Quick Answer: Walmart’s trail camera selection is a genuine mix of the same name brands covered across this site — SpyPoint, Stealth Cam, Moultrie, Tactacam Reveal, Wildgame Innovations, Primos, Bushnell, and Tasco — stocked right alongside unbranded $19.99-$29.99 cameras from marketplace sellers with no track record. Walmart isn’t reliably the cheapest option: Outdoor Life’s own price-check found the Moultrie Edge 2 two-pack priced higher at Walmart ($100) than at Amazon ($90) or Bass Pro Shops ($80) on the same day. The bigger risk isn’t the price, it’s telling a Walmart-fulfilled listing apart from a third-party marketplace one before you buy.
Most trail camera buying guides compare brands and specs; almost none look at the retailer itself. That matters at Walmart specifically because its trail camera category pages blend Walmart’s own name-brand stock with open third-party marketplace listings — the same page layout, no obvious flag separating them. This guide covers which real brands are actually there, how Walmart’s prices move compared to Amazon, and how to spot a marketplace listing worth double-checking before you buy. Already decided on hardware and just comparing where to buy it? Our best trail camera rankings cover the models themselves.
Walmart trail camera prices, by the numbers
- Walmart priced the Moultrie Edge 2 two-pack $10 higher than Amazon and $20 higher than Bass Pro Shops on the same day, per Outdoor Life’s own three-retailer price comparison ($100 vs. $90 vs. $80) — the retailer with the biggest name isn’t automatically the cheapest.
- Walmart’s own “Was” price on a single Edge 2 moved by $20 between two separate snapshots ($99.99 marked down to $58.00 in one capture, $79.99 marked down to $58.99 in another) — the discount framing looks stable, the number it’s discounted from isn’t.
- A Walmart marketplace listing marked a basic Crenova camera up to $219.99-$249.00 while it was out of stock, per our own Crenova trail camera review — a real documented case of a stale or inflated marketplace price with no connection to the camera’s actual street price.
- Walmart’s unbranded $19.99-$29.99 trail cameras carry no brand name this site has ever been able to verify against a consistent model page — the listing photo and spec claims can change under the same product URL, which is why none of them get an individual review here.

The name brands are genuinely the same cameras
SpyPoint, Stealth Cam, Moultrie, Tactacam, Wildgame Innovations, Bushnell, and Tasco all sell the exact same hardware at Walmart that they sell everywhere else — there’s no Walmart-exclusive “lite” version or stripped-down SKU among the models we checked. If you’ve already read our SpyPoint, Stealth Cam, or Moultrie brand roundups, the specs and plan pricing carry over directly to a Walmart listing for the same model number. The only thing that changes by retailer is the price, and sometimes the pack size — SpyPoint’s Flex-M and Flex G-36 both show up as twin packs on Walmart’s category pages, which is worth noticing if you only need one camera.
Walmart isn’t reliably the cheapest, or the most expensive
Outdoor Life’s own cross-retailer price check on the Moultrie Edge 2 two-pack landed Walmart at $100, Amazon at $90, and Bass Pro Shops at the low end at $80 — all on the same day, for the same camera. Separately, Walmart’s own listing for a single Edge 2 showed two different discount framings in two different snapshots: “$58.00, was $99.99” in one, “$58.99, was $79.99” in the other. The sale price barely moved; the baseline it’s discounted from moved by $20. That’s the practical lesson here: a “Was $X” tag on a Walmart listing is not a fixed reference point you can trust week to week, and neither retailer holds a consistent price edge over the other. Pull up the live price on both sites before you commit, the same way our how much does a trail camera cost guide recommends checking against MSRP rather than any single listing.
Name-brand listing vs. marketplace listing — know the difference before you buy
Walmart.com runs name-brand inventory and open third-party marketplace listings on the same category pages, with no visual separation obvious at a glance. Our own Crenova trail camera review already caught a real example: a Walmart marketplace listing for a basic Crenova model was marked up to $219.99-$249.00 while showing out of stock — a price that has nothing to do with what the camera costs when it’s actually available. A few checks before buying any trail camera at Walmart:
- Look for “Sold and shipped by Walmart” versus a named third-party seller on the product page — the latter is a marketplace listing, not Walmart’s own stock.
- Cross-reference the price against Amazon or the brand’s own site. If a marketplace listing is priced noticeably above what the same model sells for elsewhere, that’s a stale or inflated listing, not a fair-market price.
- Treat an out-of-stock marketplace listing’s price as meaningless. It’s not a floor or a ceiling — it’s whatever number was left on the page the last time anyone touched it.
- The unbranded $19.99-$29.99 cameras are a different category entirely from the name-brand models above — budget for inconsistent image quality and no dedicated support line, since there’s no established brand standing behind the listing. If you want a genuinely cheap but accountable option instead, our cheap trail camera guide ranks name-brand budget picks specifically to avoid this gap.
Bottom line
Walmart’s trail camera selection is real — SpyPoint, Stealth Cam, Moultrie, Tactacam Reveal, Wildgame Innovations, Bushnell, and Tasco are all genuinely stocked there, running the identical hardware and data plans covered in our brand-specific reviews. What it isn’t is a reliable price leader: Outdoor Life’s own check found it priced above both Amazon and Bass Pro Shops for the same camera on the same day, and Walmart’s own “Was” price shifted $20 between two snapshots of the identical listing. The real thing to watch for is the marketplace blend — a name-brand camera sold and shipped by Walmart is the same product you’d get anywhere else, but a third-party marketplace listing (like the Crenova example above) can sit at a stale or inflated price indefinitely. Check the seller line on the product page, compare the live price against Amazon, and you’re buying the same camera either way.
