A popup tent is very different than a conventional tent designs. They have flexible frames will immediately spring into a tent once they have been opened. They are one of the greatest pieces of camping equipment that’s been invented. These tents are light, quick to fold, and small so they can be stored easily. Most conventional tent manufacturers also create popup designs made from the same high quality materials that they use for their other tents. CampRight is a world renowned tent brand that specializes in pop up tents. They provide hundreds of different sizes and shapes for one person, multiple people, and children.


To set up your popup tent, find an open area with a flat surface. The ground should be high to prevent flooding at night. Most campsites have ideal areas for popup campers, but if you are camping outdoors, then you will need to find a suitable spot yourself. Pick away any sticks, stones, or other sharp objects that may damage the underside of your tent and make it uncomfortable to sleep on.

Unpack your tent and remove the restraining bag, this will cause the tent to ‘pop’ open. Turn the tent to right side up with the faced in its proper position. If you have to pitch it on an uneven or incline surface, make sure that the floor faces downhill to prevent flooding. Pop up tent campers should not open their tent nearby trees or large objects to prevent them from getting in the way of the ‘popping’ mechanism.

Secure the fastenings into the ground by pushing them through the loops. If the ground is hard, you will need to use a hammer or another hard object to push the pegs in. Tent campers should always have an extra peg on hand in case one of them gets lots or broken. After, secure the ropes to finish the job.

A popup tent is a great way to introduce the family to camping, at a relatively low price.  Once your get hooked on camping, you’ll probably find yourself wandering about campgrounds yearning for the next step up – the folding camper!
