Most online tents in Australia ship from overseas warehouses, which is why "fast delivery" usually means six weeks. Ours don't. We hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses and dispatch within 1-2 business days. Tents from $40.
What tent do I need?
Tents come in 2 person to 8 person sizes. The right choice depends on your group size, use case, and budget. Measure your gear first and check product specs before ordering.

Quick Buyer's Checklist
-
Person rating: Buy one size up — a "4 person tent" only fits 4 without gear
-
Season rating: 3-season for summer camping, 4-season if you're in alpine areas
-
Waterproof rating: Look for 2000mm+ head hydrostatic for reliable rain protection
-
Setup time: Pop-ups pitch in 60 seconds; cabins take 15–20 minutes with two people
-
Packed weight: Matters if you're hiking; less important for car camping
What most sites won't admit
Almost every tent sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam or South-East Asia — including ours. The real difference between online retailers isn't where the product is made. It's what happens after it lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" turns into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: person ratings are misleading. A "4 person tent" fits four people lying shoulder to shoulder with zero gear space. Realistically, a 4 person tent is comfortable for 2 adults with gear. Always buy one size up from what you think you need.
