Turbo Tents and Backpacking Tents

The turbo style camping tents from Black Pine will take your camping and other outdoor activities to a new level of comfort. These tents are of high quality and set up so much easier than quite possibly any other tent you will find on the market. Most can be set up or taken down in approximately 5 minutes. The functionality of these tents cannot be matched. Aside from ease of setup, you will have roominess like you have never experienced before while camping.

We have also selected the best available backpacking tents designed to be light weight, functional, and durable. We offer backpacking tents from Kelty and Nemo Equipment.

The Pine Deluxe Turbo Tent
I find it interesting that when you go to the national parks, you find that most people are staying in a tailgate camping style of campsite yet living in backpacking style of tent.

These Turbo Tents made by Black Pine are much roomier than backpacking style of tents.

Here we have tents that set up in about 3 minutes - don't believe me? Watch the movie below.

You can stand in these tents, put cots in these tents, hang up an electric lantern on the inside so everyone can see, play, or read as they wish. This is like bringing your kids bedroom with you. In the six person tent, we are able to get two king sized cots and one regular sized cot fitting comfortably on the inside and still have room to change your clothes and stow your gear.

These tents have the following features:
1. Made with thick durable canvase.
2. Strong flooring that does not tear easily.
3. Solid metal attached frame which unfolds and easily locks together for the external frame.
4. A top which pushes up giving you plenty of headroom.
5. Excellent quality Zippers.
6. A fly made of thick canvas which installs easily onto the metal frame.
7. Center high of 7 feet.
8. Wall Height of 5 feet 5 or 6 inches depending on model.
9. Weight of 33 or 40 pounds depending on model.
10. High quality carrying case.

Floor size:
4 Person Tent - 8' x 8'
6 Person Tent - 10' x 10'

It is very obvious that a lot of thought was put into these tents. We strongly recommend this product-especially the 6 person tent.

Freestander Turbo Tent
The Freestander tents are very similar to the Pine Deluxe tents. The Pine Deluxe is made of a canvas ripstop, and the Freestander is made of nylon ripstop; therfore the Pine Deluxe is more heavy duty and more durable. Also the fly's are totally different. With the pine deluxe, you have to stake out the fly. With the freestander, it is not necessary to stake out the fly, you just have to attach it to the tent. Otherwise, the two tents are virtually identical.

Nemo NANO 2 Person 3 Season Tent

This two person tent is designed for space efficiency. This tent uses poles; however, they are only about 18" in length so they pack up rather small. In fact, I have never seen tents that pack up smaller than these Nemo tents do.

The poles go on the inside of the tent which means less material and less stitching on the tent. Once set up, the poles fit up real snug with the tent resulting is really tight walls. Inside, the tent feels quite large for a two person tent. In fact, it feels more like a three person tent because of the roominess; nevertheless, the flooring size does keep it classified as a two person tent.

Installation is not like most tents. You want to connect the poles and secure them in opposite corners of the inside of the tent while the arc of the poles is on the outside of the door creating the tent frame on the outside. Then pull the tent onto the frame. Lastly, attach the velcro to the poles on the inside. Once put together, you will certainly like the roomy feel and the tightness of the walls.

This is really a top quality backpacking tent.

The Nano Elite is designed for Adventure Racing and is a 4 season tent.

What differentiates the Nano Elite from the Nano is the material it is made from. This tent is for adventure racing where light weight is more important than breathability and comfort. Since the material is non-breathable, it will tend to be significantly warmer.
