The Kampa range at Snowleader

Family camping tents

Kampa camping tents are at the heart of our selection. Designed to accommodate two to six people depending on the model, they focus on interior comfort and easy pitching.

• 2 to 3 person tents: models like the Sandwood or Mossborn-K are ideal for couples or small groups who value lightness and simplicity
• Family tents: models such as the Wanderlight-K or Mod 250 offer more space and headroom for longer stays with several people
• Tents with vestibule: several models include a sheltered entrance area for storing shoes and everyday gear out of the rain
• Quick-pitch models: some Kampa tents use pre-shaped poles for faster pitching, a real bonus after a long day on the road or trail

Footprints and groundsheets

The groundsheet, also known as a footprint, is a tarp placed between the ground and your tent. It protects the inner tent from stones, moisture and wear. Kampa offers footprints specifically sized for each of their tents, ensuring a precise fit without excess material that could trap rainwater.

• Tent floor protection: the tent's base fabric wears quickly against stones and roots. The footprint acts as a sacrificial layer
• Moisture insulation: it limits moisture rising from the ground during cool nights or morning dew
• Easy cleaning: when packing up, simply clean the footprint instead of the entire tent floor

Camping tables, chairs and storage

A good campsite also means a comfortable outdoor living space. Kampa offers folding, compact furniture designed for camping:

• Folding tables: lightweight and easy to set up, perfect for meals or food prep
• Camping chairs: with comfortable backrests and folding frames, they set up in seconds
• Kitchen cupboards and shelves: to organise crockery, food and utensils in a dedicated space
• Bivouac tarps: standalone tarps that create a sheltered area outside the tent, useful for cooking or sun protection

How to choose your Kampa equipment?

Choosing your tent by group size

The number of people is the first factor when choosing a Kampa tent. Here are some practical guidelines:

• 2 people: choose a 2-person tent for a couple travelling light. For extra comfort and space for gear, a 3-person tent is more suitable
• 3 to 4 people: a 4 or 5-person tent offers a good balance between interior space and portability, with room for bags and a comfortable living area
• Family of 4 or more: Kampa family tents (5 to 6-person) often feature several separate bedrooms and a communal area. Ideal for longer camping trips
• Interior height: for multi-day stays, a tent you can stand up in or nearly so makes a real difference to daily comfort

Preparing your campsite properly

A tent alone isn't enough for a comfortable camp. A few accessories really make a difference:

• The right footprint: every Kampa tent has its own dedicated footprint. Get it when you buy your tent to extend its lifespan
• Folding furniture: a table and two chairs turn a simple pitch into a pleasant living area
• Storage: a cupboard or kitchen shelf keeps your gear off the ground and makes daily life easier
• The tarp: in changeable weather, a tarp stretched over the living area adds valuable protection from sun or rain

FAQ: All about Kampa

How do you care for your Kampa tent?

A few simple steps will extend the life of your Kampa tent over many seasons:

• Always dry the tent completely before storing, even if it feels dry to the touch. Packing away a damp tent leads to mould that damages the fabric
• Clean stains with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage the water-repellent treatment
• Regularly check the condition of poles and pegs. A cracked pole or bent peg can cause problems next time you pitch
• Store the tent in a dry, stable-temperature place when not in use
• Reapply a waterproofing spray after several seasons of intensive use to restore the fabric's performance

What is the purpose of a footprint under a tent?

The footprint is a protective tarp placed between the ground and the tent's base fabric. It serves three main purposes: it protects the tent floor from stones, roots and abrasion that would cause premature wear; it limits moisture rising from the ground during cool nights; and it makes cleaning easier when packing up, as you only need to clean the tarp instead of the tent floor. With Kampa, each tent has a dedicated, precisely sized footprint to avoid excess material and water pooling in the rain.
