A Blogger’s Review on Tree TentsSerenity, Magic, and Nature’s Tranquility in Southern Norway’s Treehouse

The tree tent in Konsmo offers a one-of-a-kind way to connect with nature. Suspended between trees a few meters above the ground, it combines the thrill of a hammock with the comfort of a tent.

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 ground. These dangling shelters offer panoramic vistas and a unique way to interact with nature.

First Impressions and Setup

Tree tents are simple to set up and typically require three sturdy trees arranged in a triangle-like shape. The procedure entails wrapping straps around the trees and adjusting tension to create a taut sleeping surface. We have set Wild Cabins, tree tents and they are ready for booking ahead of your next vacation to ensure a seamless experience. We have sleeping pads so we recommend you to carry your own sleeping bag for the cold nights.

Comfort and Sleeping Experience

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

Weather Protection and Ventilation

Most tree tents come equipped with rain flies and insect mesh, ensuring protection from the elements and pesky critters like mosquitoes. The elevated design allows for natural airflow underneath, reducing the likelihood of condensation buildup. However, it's essential to note that being off the ground can expose you to cooler temperatures, so bringing appropriate insulation or sleeping bags is recommended. ​

Ideal Users

Tree tents are particularly suited for everyone but most especially for:

  • Car Campers: Those who have the luxury of transporting gear by vehicle will appreciate the unique experience tree tents offer without the concern of weight or space limitations.​
  • Adventure Seekers: If you're looking to add a twist to your camping adventures and don't mind a bit of movement during the night, tree tents provide a memorable experience. We have a lake and a boat ready for your fishing adventure. Ensure you carry your fishing rod and a floating jacket as a safety precaution.
  • Comfort-Oriented Campers: For individuals who prioritize comfort and wish to avoid sleeping on uneven or hard ground, tree tents offer a solution.​
