Using these five guidelines, we’ve compiled a list of the best camping tents of this year.

And since we started, our experts have considered hundreds of camping tents, slept in more than 30, and winnowed down our gear rooms to the 15 best of the best collected in this guide.įor our evaluation, we focused on weather resistance, comfort, ease of setup, extra features, and value. We gathered our most camp-savvy testers and sent them into the woods across the country in search of the perfect camping tent for every type of weekend. Some tents are wilder-nests that thrive in a more backcountry-adjacent use, while others are downright front-country palatial. Our experience and exacting standards give us the expertise to make your shopping easier and have shown us that while many tents claim to do it all, many excel in certain circumstances over others. Our team brings decades of camping experience in every sort of condition imaginable, from national park campgrounds to multiday festivals to long road trips.
