Compact tents suit anyone who wants to travel light. You go alone, as a pair or with three people. Think of a weekend away, a festival or a trek with your backpack. Then you want a tent that goes up fast and takes little room in the car, on the bike or in your bag. Still, you want comfort, and that is possible.
Compact tents in cotton
We work with CanvasCamp, a brand with a name for sturdy cotton tents and a timeless design. Cotton breathes, so it stays fresh inside. Moreover, the cloth is strong and can handle wind and rain. You choose from a tipi, a classic A-frame or a dome. We picked each model for easy pitching, weather resistance and a long life.
A small tent also has benefits at the campsite itself. You pitch it alone, without help. In addition, it fits on a small spot, for example between the trees. Even on a crowded festival field you will find room for it.
What to look for
How many people are going? Choose a tent for 1, 2 or 3 people

A tipi goes up fast, because the design is simple
Do you want to stand up straight? Then check the height of the tent
