2. Book and pick up

3. Camp, then hand it back
Use it for the trip, return it as you got it, and leave a review. Longer hires usually cost less per day.
Tips for hiring tents
- Check the sleeping number: a 6-person tent sleeps 4 adults comfortably with bags inside.
- Ask the owner for a quick pitch demo at pick-up, or practise once in the backyard.
- Canvas tents are cooler in summer and warmer in winter, but heavier to carry.
