Why is Roof Top Tent Camping More Fun Than Regular Camping?
Before you take the plunge and go camping, there’s just one hurdle to pass! Roof top camping or regular ground camping?
We thought about it too and came up with this guide! Psst! Roof top tents won!
- Roof Top Tents are faster to set up than ground tents.
A well-designed roof top tent is just easier to set up. From a James Baroud roof top tent POV, a regular person who has never opened a roof top tent before can take around 60 seconds to set it up, which is not the time to set up a ground tent. that is for sure.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of a roof top tent is that your bedding can be left in one place when you collapse the tent. You don’t have to fold it up and put it away. Saving you time and energy.
- With a Roof Top Tent, you don’t have to be too picky about the campsite.
An obvious advantage of Roof Top Tents is that it is mounted on top of your vehicle. So all you need to do is find a relatively flat space in which to park your vehicle, and then you’re set for camping!
Not so with ground tents! These require level ground clear of stones and preferably grassy surfaces. Yet the ground should slope off so that water does not collect there in case of rain. Too much hassle, and not enough time for the fun stuff!
- A better view from the Roof Top Tent.
Depending on the height of the vehicle, you will have a splendid view of your surroundings. There is nothing nicer than laying back and admiring the scenery from your eyrie. If camping in the ground tent, don’t expect to get a beautiful view with rocks, trees, and boulders blocking your line of sight.
- Roof Top Tents tend to stay cleaner.
Because these tents are elevated from the ground, they tend to catch less dirt. Moreover, the wind cannot blow dust into the tents. Also, the rain cannot splash mud onto the tents, as is common with ground tents. So, if you’ve got a dust allergy, opt for the roof top tent option.
- Safer than ground tents
Roof Top Tents, because they are elevated, tend to be a safer bet when camping in the wild. Animals can’t climb up to the perch, safe in the elements of the wind and rain. Also, you have a vantage point from which you can watch to see if any animals are sniffing around your campsite.
