Known for offering solid discounts on premium outdoor gear, clothing, and accessories, CampSaver tends to take a slightly different approach to Black Friday compared to other retailers. Rather than spreading deals across several days or weeks, CampSaver focuses on one key day: Black Friday itself. If you’re planning to shop there this year, here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect—including when to shop, what to buy, and how to make the most of your savings.
Likely Start & End Dates for the 2025 Sale
While some early deals usually start to trickle in during Thanksgiving week, CampSaver’s main Black Friday event is expected to run for one day only—on Friday, November 28, 2025. The sale typically ends at 11:59 PM Mountain Time that day.
Some smaller pre-Black Friday promotions may show up early in the week leading up to the event, but the deepest discounts tend to be reserved for Friday itself.
Discount Levels and Promo Codes to Expect
If the structure follows what we saw last year, there will likely be two main promo codes offered during the Black Friday event. Each will apply to a different category of products:
-
Promo Code “BFDEALA” (last year): Gave shoppers 25% off one full-price item. This was especially useful if you had your eye on a higher-end product that rarely goes on sale.
-
Promo Code “BFDEALB” (last year): Offered 20% off all Outlet products. Outlet items are typically already marked down, so the extra discount helped bring prices even lower.
Both codes came with a number of restrictions, and it’s safe to assume the same limitations will apply this year. Here’s what you should know based on last year’s fine print:
-
The promo codes do not apply to shipping, taxes, or gift card purchases.
-
Only one promo code could be used per order.
-
Codes couldn’t be combined with other discounts or promotions.
-
Certain brands and products were excluded, especially those labeled as Blazin’ Deals, Clearance, On Sale, or Final Sale.
-
Items purchased as Final Sale were not eligible for returns or exchanges.
While these terms might seem restrictive, they’re in line with what other outdoor retailers do during peak sale events. Brands like Patagonia, Arc’teryx, and The North Face often have their own restrictions around discounting, so if you’re targeting those, it’s good to double-check product eligibility before getting too excited about the coupons.
Flash Deals and Limited-Time Offers
One of the more dynamic aspects of CampSaver’s Black Friday promotion is the daily Flash Deals. These typically highlight specific products or categories with especially steep discounts, often while supplies last. If the pattern continues, these flash offers will be updated periodically during Thanksgiving week, with new deals featured on Black Friday itself.
These aren’t usually advertised far in advance, which means you’ll need to keep checking the site—or sign up for CampSaver’s email alerts—if you want a shot at the best items. Once a flash deal sells out, that’s it. And since these deals can’t be combined with other promos, you’ll need to decide whether to use a flash price or one of the sitewide codes.
Shipping, Returns, and Restrictions
CampSaver usually offers free shipping on orders over $49, though that minimum might vary slightly depending on your location or any promotional updates they issue during Black Friday.
As far as returns go, it’s important to remember that Final Sale items can’t be returned or exchanged. Most full-price and outlet items can be returned if needed, but always double-check the return policy during promotions. Sometimes, holiday purchases get extended return windows, but that’s not always a guarantee.
