Camping Hammock

Swap roots and rocks for a suspended night's sleep. Camping hammocks offer hillwalkers and wild campers a lightweight alternative to traditional tents, with faster setup times and a more comfortable rest on uneven terrain. Whether you're tackling the Scottish Highlands or finding a pitch between trees in the Lake District, the right hammock system keeps you off the ground and sleeping better.

How to Choose a Camping Hammock

Comfort and sleep position matter most. Look for hammocks wide enough to allow a diagonal lay, which lets you sleep flatter and avoid the curved "banana" position. Single-layer hammocks suit warmer months; double-layer models accommodate a sleeping pad underneath for insulation.

Weight capacity and fabric strength determine durability. Check the maximum load rating (typically 100-180kg) and fabric denier. Ripstop nylon in 40D offers ultralight performance for backpacking; 70D provides better tear resistance for regular use.

Suspension systems are often sold separately, which frustrates many first-time buyers. Tree straps with adjustable loops make setup straightforward. Aim for a 30-degree hang angle from each anchor point for optimal comfort.

Insulation for British conditions is essential for three-season use. Cold air circulates beneath you, making underquilts more effective than sleeping pads alone. For spring through autumn camping, an underquilt rated to around 5°C keeps you comfortable on cooler nights.

Complete systems simplify the buying process. All-in-one kits including hammock, suspension, bug net and rain tarp remove the guesswork and ensure all components work together from the start.
