There are many ways to camp, from hitching a tent to your car to popping up an open-air structure. Sadly, most camping tents are adept at only one style.

The Altara Dual Awning Modular Camping Tent is not among them. This outdoor structure is marvelously versatile, transforming to suit virtually all your camping needs.

More than meets the eye

The best value of this camping tent is its modularity. According to the brand, it can transform into six different structures.

However, that’s a bit of an underestimation, as you can combine elements of each into a variety of other custom configurations, increasing its versatility even further.

The first two are pretty similar: tent-to-car and tent-to-gazebo. The idea here is that the tent’s awning can be directly connected to a vehicle or structure to create a seamless integration of the two.

This way, you can access your car’s amenities, storage or whatever else without having to deal with stepping outside (especially helpful in inclement weather). Or, with a gazebo or other pop-up, you can create a larger, seamless indoor-outdoor space.

The other versions include a standard full-sized tent, “shelter mode” (essentially using the tent as an open-air pop-up), and a dual-vestibule mode, which combines elements of the tent mode with the shelter mode to create a kind of open-air pass-through.

As mentioned, you can combine any of these elements into other custom configurations. Your imagination and campground needs are your only limitations.

But wait, there’s more

The modularity is only a part of the story. This tent has tons of other stuff going for it, as well.

For instance, despite its versatility and complexity, it still takes just five minutes to set up, which is aided by its symmetry — whatever you do to one side, you can do to the other.

It also has an A-frame structure built on lightweight yet strong aluminum poles. Additionally, it has all-around (stowable) mesh for breathability that keeps the bugs out and a bathtub-style floor that helps keep dirt, dust, mud and moisture from seeping in.

Furthermore, it comes with a completely waterproof rainfly that can cover the entire structure, including the dual vestibules. And all of that comes with enough space to sleep up to four full-grown adults.

With all of its capabilities and customization, this could be the last camping tent you ever need to buy.

Pricing and availability

The Altara Dual-Awning Modular Camping Tent has already been fully funded on Kickstarter more than eight times over, so it’s definitely going into production. The good news is that you can still back it and score one for yourself.

Pricing starts at just $249. However, time is limited — the campaign has just a couple of days left as of this article — so you’ll want to hurry.
