Tents

The CanvasCamp Mouflon Tent pulls together a rugged canvas build, instant-pitching integrated hub frame and massive windows on all four sides like no other tent we've seen. It looks perfect for a night in the park or an extended overland expedition.

Bringing a taste of the flair and fashion of Japanese camping culture to the US, the Tokyo Crafts Grayhus glamping tent is a fantastically geometric wilderness abode. It elevates the outdoor experience, whether you're inside or viewing from afar.

The year in new tent design brought everything from a new breed of ultralight freestanders, to cushier rooftop tents loaded with amenities, to multi-tent inflatable base camps. Here's a look at our staff and reader favorites from 2025.

After years of admiring iKamper as the modern innovator behind the expandable three/four-person rooftop tent (RTT), we think we've found a new favorite family-size RTT. The Vision XL from Topoak offers a thoughtful design for less than half the MSRP.

The all-new Float tent looks to make camping faster, easier and tailored to the conditions on the ground. It inflates into form in under a minute, and when the ground gets too rocky, soggy or scratchy, the Float leaps up into the trees.

So many rooftop tents on the market weigh well over 100 lb. The all-new Weekend from Groenberg shatters that mold and weighs in at a fraction of those figures. And for a limited time, it also prices in at a fraction of the competition.

Mammoth is officially launching its pop-top rooftop shelter, but you won't hear it called a "tent." The miniature SKL shelter doesn't have a shred of canvas, relying instead on aluminum walls and integrated battery power to live like a tiny RV pod.

The new Vickywood Hazel rooftop tent doubles as an open-air balcony. Beyond serving as a breezy, 270-degree panorama atop your vehicle, the Hazel tent also offers two setup modes for fast camping exactly how you want it.

The new Wild Land Sky Rover rooftop tent aims to bring a little more RV comfort to the car top. In fact, it boasts a few features some small camper vans and trailers don't, including an automated pop-up system and even a toilet ... kind of.

Zpacks offers one of the world's lightest lineups of backpacking tents. Its new Duplex Pro combines that same ultralight construction with a comfortable build that adapts to each backcountry explorer to offer more personalized performance per pound.

The new Anymaka Hammock Tent drops out of the trees and brings its portable folding stand. Use it on the beach, open lawns, tundra, desert and anywhere else you can't find a single tree, let alone a perfectly spaced pair.

Snow Peak is among the first names that come to mind when we hear "glamping." Its new Land Nest reinforces the point, debuting as an expansive multi-room tent for cushy out/indoor living. It isn't cheap but is more affordable than similar Snow Peaks.

Perhaps the best part of spending a night outdoors in a tent is enjoying a clear view of the stars. Sky View Tents looks to optimize the experience with a new style of high-visibility tent with unique interior rainfly.

Kammok offers what might just be the quickest, most convenient vehicle-mounted awning on the market. Now, it's expanding the design with a fast-pitching no-see-um mesh bug room that installs like a bedsheet.

After releasing one off-road trailer after another, Mammoth Overland is ditching the chassis and wheels for its latest design. The SKL off-road camper leaps up atop the vehicle roof, bringing its own solid-state battery bank and hard walls.
