Camping deals continue to drop like autumn leaves, which means finding major savings on all sorts of cool gear. Outdoor destination REI has a top-rated but inexpensive sleeping pad on sale while Amazon has marked down a handful of pocket knives from Victorinox, Kershaw, and other brands by as much as half. For those in search of a durable and weather-resistant shelter that won’t break the bank, Dick’s is the place to look, because one of its top-selling 4-person tents just got its price reduced to less than $100.
The Quest Redwood 4-Person Tent is on sale for $98, which is 35% off of the regular price of $150. The durable and roomy tent has a solid 4.8-star rating at Dick’s, and most reviewers praise its design for being “very easy to assemble” and “high quality.” If you’re looking for a similar tent but need a larger size, this 6-person tent is also on sale and is just $130 right now.

These days, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a quality tent that can stand up to bad weather. This tent uses taped seams on the durable and reinforced floor material to keep pooling water from rain showers out as well as on the rainfly to shed heavy downpours. The freestanding tent has three shock-corded poles that click quickly into clips for fast set-up and take-down. The tent body is mostly mesh, allowing for increased breathability, and vents on the rainfly help keep inner tent moisture away during the night. Plenty of internal pockets and a gear loft provide spots for organizing small bits of gear and a port allows for running an extension cord inside to power up devices. It is fairly heavy and bulky at 13.2 pounds, so save this one for overlanding or car camping.
Happy campers loved that the tent held up in the rain and didn’t leak, even though it was inexpensive. “It ended up storming relentlessly and we didn’t experience a single drop, I was completely amazed,” a shopper said. Another shopper added, “When we were caught in a few storms, the tent kept us nice and dry—no leaks at all.” They also liked that the rainfly provided a vestibule, noting that it “had room for our two chairs…so while it rained we were able to sit outside of our tent but still be safe from it.”

Other shoppers liked that the tent was roomy and easy to put up and take down. One said it was “easy to set up with plenty of room for four or more people.” Another was impressed with the quality: “Very impressed with the craftsmanship of the tent. The actual material is thick, making it much harder for any types of accidental rips to occur.”
Having proper, high-quality shelter when camping can turn a stormy, sopping-wet night into a cozy escape from the rain, which is why this tent should be on your car camping gear list. Not only have happy customers praised its ability to hold up to showers and wind, but it’s durable and easy to assemble—all for just under $100. If you’re in the market for a new car camping tent, jump on this screaming deal soon, they are bound to sell out at any time.
