Camping season is nearly officially underway, and now is the perfect time to add an easy-to-pack hammock to your gear. A good portable hammock lets you add a cozy spot at any campsite without any bulky equipment — just find two trees to hang it between, and you’re ready to relax. The best ones are compact, quick to set up, and comfortable enough to make you forget you’re roughing it. Right now, Walmart has a camping hammock on sale for less than $20 that you’ll definitely want on your next trip.

Now just $18, the Mapskey Portable Hammock is 49% off its usual $35 price thanks to a limited-time Walmart flash deal. It’s earned praise from shoppers for being far more comfortable and spacious than its price suggests. If you want to truly enjoy lounging outdoors during your next camping trip, this is exactly the hammock you need.

Setting up this portable hammock is a breeze. Simply wrap the included tree straps around a tree trunk or pole and attach with the carabiners on either side of the hammock. You can even hang it between two sturdy porch beams for backyard lounging at home. The nylon fabric is lightweight, so you can feel a breeze through it, but it’s sturdy enough to support up to 330 pounds.

I’ve personally packed a similar hammock on multiple trips, and can say that the smaller it packs down, the better, especially if you’re hiking to your campsite. This model compresses down into a compact 7-inch wide by 9.5-inch wide and 2.7-inch thick size that’s easy to stash in a backpack pocket.

With a 4.7 out of five-star rating, shoppers were impressed with the practicality and comfort this hammock offers. One called it “surprisingly roomy,” and noted that the fabric “breathable” comes in handy in warm weather.
