Stacks of Versatility

Stacks of Versatility

All Tentsile Tree Tents have been designed to be multifunctional. You can use them in the trees to create a suspended tent, or on the ground just like a traditional tent, but you can also use them to create a multi-level campground. This is what we call a ‘stack’, meaning you can add levels to create more sleeping or living space.
