Campfire Tents
Horizons Unlimited has now been making the Campfire Tent since 1986. The first ones were made for Bill Mason, who made these tents popular. As a canoe outfitter we became fascinated with the idea of the Campfire Tent. We are definitely of the same mind as Bill Mason when he said,A tent should be something that you live in while you are enjoying the out of doors. Being comfortable no matter what the weather tries to do to you is an art. It takes some thought, some basic know-how, a little ingenuity and the right tent to start with.
This tent gives you a home away from home. It incorporates a bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, and mudroom, all warmed by central heating. After a wet day on the water you have a hope of drying your clothes. If it's pouring rain and you just want to sit and enjoy the view, what's to stop you from cooking a meal or brewing up a cup of coffee in dry comfort.
For over 100 years the Campfire Tent, formerly known as the Baker Tent was made of a lightweight, high quality cotton called 'Egyption Cotton' or 'sailsilk'. This quality of cotton is no longer available. Horizons Unlimited is now manufacturing a nylon version of the Campfire Tent. After much skepticism, the nylon Campfire Tent has proven itself to be worthy of our stamp of approaval. We have been using this nylon for more than 10 years in our tarps. They have stood up very well in our rental program - a worthy test! The wedge shape of the tent along with its rear windows allows moist air to leave the tent. The nylon is lighter and more compact than the cotton was and does not add weight in a rain. It is definitely worth consideration!
The Campfire Tent has been around in various forms for many years. Horizons Unlimited undertook to develop a tent that incorporates all the best features of the Campfire Tent. We also undertook to develop a tent that met with Bill Mason's approval. Bill called our tent "almost bomb-proof". We invite you to try one of our models.
Cotton Campfire Tent
Horizons Unlimited is now also making the Campfire Tent out of 6.5 oz. cotton. The material is obviously heavier than the nylon. It does however, make a very nice traditional campfire tent. It's a tent Bill Mason would have been proud of. Prices for the poles are shown separately.
Nylon Campfire Tent
We are now offering a Nylon Version of our Campfire Tent. Making this tent out of nylon is fairly new to us. The early feedback is quite good. Pictured above is the 7x7 Nylon Campfire Tent.
