After many years of considering the options for my camping trips to the backcountry in Canada with my UTV, I think I may have the answer.
It’s a combination of a tent and a hammock (in my mind) with the best of both worlds. It keeps you up off the ground like a hammock but is stable and roomy like a tent. The only obvious downside is the weight and size.
This is no problem if your car camping or like me, have a UTV / Side x Side to haul it around with.
The build quality is good with fully taped seams and chunky zippers. Esme and I easily slept in the cot in comfort, especially with my new Therm-a-Rest Basecamp XL mat, which fit perfectly!
I topped that off with my Canadian Forces down sleeping bag and I was very comfortable even though the temperature dropped to below freezing.
I think this is a great piece of gear for the right purpose and I’m very glad I bought it. I will be reviewing the tent cot again in a few years to let you know how the wear and tear aspect of the unit goes.

I have this same tent/cot and I love it. There are a few considerations I'd add, prefaced by an introduction: I'm close to 63 years old, I'm 6'-5" tall and 250+ pounds. I've broken my back twice. I've always slept on the ground under a tarp, but it's getting to be a challenge to get up from the ground. This cot/tent has been a great solution. After a couple practices, I can set it up in about 60 seconds. It accommodates my size easily and I can now easily stand up from it. I can have it as open or closed as the weather dictates. At about $180 including rain cover and shipping, I consider it a great value.

I've had one of these for about 6 years now, Mine is a Kookaburra brand and it only had 2 legs instead of 4 and no multi-section roof poles. I use it for car camping mostly, and I have a big tarp that I put over the roof of the wagon, attach to the wheel arches on the far side with bungy cord. I have a line of paracord from the roofrack to a tree for a ridge pole and I just tie the two corners out to make an awning that covers one side of my car and gives me a large covered area along side the car to set up the tent/bed under. I have some mobility issues, so for a disabled man to be able to set up a dry camp with a bed up off the ground and a 12x12 covered area by himself in about the time it takes to set up a 2 person dome tent is awesome. Can't recommend these camp cots highly enough, they're a gamechanger for car camping, touring and road trips. Looks like you could easily incorporate a similar thing with a tarp over the top of your UTV.

Another thing you could do for inclement weather is to set the Kamp-Rite cot up between a couple of trees and then hang a lightweight tarp off a ridge-line tied to the them. You could easily adjust the height of the tarp for varying exposure and give yourself an awning to protect the opening of the cot where you sit, enter and exit. The tarp would give you added weather protection and more space out of the rain. Just an idea. Nice video.

Exactly what I do. The rain fly that comes with it certainly keeps you dry, but it obstructs way too much air circulation. The tarp overhead keeps me dry even when I have my tent cot completely open.

I plan on buying 3. One for each my husband and myself. One for food and equipment. The homeless situation here in Illinois is crazy. We were homeless for about 13 months and had to borrow a tent from my boss. It was a 3 man and incredibly small. These would be a terrific solution should that ever comes up again. I learned this- never think it won't happen to you. I am a certified adoptions caseworker for Illinois. Our rent increased 27% along with loosing my job in the c19 year. It happens to the best of us. 3 of these would be ideal. M. Illinois.

Interesting concept, this looks great for summer camping with dog. For winter it will need a skirt to hold the air and also allow for storage of boots, stove, jackets etc. Here in northwestern Canada, it can chill things above ground quickly with a -30 something breeze blowing underneath.... And waking up and lighting a gas stove for coffee is great if there's enough room in the tent fly.

I plan to test it in Winter here too. We typically get average winter temps from -20c to -30c but it can go all the way down to -40c+. I agree the addition of a skirt would be the way to go. I'll be sure to make a video of my first attempts!

I had a Kamp-Rite extended version, I loved it because it kept me off the ground and could store equipment and still sleep comfortable. I didn't like how it was alledged to support 200+ pounds, yet with 15 pound hiking bag with supplies included in weight plus my the 175 lbs, tore around edges. The rain tarp I had to pay extra for kept me dry except for condensation build up, not the best there, ended up rigging a tarp to block rain yet remain breathable and have a steady breeze. I would not recommend for camping longer than a week stretch at a time unless you reinforce the bottom canvassing and an extra tarp to tie to trees for rain blocking.

I have only one hand/arm and I can set my oversize Kamp-Rite cot tent in about a minute or less. Trick is to unfold it on its side. By doing that all the legs and straps are easily accessible, then flip it right side up and do the poles. I replaced the shoestring tie downs on the fly with small nylon straps that have quick release buckles because tying shoestrings with one hand is a pain. Solution for the door flaps: Buy some cheap spring-loaded hair clips. Simple roll up the door flap to your desired height and clip it with a hair clip. If the weather starts to get bad, simply unclip the hair clip, the door flap drops down, then zip it secure. Very easy to do from inside the tent.

I think there is always a battle between what the customer will pay and the quality you can make an item for. The Australian swag bag type tents are expensive - but I agree - perhaps a more expensive version with better spec materials would sell enough to make a profit for them.

Thank you for such a great video on this. I hate you...because I want one so bad. LOL...I'm doing hammock camping with my Grizzly. Really easy to carry my whole camp plus hunting or fishing gear in season. BUT, I really wanted to go with a Kamp-Rite system. Only, I would have had to use a trailer. Actually, maybe I still will. Think of the options. Ugh...here I go again.

Yea - it's a step up from a hammock in my book - much more room and not as location specific (no tree's) :). Maybe the lightweight model would be a good option for an ATV? They are lighter and pack down smaller. I haven't tried one yet but........ :D

The ultimate for me would be if it had a bit of room in folded up position, so you could leave your sleeping bag/pad setup inside. This is one of the things I like about a rooftop tent, they have room for sleeping gear to store with it. Would save even more setup time. Otherwise I do really like this tent setup.

I saw the Original version the first time. Only has two legs. Did not think much of it. But this newer larger version looks nice. I think your straps are a bit off. They need to go to the bottom of the inside legs. WHAT? No little bits of string to tie the fly up... BAH! Velcro... not near the screens! Read some reviews about the fly leaking in heavy rain. Need to seam seal! What many do not understand is you can get soaked without rain. You breathe out a lot of water during the nite and it condenses on the tent fabric, leaving you quite wet in the morning. Nice review & nice dog.

Also to add if summer temps are warm and have access to power pole or generator to run extension cord a regular size box fan sits perfectly on either end and tie it off on handle of fan to the top end of tent bracket You’ll be the envy of The campgrounds lol I used mine for up to 3 weeks at a firework tent in June thru July 5th had that box fan set up in end On low and slept very comfortable The ends open up at an angle so you can see the stars at night I traveled around the country and would set up out of the way from people at rest areas The only thing about it is people wanted to know where I got it lol I was glad to meet many people over it that had never seen one I saved thousands of dollars paying for hotels and motels 👍
