Alternative Spring Breaks

A spring break trip is not all about partying hearty at the beach. Another rewarding way to spend your spring break vacation week is to do some volunteering. An alternative spring breaks may in fact be the hottest thing going these days. You can still experience spring break sun and sand while engaging in home building projects or teaching kids. The options are endless. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization working in partnership with families and supervised volunteers to build homes in the U.S. and around the world. 

You don't need any special construction skills to volunteer; just go to their site to see where Habitat is building. It's not all work either -- volunteers often go on day trips or take in whatever interesting sightseeing the area they are working in has to offer. The American Hiking Society's Volunteer Vacations allow you to chop hundreds of trail miles if the wilderness and being active outdoors is your thing. Also check out the Break Away chapter on your campus. They have a database of over 350 nonprofits listing volunteer opportunities.

7 Destinations for Spring Travel That Are Actually Affordable

It's that time of year when our bodies and minds begin screaming for a vacation, unleashing a deep desire to defrost from the winter chill and all the burdens that come with it. While we'd argue there's never a bad time of the year to book that plane ticket—spring 2024 is looking like an especially good one.

That's because airfares are becoming much more affordable compared to last year; average airfares for March are down 3% compared to 2023, and April airline tickets are 8% cheaper than last year, according to data from travel search site Kayak .

While airfares are down across the board, some destinations offer a better deal than others. So, we asked travel search and booking sites for their latest intel on destinations where airfares are dropping for March and April. Whether you’re craving a beach getaway or you’re in need of a city visit to soak up art and culture, there’s an affordable spring destination for you.

Here are seven destinations—both international and domestic—you can visit this spring without blowing your travel budget, according to the latest data. From US and Canadian urban hubs to coastal getaways in Mexico , the Caribbean, and Central America , the results might surprise you.

Nashville, Tennessee

For a budget-friendly getaway this spring, consider heading to Nashville: Average airfare to the bustling country music haven is just $277 round-trip in March, according to Kayak's data. Aside from Honky Tonk Row, the famous lineup of live music joints and dance halls along Broadway, there’s plenty else to explore in Music City. Pop into the National Museum of African American Music or the Jefferson Street Sound Museum to learn about the history of the city’s Black music scene, then take a guided tour of RCA Studio B —where icons like Elvis recorded their albums—and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Where to stay: Check out our guides to the best hotels and Airbnbs in Nashville, from lively modern stays to historic boutique hotels like The Russell Nashville .

Take advantage of cheap airfare to Central America and enjoy a coastal getaway to Belize City.

Belize City, Belize

Airfares to Central America are down 11% from this time last year and down 6% from 2019, according to data from travel booking site Hopper , meaning the region is an ideal destination for a tropical vacation that won’t break the bank. Take advantage of the price drops by booking a flight to Belize City, where airfares are averaging $546 from the US, data from Priceline says. With your savings, continue onto a puddle-jumper flight to Placencia and book a suite at one of the luxe beachfront resorts on the peninsula.

Where to stay: Out of our readers' favorite hotels in Central America , 9 out of 20 are located in Belize, including Placencia's Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas .

Montréal, Canada

Looking to visit a city with a thriving culinary scene and plenty of art and culture? Book a visit to Montréal , where airfares for March are averaging only $361 roundtrip, Kayak says. Although March is still quite chilly in Québec’s largest city, the crowds will be much thinner compared to the warmer summer months. There are plenty of museums to tour, like the show-stopping Museum of Fine Arts, and quaint cafés to warm up in. Cozy winter attractions, like the iconic skating rink in the Esplanade Tranquille, are still on offer in March, and the month is prime sugar-shack season , when maple syrup is harvested and all things maple-flavored are featured on restaurant menus.

Where to stay: Check out our guide to the best hotels in Montréal , including creative haven Hotel Uville and the historic Le Saint-Sulpice Hôtel .

Guadalajara is home to a thriving design scene and walkable, picturesque streets lined with art galleries.

Guadalajara, Mexico

If you need a warm and sunny getaway, consider booking a flight to Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco. In March, the average temperature reaches a high of 85 degrees with practically no chance of rain—and the average airfare for March is cheap, currently clocking in at $336 roundtrip, according to Kayak. In Guadalajara, you can soak up the city’s thriving design scene with a walk through Calle Independencia, a picturesque, cobblestoned street lined with galleries and open to pedestrians only. The city also offers one of the best food scenes in Mexico : It’s the hometown of birria , slowly stewed tacos served with flavorful consommé. Jalisco is also the birthplace of tequila, so be sure to take a tasting tour through the area.

Where to stay: Check out our readers' 10 favorite hotels in Mexico . In Guadalajara, stay at the quirky Casa Fayette , located in its up-and-coming Lafayette arts district.

Tampa, Florida

Turquoise waters and white sand beaches are more accessible than ever, thanks to low airfares to Tampa, Florida . The average airfare to the city along the Gulf Coast is averaging $288 this spring, according to Priceline, and Kayak shows that 2024 prices are about 19% lower than last year’s. Spring is the perfect time to pay a visit to the city’s Manatee Viewing Center, when the docile sea cows migrate to the refuge’s warmer waters.

Where to stay: Check out our guide on where to eat, play, and stay in Tampa . Book a night at the relatively new Tampa Edition and pamper yourself at the property’s spa and rooftop pool.

St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands has some of the best beaches in the Caribbean—no passport required.

St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Caribbean islands are also within reach for budget-conscious travelers this spring, with airfares down 9% from this time last year, Hopper’s report says. St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands has hotel rates of $300 on average per night and flights as low as $184 round-trip on Hopper. Plus, no passport is required for US citizens. Stay on St. Thomas to enjoy some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and world-class snorkeling, or hop around to the other US Virgin Islands, St. John and St. Croix.

Where to stay: With the money you save on airfare, consider splurging on a stay at The Ritz Carlton for true island opulence.

Vancouver, Canada

If you can’t decide between an outdoor-focused getaway and a city-based vacation, Vancouver could be your perfect destination. The bustling city is nestled in natural splendor—plus, the average airfare for April is just $331 round-trip. It’s an ideal time to visit, as April is the start of whale watching season , when orcas, humpbacks, and gray whales begin returning to the waters just off the city’s coastline. To truly immerse yourself in nature, take a meandering hike through the dense and biodiverse Pacific Spirit Regional Park . It’s known for its towering evergreen trees, but in April, deciduous varieties like bitter cherry trees will be in bloom.

Where to stay: Check out our guide to the 15 best hotels in Vancouver , including Skwachàys Lodge , Canada’s first aboriginal boutique arts hotel.

Best inexpensive spring break destinations.

Spring breakers don't need to shell out a fortune to spend a week enjoying life in the sunshine. To get you all of the fun without all of the fees, U.S. News carefully considered lodging costs, atmosphere, free things to do and traveler votes (among other factors) to bring you the best inexpensive spring break destinations. Check out the full list below and vote for your favorites to help determine next year's ranking.

Panama City Beach

New orleans, south padre island, playa del carmen, outer banks, daytona beach, grand canyon national park, myrtle beach.

If you're willing to make the drive from Miami (you'll score cheaper flights into this airport), Key West can be an affordable place to spend spring break. This small island in the Florida Keys is known for its quirky residents and premier snorkeling opportunities. While you'll find plenty of spots for partying along rowdy Duval Street, you can also soak up some culture at the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. For free attractions, check out the Key West First Legal Rum Distillery and the Southernmost Point. Plus, Key West offers several budget-friendly vacation rentals, so you can save your cash for bars and boat tours.

Panama City Beach – or PCB, for short – is a tried-and-true Florida spring break location that is sure to please the masses. Scope out a spot across the town's 27 miles of white sand beaches to sunbathe, play volleyball or scan the horizon for bottlenose dolphins. You'll no doubt have to contend with hordes of college students while on your trip, but hotel prices are reasonable if you book your accommodations in advance. Just note: This town in northwest Florida bans alcohol consumption on the beach during March, so you'll have to enjoy your adult beverages elsewhere.

New Orleans is a prime spring break destination for those seeking epic nightlife mixed with tasty Southern comfort food . While airfare can be a bit expensive, hotel and vacation rental deals are available – especially if you stay a bit removed from the action of the French Quarter. Check the calendar to see when Mardi Gras occurs (the celebration falls 47 days before Easter every year) and try to plan your vacation around it. The popular event, which sometimes takes place during spring break season in early March, often causes airfare and lodging expenses to increase.

With hotels offering nightly rates around $200 or less and DJs and celebrities holding court at nightclubs, South Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination for college students. This South Texas locale is only about 30 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, meaning you'll get to enjoy warm weather without having to leave the country (average daytime temperatures range from the mid-70s to the low 80s in spring). As an added bonus, the island offers a free public shuttle system, so budget-conscious travelers won't have to worry about spending money on a rental car.

Situated on Mexico's eastern coast about 40 miles south of Cancun, Playa del Carmen offers multiple stretches of white sand, a lively nightlife scene and average highs in the mid-80s, making it perfect for a fun-filled yet relaxing spring break trip. Though you may have to deal with some crowds since it's such a popular destination come spring, you will at least be safe from the dreaded hurricane season, which takes place from June to September. Search for specific spring break all-inclusive resort deals for the best value lodging rates.

With sprawling beaches and ample low-cost accommodation options, the Outer Banks in North Carolina is an attractive spring break vacation spot. The limited hotel choices are all pretty affordable, and this area is known for its large vacation rental homes – including some that can accommodate 15 or more guests – which makes it a cost-effective option for large groups. Spring weather here varies: While it's often sunny, average temperatures can be anywhere in the 60s to low 70s. Cheap and fun activities on this chain of family-friendly barrier islands include mini-golf, fishing and relaxing on the beach.

Daytona Beach's spring break draw has to do with its ample amount of hotels (position yourself away from the shore or a few miles outside of the city for the best deals), its trademark Florida weather (which climbs into the 70s and 80s throughout March and April) and its 23 miles of beaches. Though you'll miss the city's main event, the Daytona 500, you can still take part in some smaller, more affordable racing-themed festivities, including several that are part of Daytona Bike Week, which takes place from early to mid-March.

As the first (and longest) island of the Florida Keys, Key Largo appeals to spring breakers who want a getaway that feels off-the-beaten-track without having to travel too far to get it. Sitting less than 60 miles south of Miami (don't miss a stop at Everglades National Park along the way), this idyllic island enjoys little precipitation and balmy temperatures in the 70s in March, perfect for exploring John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on a snorkeling excursion. While March's influx of tourists drives up hotel prices, you can save some coin by splitting the room rate with friends and booking your accommodations far in advance.

For West Coast spring breakers looking to relax in the sun without paying an arm and a leg for airfare, San Diego is a great place to vacation on a budget. It's home to 70 miles of beaches , gorgeous parks and pockets of nightlife, plus scenic neighborhoods like La Jolla and Seaport Village that are free to explore. March and April weather is mild (average temperatures hover in the 60s during the day), but hotel rates won't yet be at their priciest. You'll also get to experience Instagram-worthy flower fields blooming all across the city, from Balboa Park to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Outdoor lovers who are looking for an alternative spring break experience can plan a budget-friendly trip to Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park. Accommodations here are cheap: You can camp for a nominal fee or rent an affordable cabin or recreational vehicle that can accommodate a large group. However, you'll want to book well in advance for this popular time of year. Spring is also an excellent time to see this impressive natural wonder thanks to comfortable daytime temps that fluctuate between the 50s and 70s in March and April. Visitors can enjoy everything from hiking to biking around the South Rim.

Thanks to its plethora of affordable oceanfront hotels, 60 miles of beaches (though the ocean will still be too chilly for swimming) and proximity to many major East Coast cities, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a great choice for budget-conscious travelers. From lively nightlife options to parties hosted by big-name DJs, this South Carolina town offers the classic spring break experience. If you're traveling with a large group, consider renting a house for more space and a full-size kitchen. Use the money you save on accommodations to purchase a Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach day pass or catch a show at the Alabama Theatre.

March: Best Cheap Spring Vacations

Southern california.

Take your pick among Anaheim, Los Angeles, Orange County, Newport Beach, Palm Springs, or even San Diego—historically, all of these SoCal hotspots make for a cheap springtime getaway when you look at average round-trip airfare and nightly hotel rates.

Historical spring temperature averages show a good chance at warm weather to enjoy the beaches, amusement parks, and hotel pools before the summer heat sets in. For the best spring travel prices, avoid peak travel dates like school breaks and popular music festivals. Spring also brings wildflower season (blooms vary year-to-year) to destinations like Palos Verdes , Antelope Valley , and Malibu .

Southeast asia.

While you’ll miss the crowds of foreigners by coming in the spring, you won’t miss out on local festivals and attractions. Saving money is a big perk of spring travel to Southeast Asia, too. Hotels reduce rates, airfare prices drop, and vacation packages may be hundreds less.

Take Bali for example: You’ll be able to explore Bali’s wild interior and witness locals performing traditional music and creating art with little competition from other tourists. Other Southeast Asia hotspots that make for a cheap spring break include Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Malaysia. For savings on Southeast Asia trips in spring, check tour operators like G Adventures and Intrepid Travel .

South America

South America’s Southern Hemisphere location means it experiences fall during the Northern Hemisphere’s spring, with many of its countries offering pleasant temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Although spring weather is preferable to the area’s cooler winter (our summer), fewer tourists from the north visit at this time. So, if you can break away from work or school a little earlier than everyone else, you can take advantage of better weather and lower prices.

Consider a trip to Argentina, where the peso typically fluctuates in favor of the U.S. dollar. Capital city Buenos Aires boasts a strong European flavor, with cobbled streets, chic restaurants, festivals, and a lively atmosphere. Make the most of your time on the continent and extend your trip to Patagonia and Chile.

For a beach spring break trip, look to affordable Colombia, Guyana, and Brazil, particularly Sao Paulo .

April: best cheap spring vacations.

Costa Rica’s high season stretches into April, but if you can wait to visit the Central American country until late in the month, or even in May or June, you’ll find deals worth your while. Expect savings on airfare starting in mid-April, and similar trends at hotels and resorts.

The trade-off? More rain, though the tropical showers are often limited to afternoon or evening. And more than in other destinations, Costa Rica’s “green season” actually has a following of visitors who prefer the lush landscapes and smaller crowds of the spring and summer months. It really is the perfect backdrop for zip-lining in the Cloud Forest or spotting three-toed sloths.

7 Bucket-List-Worthy Ways to Experience Ecotourism in Costa Rica

While Hawaii never really experiences a low season, winter and summer tend to be more popular times to visit the islands, so the spring (as well as the fall) tends to be a cheaper season to come. And, the weather between April and June is actually better than the in winter, with less rainfall and pleasant temperatures ranging from about 68 to 86 degrees. In springtime, water temps are higher and the waves are calmer.

Accordng to the  Hawaii  Visitors  and  Convention  Bureau , spring airfares average about half the price of summer or winter airfare, and hotel rates drop $15 to $20 per night. Plus, thanks to plenty of new air routes, you have more nonstop flight options than ever before to get here. Now all you have to do is decide which Hawaiian island you should visit for a spring vacation.

This Is the Best Time of Year to Visit Hawaii

Lounging on beach, surfing, and exploring the islands’ undersea and volcanic wonders are always in season, but visit in the spring to see unique events like the Big Island’s Merrie Monarch Festival in April, and the Waikiki Spam Jam (Oahu). Check out this article for more springtime events in Hawaii .

Check Prices for Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach in Honolulu

Another destination with almost guaranteed cheap airfare this time of year is Florida. Of course, you’ll want to avoid peak travel dates to amusement parks and cities like Orlando, but in general, round-trip flights to Florida can be inexpensive this time of year.

Consider a trip to Miami, where you can compare flight deals to both Miami and nearby Fort Lauderdale. If you’re renting a car, you can search for Florida flight deals farther afield: West Palm Beach Airport is about two hours away and sometimes yields better prices.

Pro Savings Tip:  Instead of staying on South Beach, stay downtown to avoid the Miami Beach resort tax.

Or plan a cheap spring vacation to Florida to a lesser-known destination. With a top-rated beach, cute surrounding towns, and access to nature activities like forest walking trails and kayaking, Navarre Beach is an underrated Floridian spring break spot.

The caribbean.

Off-peak but not off the radar—that’s the case for most of the Caribbean in spring. Starting in mid-April or early May, prices for airfare and hotels drop after the winter high season. Since hurricane season doesn’t officially begin until June, there’s a window of fantastic beach weather and good prices. Check CheapCaribbean.com and cruise lines for last-minute deals.

Based on past years’ trends, stand-out destinations in the Caribbean for a cheap spring break vacation include Cancun (and most of Mexico), the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. Check out our hotel finds in the Caribbean with nightly rates under $100.

May: Best Cheap Spring Vacations

The pacific northwest.

If Seattle or Portland are on your bucket list, spring is one of the most affordable times to experience either or both. Especially, if you make the most of these cheap airfares and go road-tripping. 

For spring events in the Pacific Northwest, you can travel for the  Portland  Rose  Festival ,  Seattle  Restaurant  Week ,  Emerald  City  ComicCon , and the  University  District  Street  Fair .

Shoulder season also brings deals to both the city of Vancouver and its alpine neighbor, Whistler Blackcomb. From cherry blossom spotting to spring skiing, there are plenty of reason to book an affordable spring break to these two British Columbia destinations.

Also, don’t discount “second cities” like Mesa. Popular spring activities in Mesa include hiking in the Tonto National Forest , tubing on the Lower Salt River (public access starts in May), exploring the  Fresh  Foodie  Trail , and visiting the  Mesa  Arts  Center . Mesa’s tourism board has tons of  budget-friendly  itineraries  to help you plan your perfect spring break. You can even glamp in a vintage Airstream trailer on a peach farm, at Schnepf Farms . Mesa Airport serves over 45 nonstop destinations, so if Phoenix fares are high, consider flying to Mesa instead.

Where to go cruising in spring: alaska.

According to our sister site, Cruise Critic , cruising in Alaska in May is the best time to save. This is right after the ships arrive in the region to start the busy season, which kicks off in early summer. While you might luck out with less rain during May, the temperatures are still a bit cool.

Bonus Affordable Spring Destination

Spring is one of the best times to visit this North African country. Even as early as mid-March, the weather can be mild and dry—ideal for market wandering and desert camping.

With so much at your fingertips, you’ll have a tough time convincing yourself to hit the Strip.

At less than $600 from several major U.S. cities, the best part of this deal is the bang for your buck. Travelers departing Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami can book this flight and hotel deal on Expedia from March 28 to March 31.

It’s Christmas in July! At least, that’s what Amazon wants you to believe. Amazon Prime Day, an annual two-day sale of products for Prime subscription members, has turned into a commercial holiday for many companies — even travel service providers. Airlines, cruises and rental car companies are piggybacking on the buying frenzy, offering a slate of deals for travelers.

And you might not even have to wait until July 16 and 17. Some early Prime Day travel deals are already up on Amazon.

Here are some of the best 2024 Prime Day travel deals we’ve seen so far:

Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airlines has partnered with Amazon for an early Prime Day deal: 50% off of buying Southwest Rapid Rewards points. With this discount, the cost per point equals NerdWallet’s valuations .

These are the second most valuable U.S. airline miles. Expect each point to cost and be worth about 1.5 cents when redeeming them for award flights. Since the sale essentially lets you buy points at face value, this would be an excellent time to top off your Rapid Rewards account if you don’t already have a Southwest credit card or a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve® (which earns Chase Ultimate Rewards® points that transfer to Southwest).

Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line is giving Prime members up to 40% off and reduced deposits per person, starting at $50. At the time of writing, we found 4-day Caribbean cruises starting at $334 per person for double occupancy staterooms. This is part of Prime Day’s early deals, so you can start booking your Carnival Cruise now.

Rental cars

Avis , Sixt and Turo are also participating in early Prime Day deals. Avis is offering up to 30% off car rentals booked through the Amazon Prime Day travel deals page and a gift card worth 10%. Meanwhile, Sixt is offering up to 15% off, and the Turo deals vary by host.

You might even be able to use this sale to help you decide on where to go. Turo recently unveiled a new “Anywhere” feature that lets you choose a dream rental car first and then narrow down your destination .

Experiences

Tour operator Viator is offering 10% off select travel experiences. Book through the Amazon Prime Day travel deals page.

How to maximize your rewards

You want a travel credit card that prioritizes what’s important to you. Here are some of the best travel credit cards of 2024 :

The Ossipee Valley Fair starts today and runs through Sunday. We especially love the Farmer Olympics because the hay bale toss and blind wheelbarrow obstacle course competition is fierce. Ray Routhier has details about Ossipee Valley and several others fairs happening this summer in Bangor, Waterville and Acton, among other locales.

Need a break from standard-issue hot dogs? We love them too, but sometimes a new twist is just what your taste buds need. Ray Routhier stopped by Gunnar’s Icelandic Hot Dogs cart . If you like what you read, you can find it parked from 4-9 p.m. Thursday at Apres in Portland, then on the roof of Bayside Bowl on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Yuoto Waist Pack With Water Bottle Holder

Extra storage is always in style, especially when it's equipped with a handy holder for your water bottle. Grab this multipurpose hiking waist pack while it's on sale for $17. 

Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket

Deals on Rumpl gear don't happen often, so if I were you, I'd jump on this up-to-40-percent-off discount on the brand's iconic Original Puffy Blanket. Only select colors are on sale, but at this price, any one of them will do — hurry, they're selling out fast. 

Best Early Prime Day Hiking Gear and Accessory Deals

Whether you're a new hiker or have hundreds of miles under your belt, you can find everything you need during Amazon's early Prime Day sale event. Trekology Collapsible Nordic hiking poles are 33 percent off and provide the right amount of support on technical trails or uneven surfaces and this waterproof solar power bank from Durecopow , also 33 percent off thanks to an on-site coupon, keeps your devices charged and connected for that extra peace of mind.

Trekology Trekking Poles Collapsible Nordic Hiking Poles

Allow me to let you in a little secret: hiking poles. Even the most experienced trekkers have a pair in their pack, and that's because they provide unmatched stability on uneven terrain and also alleviate pressure on your joints as you make your way up and down the trail. Don't miss this chance to get the top-selling Trekology set for $44. 

Osprey Sportlite 15L Hiking Backpack

Osprey packs are the crème de la crème of hiking backpacks, and they hardly ever go on sale. Right now, you can grab the Sportlite 15L model for as little as $70; the surprisingly spacious bag is stocked with functional pockets and storage features, as well as a cushy foam frame sheet that promotes airflow so an achy, sweaty back won't stop you from reaching the top of the trail. 

Best Early Prime Day Women’s Hiking Apparel Deals

Take it from me, wearing the right hiking clothes can make a difference when you spend time outdoors. They not only keep you covered but also feature cooling, quick-drying, and durable materials to keep you comfortable, no matter the weather or trail conditions. Keep your eye on the Baleaf Women's Hiking Pants , which are lightweight, water-resistant, and elastic-waisted cargo pants on sale for 34 percent off. Columbia's Sandy River Shorts are 50 percent off and come in many different colors and helm lengths, and the Toumett Women's UPF 50 Long-sleeve UV Sun Protection Safari Shirts are 15 percent off so you can safely spend hours out in the sun.

Libin Women's Cargo Joggers

When you're backpacking, you'll need clothes that work double duty to save space. That's why I love versatile pieces like these Libin Cargo Joggers, which are on sale for $35 ahead of Prime Day. They're perfect for the trail and are relaxed enough to be worn on travel days or as pajamas if needed.  

Toumett Women's Long-sleeve UPF 50 Sun Protection Safari Shirt

The same goes for this long-sleeve sun shirt from Toumett. Its UPF 50+ protective fabric and quick-drying capabilities will keep you comfy on the trail, and it can be dressed up to wear on a flight or out to dinner. It can make a great swim cover-up if you decide to take a dip during your trek.

Eddie Bauer Men's Rainier Shorts

Every trekker needs apparel that won't give up on them, and these Rainer Shorts from Eddie Bauer are some of the toughest out there. They're equipped with the brand's signature StormRepel water-resistant finish, Flexion Stretch woven technology for optimal mobility, FreeShade 50+ UPF sun protection, and anti-odor Polygiene technology in the waistband (which comes in handy if you have to re-wear them). 

Roadbox Men's UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Shirt

A sun shirt will get used all year round, so why not refresh your closet with this best-selling Roadbox one while it's on sale for 50 percent off? It's available in 14 colors and can easily pass as an everyday shirt if you're in a pinch. When your summer adventures bring you to the water, you can also wear this as a rashguard.

Successful hikes require having the right footwear, especially for those long treks over rough terrain. Nobody wants uncomfortable shoes when you are miles away from civilization with no help in sight. That's why you've got to check out these deals from some of the best hiking shoe brands — like 42 percent off these Merrell Men's Moab 3 Hiking Boots or 35 percent off the Keen Women's Circadia Low-height Comfortable Waterproof Hiking Shoes .

Loowoko 50L Hiking Backpack With Raincover

A quality pack is a camping essential — how else are you going to get everything to the campground? The best-selling waterproof hiking backpack has earned high praise from outdoor enthusiasts, including one who said they were able to fit "three days’ worth of clothes [and] a two-person tent" inside the "really impressive" pack for a multi-day camping trip in Upstate New York. 

Lepro Collapsible LED Camping Lantern

Functional and compact gadgets always make the top of my packing list, which is why I'm eyeing this deal on the Lepro Collapsible Camping Lanterns. They illuminate any campground with ease and won't take up much room in your bag with their space-saving design. And, when you're not camping, they'll come in handy in your backyard when you're entertaining and need more light.

Best Early Prime Day Camping Tent Deals

Camping tents are your home away from home in the great outdoors, offering shelter from the elements and a comforting place to rest. Choose one that's spacious enough for your group, easy to set up, and durable against wind and rain for a worry-free night under the stars. Right now, you can score big savings on quality models like the Campros CP 8-person Camping Tent , which is perfect for large groups and is 32 percent off. The backpacking-ready Clostnature Crux Lightweight Tent is sporting a good discount as well, but if you're in the market for luxury, check out the Outsunny Elevated Tent , which comes with a folding camp cot and sleeping bag and is a rare 16 percent off during the Amazon early Prime Day sale.

• Night Cat Instant Pop-up 2-person Camping Tent , $85 (originally $110)

Campros CP Tent 8-person Camping Tent

Large camping tents are investment purchases, but now's your chance to snag this one from Campros for $136 ahead of Prime Day. Its classic design is fortified with the brand's high-tech coating material and it even has a tall, 72-inch center height so there's more room to move around. 

Night Cat Instant Pop-up 2-person Camping Tent

When the agenda calls for simplicity, you'll be happy that you have this instant, two-person tent ready to go. According to one reviewer , it popped up and was anchored in "under one minute."  

Best Early Prime Day Camping Bedding Deals

And while you are at it, don't forget to add a comfy sleeping bag and a well-cushioned sleeping pad to your camping packing list. Plenty of top-rated options are discounted during this early sale, like the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket , which is 40 percent off in select colors and selling out fast.

Mereza Double Sleeping Bag With Pillows

This two-person is a no-brainer if you're camping with a partner, but it's also a major hack for solo campers as it ensures you have ample space to spread out under the stars. It even comes with a set of pillows! 

Moxils Ultralight Inflatable Sleeping Pad With Built-in Pump

The less gear you need to pack, the better. Here, you get a comfy, inflatable sleeping pad to catch some Zs without lugging around an air pump. In their review, an Amazon shopper quipped that they slept "even better" on this sleeping pad "than [in] my bed, which is memory foam and supposedly a good mattress." They were also impressed that it "takes all of about one minute to pump it up" and that they "never had to re-pump in the middle of the night."
