Looking for a one-person tent? We’ll be sharing a list of the best tents for one person (including a few different types of tents) after researching 60+ options.
Why Get a One-Person Tent?
If you plan on being the only person in your tent, a single person option is a great choice for a few different reasons.
- Takes up less space for small campsites
- Since there is less open space inside, your body will warm up quicker
- Easier to carry
- Often more affordable than multiple-person tents
