If you love camping, but don’t love the hassle of:

  • finding and packing your camping gear
  • searching for a place to camp
  • hassling with tent setup

Or doing all the above only to realize you left the tent poles at home (not again!)…

…then it’s time to say hello to roof top camping.

Camp Closer to the Stars

A roof top tent mounts easily to the roof rack of ANY car. Simply park, pop it up, and in under a minute, you’re ready to kick back, crack a beer, and enjoy watching your friends fiddle with their ground tent setup. That means more time relaxing with friends and family and less time wrestling with tent poles, sleeping bags, air mattresses, the works.
