A tipi tent has a classic shape with a pole in the middle. That shape is not only pretty, but also strong. You pitch it fast and you get a surprising amount of room inside. That is why it is a great choice for campers who like things simple.
Why choose a tipi tent
The central pole carries the tent, so the build stays stable and simple. The fabric is canvas or polycotton. That fabric breathes, so the air inside stays fresh. Even in changing weather the tent keeps a pleasant climate. Moreover, canvas lasts a long time. Thanks to the height you can stand up straight, and there is room to sleep, sit and store your gear.
For short trips and long stays
Such a tent is quick to pitch, so it suits a weekend away. Yet it also works well for a long stay, because you have room and a good climate. Some models have a stove jack, so you can put a stove inside. As a result, you camp warm in winter too.
What to look for
First check the size: how many people sleep in it and what do you bring? Then look at the fabric. Canvas and polycotton both breathe, so you have less trouble with damp. Do you want to use a stove? Then choose a model with a stove jack.
