Stillhet, Magi og Naturens Ro i Sørlandets Tretopphytte

Tree tents provide a unique camping experience by combining the comfort of a hammock with the protection of a regular tent, all while elevating occupants above the ground. These dangling shelters offer panoramic views and a unique way to interact with nature.

First impressions and setup

Tree tents are easy to set up and usually require three sturdy trees arranged in a triangle-like shape. The procedure involves wrapping straps around the trees and adjusting the tension to create a tight sleeping surface. We have set up Wild Cabins, tree tents and they are ready to book in advance of your next holiday to ensure a seamless experience. We do have sleeping pads so we recommend you bring your own sleeping bag for those cold nights.

Comfort and sleeping experience

Sleeping in a tree tent is like being gently rocked by the wind. Movements inside the tent can cause it to sway to your rhythm. However, many campers find this movement soothing, reminiscent of the gentle swing of a hammock. Plus, being suspended above the ground means you're less likely to encounter uneven terrain, rocks, or damp soil. ?

Weather protection and ventilation

The hover tents are equipped with tarps and insect netting, ensuring protection from the elements and pesky critters like mosquitoes. The elevated design allows for natural airflow underneath, reducing the likelihood of condensation building up. It is important to note, however, that being off the ground can expose you to cooler temperatures, so it is recommended to bring appropriate insulation or sleeping bags. ?

Ideal users

Wooden tents are particularly suitable for everyone, but most especially for:

Car campers: Those who have the luxury of transporting gear by vehicle will appreciate the unique experience a tree tent offers without worrying about weight or space limitations.
Adventure seekers: If you want to add a twist to your camping adventures and don't mind a little movement at night, a tree tent provides a memorable experience. We have a lake and a boat ready for your fishing adventure. Bring your fishing rod and life jacket if you want to go out in the boat to fish.
Comfort-oriented campers: For people who prioritize comfort and want to avoid sleeping on uneven or hard surfaces, a tree tent offers a solution.

The wooden tent in Konsmo offers a unique way to connect with nature. Hanging between trees a few meters above the ground, it combines the excitement of a hammock with the comfort of a tent. This adventure is perfect for nature lovers and thrill seekers alike!

The blogger from A Permanent Holiday shared her magical experience:
"It was an unforgettable night by the lake, with views of the water and the peaceful sounds of nature all around us. We stayed warm and cozy with a good blanket, and the tent's open canopy gave us hours of stargazing under the night sky."

Before basking in the stars, the blogger enjoyed a delicious dinner at the nearby barbecue hut, an ideal spot for grilling and relaxing. Even small quirks, like the center entrance to the tent, added to the charm of the experience. "This was truly a unique and special adventure," they said.
