Smooth and reasonably-priced equipment rentals. I was a little apprehensive about renting a sleeping bag (could be gross inside; you never know) but it was clean and had a distinctly neutral and inoffensive smell, which was far better than my own bodys condition after the end of a whole days hike. The packs, sleeping bags and pads my group rented was in good condition, with no notable signs of wear or damage.The shop itself is efficiently laid out and is a nice alternative to bigger stores for camping essentials.One thing to keep in mind is that pack rain covers are rented separately from backpacks, so be sure to get both if needed.

I had a great experience renting gear from outdoors geek. Super easy process, great gear that allowed me to check out a national park without having to buy a bunch of gear I won’t use.

Before I planned our family trip to Yellowstone, I didn’t even know such a service existed! We were delighted with the service from beginning to end. We got the Yellowstone package which has a tent that fits the 8x8’ footprint limit that Grant Campground sets. All of the equipment (tent, chairs, table, cooking set, mattress pads, sleeping bags) were clean and in good condition. We bought our own propane and firewood, and brought cutting board, knife, and eating utensils. They provide a spatula and cooking spoon… I wish we had thought to pack our cooking tongs. We are not experienced campers so we appreciated that the tent came with instructions printed on the bag label. The cooking stove didn’t come with step by step instructions, so you may want to check that out before you end up in Yellowstone without cell service. The mattress pads do require inflating and they are very smooth - our campsite was bit totally flat, so we all slid off our mats the first night. We ended up packing our clothes around us to keep us on our mats! Try to find a level spot for your tent. Thank you to whoever suggested taking photos while unpacking the boxes - it wasn’t easy to Tetris everything back in. They mailed our package to the Jackson UPS, which charged us an additional $30 to store the 2 large boxes. They also gave us the return slips and plenty of time to return the equipment. Every email I sent received a response within an hour - super responsive! I highly recommend this service for anybody who doesn’t own their own camping equipment or doesn’t want to haul it to their destination. Thank you, Outdoors Geek for making our first Yellowstone camping experience a success!

I rented equipment for a backpacking trip in Oregon. All the gear was shipped on time and was in excellent condition. Communication was prompt and friendly. No issues shipping it back to them. Would definitely rent again.

This place is great! I came here because I needed snow shoes and would rather rent from a small business than rei. It was super easy to reserve and pay online. I picked up within 30 min of reserving on a Friday afternoon. Got some quality snow shoes and poles for the whole weekend for a super reasonable price. Returning was super easy. Would definitely come back here!

Great experience renting the Yellowstone package for your trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone: You can see some of the equipment in the pictures.All of the material they use is first quality, clean, the best brands, like the description in the website.Staff is super friendly and helpful. We totally recommend it and if we travel again to there, we will definitely go to outdoors geek again.

Rented the Winter Backpacking package with my girlfriend the other weekend for doing some backcountry camping at Rocky Mountain National Park. Super positive experience. Picking up the gear is easy, they have a drop box that you can pick the stuff afterhours. Gear is all name brand and well taken care of. Great communication and service. Highly recommend.

Honest and fair prices. And fantastic customer service. I ordered a good amount of things from their used section and all of it was in great shape. One thing I ordered had a patch on it so they sent me a photo of it before shipping to make sure I was still okay with it. Fantastic experience and will definitely use them as my go to from here on out.

Great gear at a great price with fantastic customer service! I ordered a used backpacking pack from Outdoors Geek. I had a question about a coupon code, and their customer service rep emailed me back almost immediately. Then, when my used pack arrived in the mail, there was a note that they sent me a brand new pack instead at no additional cost! I will be purchasing gear from this company again!

I would highly recommend Outdoors Geek. Wanted to go backpacking again after 20 years. Rented a tent, bear canister, water filter, and a backpack. Get the freeze dried food from them. Their pricies are resonable. Their equipment had extras that made my trip awesome. Tent was rain proof. Backpack came with a rain cover; came in handy when it rained. Backpack had a daypack inside which also came in handy. Also got awesome advice on things to buy and where to go. Took their advice and hiked up to Emmaline Lake. Loved it!!! Picture of their tent, food, and bear canister below...

Amazing little camp rental place located just off 70. Its tucked back there but the deals are worth it. Really attentive friendly staff ready to answer questions the minute you walk in the front door. Great rental selection plus a ton of stuff ready to purchase right off the shelf. Gear we rented was in great condition and really clean, will def rent from here again on our next trip on the Colorado Trail. 👍👍👍

I recently took a chance on a very, very discounted tent on clearance (Big Agnes Fly Creek Ultralight 3p). I was really impressed with the service here, I was both emailed and called just to confirm that I was aware and okay with the condition of the tent (stains and some repairs) and I thought that was really good of them. The only small gripe I have is that I have found a few small holes that they missed, but that I think I can repair further. I mean, for the deal I dont really think I ought to complain. Bear in mind I havent taken it out yet, this was just on initial investigation but I think all in all I scored. Thanks, Outdoors Geek!

Review №27

Can-Am Crown, is a sled dog race in Fort Kent Maine. We have rented Spot Trackers from Outdoors Geek for our last two races. It is very comforting to know where the mushers are on the trails through the timber harvests of Northern Maine. This year we had a dog team who quit thirty miles from the Finish Line. Search & Rescue knew where the musher was and were able to get her and the dog team out to the nearest road crossing much sooner by the use of the Spot Trackers. Outdoors Geek delivered the trackers from Colorado to Maine a few days ahead of time for the races. which was very appreciated. We hope to do business with them again for the 2020 races.

Needed snowshoe rental last minute. Did the research online, and found a good deal. Contacted the store to confirm in stock, and the store rep quickly confirmed availability. At arrival, was greeted and again confirmed availability. A few questions, a view of their stocked merchandise, and was out the door. Super friendly, and fast!

Located in an old warehouse, Outdoor Geek il could be considered a gem in the rough. Friendly and helpful staff, limited selection of products but they more than cover the basics and the pricing is on point. I will definitely rent gear from them again when camping in the area.

Review №31

Bought a new backpacking tent from here. Awesome tents, awesome prices, and even better customer service! Their prices were already low due to a sale that I received from joining their newsletter, but they also let me know that they price match with anyone! 10/10 would recommend, and I will always go back for my camping/backpacking needs.

Im a huge fan of OG. For someone who doesnt camp very much & doesnt own a lot of gear, their packages provide you with everything you need. From the tent to sleeping bags, chairs, table, & cooking supplies, all the equipment was high quality and well maintained. The rental process was very smooth & their staff are super friendly and helpful. Ill definitely use their rental service again in the future.

Working with Outdoors Geek was a pleasure. They had exactly what we needed for our 7-day canoe trip and worked with us to find the solution that best fit our needs. Their prices are very good. They were very flexible with us when our plans changed due to a storm and we had to keep some of the gear a bit longer than expected. I highly recommend renting your gear from them.

Couldnt have had a better experience and I will be coming back. Staff and price were great. Chelsea was so helpful! I went in looking for a tent and she pulled out and set up a few for me to look at. Really felt like she cared about my business and my questions. Recommending Outdoor Geek to all my friends!

We rented sleeping bags and tent for our two night stay in Rocky mountains and Aspen. We really liked the quality of the tent. He sleeping bags were not so bad either. Overall we enjoyed their friendly reminders, options to ship the stuff to our place, and option to drop off the stuff even after business hours!

My two sons and I booked a 10 day camping road trip for Denver to Zion and back. We rented our gear from these guys because we flew from ATL into Denver. The gear was top notch, clean and met all of our expectations. They have a great shop also for picking up some cool camping and cooking necessities. Great job Outdoors Geek!

Customer service was phenomenal, my rental was impacted by hurricane Harvey and Chelsea worked with me for alternate pick-up shipping options. The equipment was very clean and great shape, I would not hesitate to do business with Outdoors Geek again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality gear at a great price. Equipment was so good I have emailed inquiring to purchase the tent I rented.

These guys couldnt have been nicer or more helpful. We rented their large 14 X 17 canvas hunting tent, and they fully explained how to set things up, how to put the stove together, and how to pack it back up again. They were even nice and understanding when we brought the tent back full of snow - it got VERY cold and snowy that week, and the snow did not melt from the canvas before we were able to bring it back.

I havent been camping in years and needed some equipment for two for a family trip. The woman I spoke to at Outdoors Geek was very helpful and friendly. We got our rental equipment a couple of days in advance of our trip which was helpful in understanding what we had and how to pack. The equipment was all in great shape--it looked like new--and was light, comfortable, and easy to use. Outdoors Geek helped us have a great camping experience. I highly recommend their service.

Review №43

Rented a SPOT for a trip into the Boundary Waters in MN. They programmed everything in advance for me so I could send OK messages to family back home. They then shipped it ready-to-use a few days in advance of my trip. The UPS label for the return shipping was enclosed, so sending it back in the same box was a breeze. I couldnt have been more impressed by their professionalism, support, and ease of rental. I will definitely use their services again. Thank you!

These guys are GREAT!!We just rented a package for camping at Yellowstone. It was sent UPS and was waiting for us with all the return labels to return it when we were finished. They offer a standard package of gear for Yellowstone and were very willing to make changes that tailored to our specific wants - very easy people to work with!! The gear was all top notch and in great condition.Thank you so much Outdoors Geek! I highly recommend using them!

A good selection of high performance backpacking equipment for rent. Came in pretty handy when I was attempting to keep my weight to a minimum on a solo trip where I was crossing multiple mountain passes. Prices are reasonable and service is quick and efficient. Highly recommend it for trips where you have one off requirements, or as a way to take some high end gear out for a test drive before buying.

Convenient and extremely helpful. I rented a bear canister for the weekend. OG has a great location on the way from the airport so worked well to pick it up before heading to the mountains and drop it off on the way to the airport.Also got great advice from the staff there on camping/hiking locations and stocked up on food for the trip. Great supply depot especially if you are coming from the airport and heading to the mountains for a trip.

What great service. I was trying to find a discounted canvas tent to take to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe as the fight to protect clean water for 18 million people. They were able to give me a great deal on 12x14 canvas tent that is now the living quarters for an elder at Standing Rock. Thak you so much!!

From the first conversation to a last minute delivery during the event, the service here was excellent. Micah, and all of Outdoors Geek, helped provide over a dozen glamping tents for our wedding which made for an amazingly festive atmosphere. I highly recommend their glamping tents and any services they provide -- especially seeing that their prices are so competitive!
