Choosing a tent for a camping or bivouac trip is never easy. But making the right choice is essential for your comfort. That's why we invite you to discover our top 10 camping/bivouac tents 2025. Our experts have selected the best products for you!


How to choose the right tent for camping or bivouac?

Whatever your intended use, it's essential to take certain criteria into account. First of all, you need to define the most common use for your tent. If you're simply going camping, the criteria will be different from those for a multi-day trek.
First of all, the lightness criterion is not to be taken lightly. In fact, when you go on a bivouac, you mustn't underestimate the importance of the tent's weight, as you'll probably have to carry it for several days in a row, and during long hours of walking. So it's best to opt for an ultra-light tent. For a camping trip, the weight is much less important, as you won't have to carry it in your backpack.
Secondly, don't forget that if the weather isn't in your favor and your tent isn't adapted to difficult conditions, you may have a difficult night's sleep.
What's more, for optimum comfort you can opt for a waterproof tent.
Finally, it seems obvious that your comfort should be a criterion of choice. Take into account the surface area, the shape of the tent, the size of the living space, the number of bedrooms, and so on.

Advice from the product expert:

Malaurie experte produit

 "For greater comfort, it's best to choose a tent with plenty of vents, and even more so if there are several of you sleeping inside. This will prevent condensation and allow better air renewal. Although single-roof tents are lighter, they often lack the best possible ventilation. So opt for a double-roof tent whenever possible. "

DID YOU KNOW?



When you decide to go trekking, choosing your backpack is just as important as choosing your tent. Pay particular attention to its storage volume, practicality, accessories and features, as well as its weight and carrying capacity.
We advise you to choose a backpack between 50 and 80 liters, so that it can hold: sleeping bag, tent and camping utensils. But don't forget that you'll be carrying every ounce of your gear, so you need to be careful about the weight of the bag and the carrying system, so as not to further complicate long hours of walking. The most important elements of the carrying system are: frames, breathability and adjustments.
