The Easy Camp Rands Tipi is designed to make group camping feel straightforward and sociable. Its traditional tipi shape creates a generous circular living and sleeping space, ideal for shared adventures. Whether you’re heading to a festival, planning a family gathering or setting up a relaxed summer base, the open-plan design gives you flexibility to arrange sleeping mats, airbeds or low furniture however you like.

Pitching couldn’t be simpler. The single central steel pole supports the structure, allowing you to have it move-in ready in around 5 minutes. At just 7.3kg, it’s also impressively manageable for an 8 person tent, making transport and setup refreshingly easy.

Canvas

Built with WeatherGuard 3000 fabric, the Rands Tipi is ready for changeable UK conditions. The 3000mm hydrostatic head rating offers reliable waterproof protection in sustained rain, while taped seams help prevent leaks at stress points.

• WeatherGuard 3000 flysheet – 190T polyester with PU coating

• 3000mm hydrostatic head – Dependable rain protection

• Taped seams – Reduced risk of water ingress

• PFAS-free water repellent treatment

• Fire retardant fabric – Meets safety standards

The double-coated waterproof polyethylene groundsheet is sewn in for added protection, helping to keep out draughts, insects and ground moisture. At the doorway, the groundsheet can be folded down flat or toggled up, giving you flexibility depending on weather and foot traffic.

Ventilation & Comfort

Good airflow is essential in a large single-space tent, and the Rands Tipi is thoughtfully designed to keep air circulating throughout.

• Covered roof vent – Promotes airflow from above

• Three low vents – Encourages continuous air movement

• Full mesh door – Excellent ventilation with insect protection

• Mesh door zips to groundsheet – Creates a snug, sealed interior

This combination of high and low ventilation points helps reduce condensation and keeps the interior feeling fresher, particularly during warmer weather or when fully occupied.

Frane & Pitching

The tipi’s simple structure centres around a strong EnduraMax steel pole, delivering stability while keeping setup straightforward.

• Single centre pole design – Quick and uncomplicated pitching

• EnduraMax steel pole (22 / 25mm) – Durable and supportive

• Pitch time: 5 minutes (ready to move in)

• 11 minutes (complete setup)

• Guyline retainers – Keeps things tidy when packing away

• 26 pegs included

The “pitch in one” design means the tent goes up as a single unit, helping you settle in quickly after arrival.

Glamping Touches

The Rands Tipi isn’t just about shelter — it’s designed to feel inviting and practical inside.

• Six large organiser pockets – Keeps essentials off the floor

• Central hanging point on pole – Perfect for lanterns

• EC Glamping Bunting (2 pcs.) included – Adds a decorative touch

• Repair kit included – For handling accidental damage

The open-plan layout means you can create a sociable communal space or divide sleeping areas with your own gear and furniture. It’s a great canvas for personalising your campsite setup.
