Hammock Camping is Fun!

Hammock camping is a form of camping in which a camper sleeps in a suspended hammock rather than a conventional tent on the ground. Due to the absence of poles and the reduced amount of material used, they tend to be significantly lighter than a tent. Their reduced weight often results in less space inside than a similar occupancy tent. In foul weather, a tarp is suspended above the hammock to keep the rain off of the camper.

The primary appeal of hammock camping for most users is comfort and better sleep, as compared to sleeping on a pad on the ground. Enthusiasts argue that hammocks don’t harm the environment in the way that conventional tents do. Most hammocks attach to trees via removable webbing straps, or “tree-huggers,” which do not damage the bark and leave little or no marks afterward. Whereas it’s easy to see a frequently used campground because of the effect on the grass, scrub, and topsoil, the presence of a hammock camping site is much harder to detect.

This has found favor with hikers and campers who follow the principles of Leave No Trace camping. Hammock camping also opens up many more sites for campers – stony ground, slopes, and so on – as well as keeping them off the ground and away from small mammals, reptiles and insects. Sleeping off the ground also keeps the camper out of any rainwater runoff that might seep in under a tent during a downpour. The relatively lighter weight of hammocks makes them ideal for reducing backpack weight, making it a good option for ultralight backpacking enthusiasts.
