Renting camping and backpacking gear in Phoenix helps travelers prepare for outdoor trips without buying equipment that may only be used occasionally. Some trips stay within the Southwest, while others involve longer drives or flights to major public lands. With more than 22 years of rental experience, LowerGear makes trip preparation simpler and more flexible.
See All Rental GearOur rental inventory includes tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, camp cooking gear, navigation tools, lighting, and accessories. Brands commonly available include Osprey, MSR, Big Agnes, and Gregory. All rental equipment is professionally cleaned, inspected, and prepared before every rental.
Many travelers plan trips that involve driving or flying to major public lands such as Grand Canyon National Park. For longer destination trips, renters also travel to places like Zion National Park, where shipping gear ahead of time can simplify logistics.
