Top 5 best wild camping tents
There are lots of tents out there suitable for wild camping, but here I have selected them down to the 5 best options which cover a range of budgets
#1. Hilleberg - Soulo Tent
![]() |
The Hilleberg Soulo is the ultimate 4 season free-standing tent, but it's a bit pricey |
#2. Wild Country - Helm 2 Compact Tent

The Helm 2 Compact by Wild Country is the tent that I recommend most to others, especially those who are just beginning to get into Wild camping and only want a 3 season tent.
#3. MSR - Hubba Hubba NX2
![]() |
The MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2 is a popular choice and can be used with just the fly sheet in warmer climates |
#4. LanShan 1/2
![]() |
The LanShan tent is a popular choice amongst backpackers as it is Ultralight. It achieves this partly due to the fact you use your trekking poles to prop it up! |
The best wild camping tent? If I were to choose one...
The tent what I recommend the most is the Helm 2 Compact, because when taking too consideration price, space & weight then its hard to beat, and it is the best value tent currently available for wild camping
