I was first introduced to Campmor by my fellow campers on one of my camping email lists. They have an incredible selection of just about everything you could ever want or need in outdoor gear - and much more than just camping gear!
There are categories at the Campmor online store for bicyclists, climbers, skiers, snowboarders, snorkling, in addition to the camping, backpacking, and hiking gear. In addition, there is a great selection of clothing available. They carry name brands such as Coleman, Columbia Sportswear, Eureka, Intex, High Sierra, Kelty, and North Face, so there are no questions in my mind as to the quality of the merchandise.
The site is easy to navigate. A list of categories is on the left. In the center are highlighted items or items that are currently on sale. To the right are current links; in the late spring or early summer there might be a link for summer camp items. During the fall and early winter, you might find skiing and snowboarding links here. New additions are also highlighted here, along with gift certificates.
The search engine works very well. I have used it to find a particular item I am looking for. I have never not gotten a hit on my first try. There is also the ability to search by brand, so if you want to look for items from the Coleman brand, for example, it is easy to see exactly what the store carries.
There is a link on the right side of the page to join the Trail Mail list. This will enable you to receive mailings which highlight sales the store is having. This is something I am grateful for as that is what initiated my latest order. A printed catalog is also available, although it is not in color. For this reason, I do prefer the website as color pictures accompany most listings.
Most recently, Campmor had a sale on Russell Athletic clothing. Women's tank tops and 2-pocket shorts were on sale for $3.97 each. This was a great price! There were many other items at a great price in the Russell Athletic line of clothing. I also found a Timex watch which is water resistant to 50 meters for $19.97. A Columbia Sportswear brand hooded waterproof parka for my toddler for next winter was only $34.96!
I have found that the prices at Campmor are wonderful and I haven't been able to find anyplace with lower prices. From clothing to camp gear, I have been completely satisfied with the prices. Campmor gives a one year guarantee on all items it sells, except in regard to normal wear and tear. Simply return (at your own expense) with a letter explaining the problem and advise if you are looking for a refund, exchange or repair.
Campmor provides a link to make a $2 donation to The Appalachian Trail Conference Land Trust which is dedicated to the preservation of The Appalachian Trail.
Standard shipping from Campmor is $5.50 for items up to $30. Over that amount it is $7.50. Those were the charges on my over $100 in merchandise, and I received the package in two days. I haven't yet had an order take more than three days to arrive.
