Scarborough Camping Gear Rental

Camping Tent Rentals in Scarborough — Grab Your Gear and Head Out East

People in Scarborough tend to underestimate how well-positioned they actually are for camping. The 401 runs east straight toward Darlington, Durham, and the Kawarthas. The 115 takes you up toward Algonquin and Haliburton. Bon Echo, Sandbanks, Silent Lake — there’s a lot of genuinely good Ontario camping that Scarborough residents can reach without a massive drive. Most people just haven’t thought about it that way.

The gear is usually the sticking point. Camping equipment is expensive to buy outright, takes up a lot of storage space most Scarborough homes don’t have sitting around, and if you’re only going out once or twice a summer the math just doesn’t work in favour of owning it. A tent, sleeping bags, air mattresses, a stove, cooler, chairs, lantern, tarp — you’re easily past $1,000 before the first grocery run for the trip.

We make it easy to just rent what you need and go. Our store is in Mississauga at 3610 Nashua Dr #7 — about 40 to 45 minutes from most of Scarborough depending on traffic. Book online the night before your trip, drive over on pickup morning, and everything you reserved is already packed and waiting. Our team goes through the whole kit with you, helps you load the car, and you’re heading east on the 401 from there. Simple as that.

Setup Videos on Every Item!

🎥 Scan a barcode — scan it at the campsite for a setup video on your phone. So even if it’s your first time and you’re not totally sure how everything goes together, you’ve got a visual guide right there.

Everything leaves our store clean, inspected, and genuinely ready to use from the moment you pitch up at the campsite. Tents tested, sleeping bags sanitized, cooking equipment checked before every single rental. Have a look through our tents and gear collection and find what fits your group and your trip.

Why Rent A Vibe

Why Scarborough Residents Choose Rent A Vibe for Camping Gear

🧼
Cleaned & Checked Before Every Rental
Tents tested, sleeping bags sanitized, cooking equipment inspected after each return before going back out. You’re not pulling gear out of a bag that’s been sitting since someone else’s last trip.
💰
A Fraction of What Buying Costs
Buying a full kit costs $800 to $1,200. Renting gives you properly maintained gear at a fraction of that — pay for the trip, return it, and you’re done. No storage, no upkeep.
📦
One Booking Covers Everything
Tent, sleeping bags, cooking gear, chairs, lantern, cooler, tarp — all in one kit. No running between stores the week before your trip trying to piece it all together.
🎥
Setup Videos are Included on Every Item
Scan the barcode on any piece of gear for a how-to video on your phone. First camping trip? You’re covered. Haven’t been in a few years? Still useful at the end of a long drive.
🕖
Early Pickup, Late Return
Pickup available from 6AM on your start date, return before midnight. Open 7 days a week, 7AM to 11PM. Fits around your schedule, not ours.
🚗
40–45 Min from Scarborough
Not a massive detour — our Mississauga store is about 40 to 45 minutes from most of Scarborough. A real team on-site to help you load up and answer anything before you leave.
Rent vs Buy

Outdoor Gear Rentals in Scarborough — Why Renting Works Better for Most People

❌ Buying Gear
$800–$1,200+
Tent, sleeping bags, air mattress, pump, stove, cooler, chairs, lantern, tarp — before a single grocery. Then it all needs somewhere to live in your house year-round.
✅ Renting From Us
Fraction of the cost
Pay per trip. Clean, properly maintained gear every time. Return it when you’re back. No storage headache, no maintenance, no forgotten items from last summer.

The thing about camping gear is that most people use it two or three times a year at most — usually a couple of summer weekends and maybe a fall trip if the weather cooperates. Buying a full setup for that frequency doesn’t really make sense when you break down the cost per use. And even when people do buy gear, it tends to deteriorate in storage and end up in worse shape than rented equipment that gets properly maintained between every single rental.

Renting removes all of those friction points. You pay for the trip, use gear that’s in genuinely good condition, return it, and that’s it. No cleaning, no storing, no figuring out next spring whether everything still works. And the pickup stop at our store isn’t a big deal from Scarborough — you’re driving west anyway to get to most camping destinations, so it’s a stop along the way rather than a detour.

Book online the night before, head to our Mississauga store on pickup morning, load up in a few minutes, and you’re on the 401 heading wherever you’re going. Check all the areas we serve to see the full GTA coverage.

Where to Go

Best Camping Destinations Near Scarborough — Closer Than You Think

Scarborough’s east end location puts some great Ontario camping within a surprisingly short drive. Here’s where our Scarborough customers actually go — and which kit fits each spot best.

🚗 ~50 min
Darlington Provincial Park
Lakeside camping right on Lake Ontario near Bowmanville. The closest real provincial park from Scarborough — beach access, easy trails, relaxed atmosphere. Great for a low-key family weekend where the goal is to just unwind.
Best with: 4-Person Kit
🚗 ~75 min
Sandbanks Provincial Park
One of the best camping spots in Ontario for families — massive sand dunes, great swimming, and genuinely beautiful scenery on Lake Ontario. Gets busy in peak summer, so booking the campsite early matters here.
Best with: 4 or 6-Person Kit
🚗 ~2 hrs
Bon Echo Provincial Park
Famous for its massive cliff face and lake views. Canoe rentals, good hiking, and a quieter atmosphere than the bigger parks. A popular choice for Scarborough families who want something with real character and aren’t chasing a beach.
Best with: 4 or 6-Person Kit
🚗 ~2.5 hrs
Algonquin Provincial Park
The classic Ontario camping trip — canoe routes, backcountry options, wildlife, hundreds of sites. A solid run up the 115 from Scarborough. Worth every minute of the drive if you’re ready for a proper multi-night trip.
Best with: 6 or 8-Person Kit
🚗 ~2.5 hrs
Silent Lake Provincial Park
Near Bancroft in the Haliburton area — quieter than Algonquin, excellent for paddling and hiking, and a great option for Scarborough families who want something a little off the beaten track.

Rent-A-Vibe is truly an amazing business! The team behind it is incredibly polite, professional, and so easy to work with. They’ve gone out of their way for us many times — even offering free delivery on multiple occasions, which we really appreciated. I also remember a time when I had to cancel last minute, and despite the inconvenience, they were still so kind and understanding. Not many businesses show that level of patience and respect these days, and it genuinely stood out to me. Their rental items are top-quality and always beautifully maintained. The service is smooth, reliable, and full of positive energy — just like the name suggests. I highly recommend Rent-A-Vibe for anyone looking for great products and even better service. They’re truly the best!

They are the best for renting camping gear. They even gave extra mattress in case they sont work. There was a slight problem with the grill and they gave refund for that too. Very easy and fast dealing. Rates are amazing. Dont bother looking for other options.

I was kind of doubtful at first, but I had a camping trip booked and really needed some gear. I’m a broke college student, so buying outright wasn’t feasible so I had to result to renting.I found Rent a Vibe, not super popular but the reviews looked reliable, so I figured why not. Booking was easy, just did it on their website. When I went to pick up, I drove to the warehouse, called them, and a super friendly staff member came out to help. They checked my name, gave me the gear, and that was it. After my trip, I came back around 10 PM to return everything. They checked the equipment, made sure it was all good, and I got my deposit back right away. I walked away happy after a great camping trip!
