Camping Tents for Every New Zealand Adventure

Looking for the perfect camping tent in New Zealand? Whether you're off on a family road trip, hiking alpine tracks, or camping by the coast, our tents are built for NZ's wild conditions. From ultralight hiking tents to spacious family shelters and rugged 4-season options, we’ve got you covered.

Which Tent Is Right for New Zealand’s Weather?

New Zealand’s weather can change fast — especially in alpine or coastal regions. If you're heading into exposed or wet zones, choose a tent with a high waterproof rating (2000mm+), strong wind resistance, and a full-coverage rainfly. For help choosing, read our guide: How to Choose a Tent for NZ Weather.

Backpacking & Lightweight Tents

Tramping the South Island or hiking Great Walks? Our lightweight tents are compact, easy to carry, and weather-tested — perfect for DOC campsites and backcountry use. See more gear tips in our Essential Hiking Gear Guide.

Family Camping Tents

Need more space? Our family tents offer generous headroom, multiple rooms, and smart storage — ideal for Kiwi holiday parks or multi-night stays. Be sure to check our NZ Camping Checklist before you head out.

Airframe & Quick Pitch Tents

Short on setup time? Choose an air tent or quick pitch tent for fast, frustration-free assembly. Great for beginners or when you arrive late to camp. Learn how these compare in our Hot Tenting Beginner’s Guide.

4-Season & Alpine Tents

Planning a trip to Fiordland, Tongariro, or Hooker Valley? Our 4-season tents are built to handle snow, strong winds, and freezing nights. For safety tips and gear packing, visit this guide to Hooker Valley Trekking.
