When purchasing a tent for your next adventure, comparing rooftop tents and ground tents will certainly be on the agenda. Camping high above the ground – i.e. on the roof of your 4×4 – comes with its perks as GearJunkie details:
“If you’ve never slept in a rooftop tent, it’s hard to imagine how different it is from sleeping in a traditional tent. In general, we’ve found that rooftop tent (RTT) sleeping feels safer and more secure than sleeping in a tent on the ground. Plus, RTTs offer a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, airflow that’s unheard of in a ground tent, protection (and peace of mind), and generally superior comfort for sleeping.”
Yet, there’s one brand that’s put the cat amongst the pigeons in the debate on whether the roof or ground tent comes out on top.
British innovator Kampa’s Brean Air Tent range paves the way for a cleverer, more versatile, simpler way to camp. Read on to discover what makes their inflatable ground tents worthy investments for your next trip.
It’s compact
The beauty of the ground tent is its compact size. Unlike roof tents, which can be much bulkier and require additional accessories (such as a roof rack or bar), you simply throw a ground tent into your vehicle and go.
The compact nature of the Kampa Brean Air Tent range makes transporting all the supplies you need to enjoy your trip in style easy, with their roll-away inner dividers making it simpler and more convenient to pack down.
It’s spacious
Kampa Brean Air Tents may be compact, but once set up, become comfortable homes from homes when travelling off the road.
Their 210cm to 220cm deep bedrooms ensure everyone has the space to enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Designs also feature darkened inner tents to restrict light and guarantee great sleep every time you pitch up. Their handy, internal storage pockets mean ground space can be kept clutter-free and used as intended too.
It’s inflatable
What really sets Kampa Brean Air Tents apart from other ground tents is the fact they can be inflated, which means setup and packing away takes just minutes. Kampa designs use sturdy, high-pressure AirFrames to strike the right balance between durability and convenience.
Inflating these tents is easy. Simply inflate with the hand pump provided or attach to an optional 12v DC electric pump (not included) to make the job even quicker.
It’s protective
Kampa Brean Air Tents are built to last and to withstand the extremes of the most rugged environments. With this in mind, designs include covered front entrances, rain-safe doors, secondary mesh front doors, fully sewn-in groundsheets and factory-taped seams to keep moisture and those creepy crawlies at bay.
They’re also made from highly waterproof material, with the 2023 Kampa Brean 4 Air Tunnel Tent using innovative, lightweight and durable Weathershield 68D fabric to ensure a truly protective, high-grade finish.
