Tree tent

In 2019 we first heard about a lie-flat, lightweight hammock tent called the Haven. In 2022, a tougher Haven Safari model was added to the lineup. Its designers have now gone lighter and more compact than ever, with the ultra-packable Haven Spectre.

The SkyNest combines a hammock, bug mesh net and rainfly in a single package that can be used all together or in its separate components. It's claimed to be roomier than other hammock tents, and easier to set up.

Generally speaking, if you want to be warm and snug while sleeping outside, you sleep in an insulated tent. Crua Outdoors' new Culla Hammock Wrap Around V2, however, now brings the same sort of coziness to hammocks.

Spending the night in a Tentsile tree tent can be a truly inspiring way to camp, but hovering in a mesh dome loses appeal once winter hits. The new Insulated Cabin supports cold-weather camping while creating impressive multi-story Tentsile setups.

Tentsile has built an impressive stable of suspended sleeping shelters and hammocks since launching its very first tree tent in 2012, and its latest creations land with a particularly green tinge through the use of recycled ocean plastics.

Haven Tents launched in 2019 with a Kickstarter campaign for a lightweight hammock tent for the backcountry. Now it's hiked to the front country, introducing the Safari shelter for glamping comfort anywhere from car campsites to the backyard.

Back in 2020, Exod debuted one of the more striking tents of modern times. As intriguing as it was, the 18-lb, $2,240 Ark wasn't practical for many. Exod strikes back with the Monolith, a smaller, lighter inflatable ground/tree tent with lower price.

Four years ago we told you about the TreePod Camper, a fully-enclosed tent that hangs from a tree like a Christmas ornament. The Colorado-based TreePod company is now offering an open-sided alternative, in the form of the Canopy.

Ordinarily when you're pitching a tent, you have to look for a flat, smooth, dry area in which to do so. That isn't the case with the Treeline System, however, which lets you suspend a tent above the ground via a set of slack lines.

Back in April, we took a look at the French-designed Exod Home, an innovative inflatable hammock-tent for backcountry or frontcountry glamping. Exod is now chasing crowdfunding dollars in hopes of getting the Home, now called the Ark, to market.

Kammok thoroughly rethinks its Sunda tent/hammock into the new Sunda 2.0. The 2.0 brings a new integrated fly and external pole system that lets users scoop up the ground tent and strap it to a pair of trees in under a minute.

Continuously evolving its lineup of suspended tree tents, Tentsile adds a series of conversion kits for setting the tents up on the ground. Each model can now camp in the air or on the ground, better adjusting to the terrain and weather.
