Big tents for families. Little tents for the weight-conscious ounce-counter. In-between tents for the rest of us. We've got them all, but not so many as to get you confused with too many choices.
We feature a few select, high quality tents by MSR, Kelty, Alps Mountaineering, Marmot and Sierra Designs. All tents are shipped to you clean, with no smells, tears or holes, and are easy to setup. All tents are already seam-sealed, so if it rains, you will stay dry. These tents are much better quality than the cheapies you find a sporting goods store and at most rental outlets. Here's what to look for:
The listed capacity means there is enough room in the tent for that many adults, typically sleeping on a standard size mattress pad, and yes, we rent mattress pads.
Going out by yourself or in a group where everyone is packing their own tent? Check out our one- and two-person backpacking tents, including the ultralights.
Have a partner you want to (or at least are willing to) share a tent with? Try the two- or three-person backpacking tents if you are headed down the trail, or otherwise any of the car-camping tents if weight and size are no issue. If the latter, we suggest getting the biggest tent your budget allows; there’s no point being cramped.
Note that some of the backpacking tents are free-standing – that is, they do not require staking – and others do. Free-standing ones are sometimes more convenient and easy to setup and move around, but are usually heavier for their size.
Taking the family gang out to the great outdoors for a weekend camping adventure? Take a look at our 4 - 6 person free-standing tents to see which one best meets your needs. Suggestion - for more comfort, rent the tent rated at least one-person capacity greater than your planned number of campers - so if for example there are 4 adults going camping, rent at least a 5-person tent so you'll have some extra elbow room for you and your gear.
Finally, we’ve recently added a Screen Tent that is good for bug-free and dry picnics, or for sun protection on the beach.
