Tents

A car camping tent is a tent designed to be used with your vehicle, either attached to it, set up in the truck bed, or mounted on the roof. Car tent camping lets you keep your gear close, camp near the road and set up faster than backpacking gear. Our collection covers SUV tents, truck bed tents and a rooftop tent.

An SUV tent connects to the rear of your vehicle and gives you a large ground-level space. A truck bed tent sits in your pickup bed and keeps you off the ground. A rooftop tent mounts on your roof rack and sleeps fewer people but pitches in seconds.

An SUV tent connects to your vehicle, so you get direct access to your gear and a dry step between car and tent. A regular family tent is freestanding and easier to place, but you still walk outside to reach the car. Choose an SUV tent if you camp near your vehicle often; choose a regular tent if you plan to leave the car behind or camp on tight sites.

Can my vehicle carry a rooftop tent? Check your vehicle's dynamic roof load rating, which is the weight the roof can carry while driving. The tent, roof rack and anything else on the bars all count toward it.
