Camping season doesn’t end just because summer does. As the temperatures drop, weekends fill with apple picking, football tailgates, and those crisp, cozy evenings around the campfire.
Each year, RV Miles shares a Costco camping gear roundup for spring, but this fall lineup is packed with new deals and handy finds that work for campers, road trippers, tailgaters, and RVers alike. This year, the game plan was simple: highlight top finds for any outdoor enthusiast, then wrap up with RV essentials. See all of these gadgets in the video at the end of this post.
Fresh deals on insect protection
Don’t let mosquitoes and gnats ruin your next bonfire. Deals at Costco for fall include:
• Deep Woods Off! Dry: Comes in a powder formula (two 6-oz. bottles and one 4-oz., despite appearances). Priced at $17.99, it’s a dollar less than spring and beats prices found elsewhere.
• Off! Citronella 3-wick candles: A 2-pack for $19.99. That’s a bargain compared to $13 for a single similar candle at Home Depot.
• Zevo Flying Insect Traps: Two devices and six refills for $31.99—plug in and let them do the work.
Campsite gear
Campers need gear that holds up and doesn’t break the bank.
• Lifetime 6-Foot Folding Table ($59.99): Reliable as ever, same price as last year and comparable with other retailers. Not the cheapest, but tough and dependable.
• Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles ($25): Nearly impossible to beat this price—other brands cost at least $40. Lightweight, strong, and ready for rugged hikes.
• Rinsekit Pro: Every outdoor trip ends with someone covered in mud. Rinsekit Pro is a 3.5-gallon, battery-powered portable shower. It’s an RV Miles favorite after powering through a Baja to Alaska adventure. The battery lasts through several uses, and there’s an optional water heater. Now at Costco for just $99.97 (down from $250 nearly everywhere).
• Jetson Fat Tire Folding E-Bike ($800) and Compact Jetson Bike ($550): Deep discounts compared to usual prices, but shoppers should read reviews before deciding.
Smart campsite storage
Organization makes packing and unpacking a breeze.
• Iris Weather Pro 44 Qt. Containers: Compact size, weather-tight with a built-in seal, and a steal at $6.49 each.
• Greenmade Multi-storage Crates: Four stackable ammo-can style bins that snap together in a tray ($19.99). Great for stashing tools, art supplies, camp kitchen gear, or snacks.
• 3M Command Strips and Hooks: Multi-packs at $11.99, exclusive to Costco, great for hanging towels and keeping items steady on bumpy roads.
• Non-Slip Flocked Hangers (50-pack, $11.99): Prevents clothing from sliding around, slimmer design saves closet space.
• Collapsible Laundry Baskets ($10.99): Easy to stash out of sight, perfect for small spaces.
• OXO Vertical Paper Towel Holder ($16.99): Spring-loaded hold-down keeps rolls tight on the road.
Cooking and food prep
• Thermoplast 40 oz. Stainless Steel Bottles: 2-pack for $19.99, comes in several colors.
• Manna 64 oz. Growler/Jug (with four 12-oz. cups): Keeps drinks cold for 34 hours ($24.99).
• Ninja Portable Blender Kit: Two rechargeable blender bases and two cups for $59.99, perfect for smoothie lovers and anyone needing portable blending.
• Blackstone 20-inch Camping Griddle Bundle ($229): Includes all the extras, but the nonstick aluminum surface is not for everyone.
• Core 13×13 Silver-Coated Canopy ($169): Reflects sunlight, easy setup, still under most competitors’ prices.
• Glad Takeaway Containers (35-pack) ($7.99): Stackable, reusable, microwave and freezer safe – saves hassle and plastic waste.
• Swedish Dishcloths (12-pack) and Evergrace Cloths (12-pack): Reusable, washable alternatives to paper towels for $9.99.
• Dawn Power Wash Spray Bundle: Cuts down on rinse water ($12.99 for sprayer and refill).
Lighting and power solutions
Keep the campground bright and devices charged.
• Duracell 4-pack 1,500 Lumen Flashlights ($36.99): Rechargeable or battery-operated, heavy-duty.
• Lumen Infiniti X1 Flashlight ($39.99): Powerful, 7,000 lumens, can charge a phone; 2,000 more lumens than last spring.
• Duracell Rechargeable Lantern (with solar panel) ($30): Charges devices, bright enough for big spaces.
• Anker MagGo Power Banks (2-pack, 5,000 mAh each) ($39.99): Wireless and USB-C charging, comes with a built-in kickstand.
• EcoFlow River 3 Portable Power Station Bundle ($199): Battery charger and inverter, includes two removable battery packs, powering up to 1,200 watts.
• 48-ft. LED String Lights ($29.99) and 50-ft. Strand ($21.99): Weatherproof, handy around sites, removable bulbs for easy swapping, but they do need a standard power outlet.
Outdoor audio options
Sound matters at a tailgate or cookout.
• JBL Charge 5 Speaker ($130): Waterproof with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, standard pricing.
• Soundcore Boom V2 ($69.99): Waterproof and floats, strong sound on a budget.
• Soundcore Select for Go 2-Pack ($39.99): Waterproof, floatable, and a good deal if you need two.
Costco: The RVer’s secret weapon
Costco is a one-stop shop for food staples, perfect for feeding a group at the campsite. Bulk deals on hot dogs, pancake mix, and ground beef make meal planning simple and budget-friendly.
Fall camping doesn’t have to cost a fortune. These Costco deals make getting outside easier, more comfortable, and a lot more fun.

Thanks for the good ideas complete with special cautions. Much appreciated
Thank you for noting and summarizing the video, Cheri! My goodness what a long list. Sadly, none for us. Our nearest Costco is uncomfortably crowded on its lightest days. I cannot imagine how it must be on its most-crowded days. Consequently, no membership for us. Have a great week and safe travels!
