Camping High Above the Ground in the Most Tremendous Tree Tents

Author: Ethan Bailey

Do you love camping? Are you headed somewhere where you are likely to find wild animals roaming outside the rather thin tent wall? Then Tree Tents are the next adventure for you! For a unique experience in the tree tops, why not try this more exciting kind of camping? The hottest new tree-mendous trend, tree tents are perfect not only for camping, but for fishing and hunting trips too – there is almost always somewhere to set up camp.

Take Your Pick of These Top Tree Tents!

Luminair Spherical Tent

Think of this one as the all-grown-up fort of your wildest childhood dreams. Inside it you’ll find two beds, a skylight, water storage, a woodstove and it even has the option to add renewable electricity!

Made from wood and steel and covered with a canvas that’s handwoven, this tree tent could be your new home above the forest floor!

The Tentsile Stingra

This sleek little number houses three people, and can expand to become a larger shelter with very basic modifications. With a hatch on the floor, entering and exiting your tree tent is easy, and you can even attach a hammock to relax on and to make getting in and out even easier. More than three people in your camping party? Simply connect your Stingray to others to make a larger network of tents hanging in the trees!

Aelph Alpha

This is the tent all long-distance hikers have been looking for! Weighing a tiny 4-5 pounds and unfolding in mere seconds, this is the tent of your solo backpacking dreams. Think how light and easy this baby will be to carry, put up and relax in…

Treepee

I really like this one, and not just because of its catchy name! Perfect for camping with kids, the Treepee’s interior is quite small and its floor is bouncy like a trampoline. This is the only tent on this list that uses the ground to remain stable, but I don’t think it detracts from the experience in the slightest.

Nubé Hammock Shelter

More of a jazzed-up hammock than a full-blown tent, this one is super impressive and extremely useful in my opinion. With a gear storage area that can hold up to 200 pounds worth of kit, it’s made of a breathable weather-resistant material keeping the interior dry. What’s more, it is extremely lightweight, weighing a teeny 2.24 pounds!

 

Before you set out on a completely new camping adventure, you must remember to get a backpacker travel insurance policy that will cover you on the ground and in your tree tent! Let’s Go Insure’s backpacker travel insurance allows you to go that little bit further, higher (as in: treetop high!) and off the beaten track. Even for the most adventurous backpacker, travel insurance is essential for peace of mind in any eventuality.
