Ground tents for families, couples and longer campsite stays
Ground tents are affordable, spacious and practical when you want to leave camp set up while driving away in the vehicle. They are different from rooftop tents, which are vehicle-mounted and usually faster to deploy but smaller.

Dome, tunnel or frame
Different tent shapes suit different group sizes, setup times and weather conditions.
Size up realistically
Sleeps ratings are tight, so families usually need more space than the label suggests.
Tent questions, answered
Are these the same as rooftop tents?
No. These are ground tents that pitch on the ground. Rooftop tents are vehicle-mounted and live in the Rooftop Tents collection.
Should I choose a ground tent or rooftop tent?
Ground tents usually offer more space and value, while rooftop tents are faster and keep you off the ground. The right choice depends on how you camp.
What size tent should I choose?
Size up from the sleeps rating if you want comfort and space for bags, stretchers or family gear.
Should Tents be indexed now?
No. This page should stay noindexed until real ground-tent products are tagged and ready for customers.
