Just because the big Labor Day sales are over doesn’t mean you can’t score great deals on quality outdoor gear. Retailers like REI, Backcountry, and even Amazon continue to slash prices on everything from backpacks to lightweight jackets and even multi-tools after the holiday. But some of the biggest discounts can be found at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and one of the best for fall car camping or overlanding is this popular Marmot tent, which is half off and definitely a bargain.
The Marmot Pacifica 6-Person Tent is now on sale for just $220—50% off its regular price of $439. This spacious tent has a near-perfect rating after 15 votes from campers who say it’s “high-quality,” “the materials are very sturdy,” and “easy to put together.” And if you need something a little lighter, it’s also available in a 4-person size for $175, half off the original price.

Large tents like this are great for car camping or overland travel because they offer plenty of space. It’s not quite ready to take on a 50-mile backpacking trip, but it still weighs only about 6 pounds, which is pretty lightweight for a 6-person tent. Other great features of this inexpensive yet quality tent include multiple interior pockets for storing essentials, a lampshade pocket for storing a headlamp or flashlight, and double doors with two large vestibules to keep dirty or wet gear safe outside. There’s also taped seams on the rainfly and a chain-cut base to help keep water out. Color-coded aluminum poles and a clip-and-cover combination make setting up the tent a breeze, and the no-rattle zipper won’t wake your sleeping buddies.
Shoppers are thrilled with how sturdy and easy this tent is to set up. “This tent is great,” one shopper gushed. “I bought this for a family camping trip and it was very spacious! It has a little pocket-like spot to put a lamp to light the tent and a spot to hang a lamp. The tent was easy to set up too!”

Another camper who was caught in a sudden snowstorm was glad they bought the Marmot because it was sturdy enough to withstand the storm. “We had an unexpected snowstorm while camping. This tent held up to the wind and snow. We got about 3 inches of snow overnight and stayed 100% dry.”
Marmot has been making quality camping gear for decades, and this tent is just one example of how the brand translates its years of knowledge and experience into high-quality, affordable products. The sale on this Pacifica 6-Person Tent has brought that price down even further, making it a great deal at just $220. Be sure to jump on this super-low price before other lucky fall campers snap it up, because they’re going to sell out soon.
