Collection: Outdoor Activity Equipment

Choosing camping gear

• Capacity: a tent rated for 4 leaves little room for gear, so size up by one person if you want space to move.
• Waterproofing: the rating in millimetres shows how much water the fabric resists; the higher it is, the better it handles downpours.
• Layout: a two-room tent or one with a porch keeps sleeping space apart from packs and wet boots.
• Campsite comfort: a portable flush toilet and a shower tent with a solar bag add privacy away from facilities.

Frequently asked questions

What size tent does a family of four need?

Go for a 5- or 6-person tent. Rated capacity assumes people lying shoulder to shoulder, so the extra room goes to bags, wider sleeping pads and rainy days.

How far ahead should I order before a camping trip?

Orders ship within 1 to 3 business days, then delivery takes 3 to 9 business days depending on your province. Order a few weeks before you leave.
