If you’re looking for a hassle-free camping set-up, it might be time to invest in a swag tent. Swags (and double swags for couples) are compact, easy to transport, and simple enough to set up that you can get exploring as soon as possible.
Featuring a built-in mattress, swags are comfortable and made from sturdy materials like canvas and polycotton, so they’re designed to withstand rain and wind. They generally come in two types, your traditional swag and a dome swag.
A traditional swag is a lightweight, minimal designed set-up that’s made up of two pieces of canvas with a mattress in between. Dome swags, which are becoming more and more popular despite being a little more effort to set up, come with poles and extra canvas material to set up a roof that further protects you from the elements. They also feature mesh ventilation systems to keep the air circulating while you sleep.
All swag tents are designed to stay cool in summer yet warm in winter and come as singles or doubles, so if you’re camping solo or as a couple, you can do it in comfort. However, if you’re camping with the family, you might want to stick with a tent.
Here are a few other things to consider when choosing a swag:
- Size, weight and how portable it is
- How easy it is to set up
- Does it come with a built-in mattress
- Is it waterproof and long-lasting
- Will it remain sturdy in rainy, windy conditions
- Does it have any additional features you might need, e.g. pockets
Below, we’ve rounded up a range of single and double swags at varying price points so you can find one that fits your camping needs and budget.
