Best Camping Tarps

Best Camping TarpsTo find all the best camping tarps on the market check out the lightweight tarp tents list.

Best Camping Tarps

Ranking the best of anything is difficult, but for this list of best tarps for backpacking or camping I've judged best on several different things including weight, reviews, reputation, and features so that you can find the best camping tarps available.

Here are a few of the best camping tarps that qualify under those criteria.

Best Camping Tarps List

  • GoLite Poncho Tarp - A list of camping tarps wouldn't be complete without at least one poncho tarp. The Poncho Tarp from GoLite is one of the lighter poncho tarps on the market and if your idea of best camping tarp is versatility the Poncho Tarp from GoLite would be a good choice.
  • ZPacks Hexamid - If you're willing to use Cuben Fiber then the Hexamid from ZPacks is an obvious choice of camping tarp. The Solo version ranks at #1 by weight on the lightweight tarp tents list, so if weight is your main criteria for best camp tarp then consider the Hexamid.
  • Bozeman Mountain Works Stealth NANO X - The Stealth NANO X is made from another very lightweight but less known fabric called Hi-Bias Spectra Mylar. The innovative fabric means the Stealth NANO X comes in only a few grams heavier than the Hexamid, making it the #2 camping tarp by weight and again, if weight is your chief concern as far as best camping tarps goes then consider the Stealth NANO X.
  • MSR E-Wing - If you don't want to have to worry about extremely lightweight fabrics that are a little on the delicate side then something like the E-Wing might be for you. It's never going to win any awards for weight, but it's a more durable fabric that will stand up better to use and abuse.
