Odoland Portable LED Camping Lantern with Ceiling Fan
A lantern is a must for any camping trip or nighttime summer adventure. This two-in-one portable lantern has 18 LED bulbs to light the way for up to 37 hours and a built-in fan to keep you cool on hot summer nights. The lantern’s 360-degree rotation and collapsible design allow for easy hanging, and because it runs on D-cell batteries, you don’t need to worry about cords or making sure it’s charged. “This was so great for the last camping trip. I sleep hot, and the fan is not loud,” one shopper wrote. “The hanging hook was perfect for using the light, but for the fan, I used it on the ground, and it’s flexible enough to do that.”

Vignuto Portable Shower for Camping
Anyone who’s been camping knows the first thing you miss is a warm shower. Amazon shoppers have added this portable shower to their camping supply list in droves, and now it’s on sale. It works by pumping water from an included foldable bucket, which it sends up a pipe and streams out from the showerhead. The shower can run for up to 150 minutes on a single charge and has an LED digital display for easy control. Shoppers love that it charges via a USB port, so you can plug it into anything that’s handy, like a portable charger or your laptop. (Bonus tip: The shower can also be used to bathe pets and wash your car!)

Cliganic 10-Pack Mosquito Repellent Bracelets
You should never go without sunscreen or mosquito repellent while camping. But if the thought of spraying (and smelling) traditional bug sprays has you avoiding it at all costs, you’ll want to grab these DEET-free mosquito repellent bracelets instead. Whether camping or just lounging around your backyard, the best-selling bracelets use citronella, geranium, and lemongrass oils to keep mosquitoes away. Shoppers say they’re stretchy and comfortable and “work just as well as old-fashioned spray.”

Gootop Bug Zapper
More than 50,000 units of this best-selling bug zapper have been purchased in just the last month. Calling it a “must-have for summer,” shoppers say it’s effective at killing all kinds of flying insects and that it even starts working immediately. Currently 43 percent off, the zapper uses light to attract pests, then a high-voltage electric grid zaps them on contact. It has a coverage area of half an acre and weighs just over 2 pounds, so it’s easy to hang practically anywhere, including on a tent.
