store credit instead of cash avoids that fee altogether. It's a practical pick if you need reliable, affordable gear for car camping rather than ultralight or technical equipment.
What they sell
- Camping tents and instant canopies
- Folding chairs and portable tables
- Sleeping bags and camp bedding
