Car Tents
Be more comfortable while camping with a car tent
Having a car tent means you’ll always get a good night’s sleep when camping at a camp site, on a road trip, or in the back country. There are different models of car tent so every car owner will be able to choose one.
What is a car tent?
A car tent is a tent that attaches to the back of your car when you lift the hatch or tail gate or it sits on the top of your car on a roof rack. Depending on the type of car tent you have, set up is as easy as setting up a regular tent, only this tent is attached to your car via straps or bolts so it can withstand wind.
Car tents have all of the same features you’ll find on a regular tent including zip doors, windows, and a fly to protect you from rain. There are also some car tent models with screen rooms so you can have an extra protected space to sit in while you eat.
Benefits of a having a car tent
Car tent camping is a lot of fun, and many car tent fans will say it’s even more fun than camping in a regular tent or trailer. With a car tent attachment, you’ll love how the tent is attached to the back of the car. It gives you access to the interior of your vehicle without having to leave your sleeping area and unlocking your car doors.
You’ll be more comfortable sleeping in a car tent so you’ll get a better night’s rest, and if you’re camping with others, having a car tent shelter will give you more space as someone can opt to sleep in the back seat of the car.
If you have a car tent attachment for your roof you can travel with your tent attached, popping it up when you’d like to go to sleep at night. With a roof car tent, you’ll use a ladder to get up and down. Sleeping high above the ground is a great way to stay away from mud or help you feel safe if you’re worried about animals in the area.
When to use a car tent
With a car tent in your vehicle there is no where you can’t explore. You can pack up your car or SUV and head into the backcountry for a weekend to enjoy areas you’ve never been, and it will be a lot easier because you won’t have to backpack your gear in.
While sleeping you’ll feel safe and secure because your vehicle is open to you if you need it. Car tents give you a lot more space than a regular tent, so you can invite more friends along for a fun weekend away in the woods or by your favourite lake.
