Family camping... in the trees!

For a camping experience like no other, Tentsile creator Alex Shirley-Smith has created a range of tents that, instead of sitting on the ground, are suspended up in trees. Part hammock, part treehouse, kids will be thrilled to sleep in these suspended cocoons.

Campers who aren’t fans of creepy crawlies can rest assured that the combination of insect-proof mesh and elevated floors will mean there are no unwelcomed visitors throughout the night, and nobody has to worry about trying to sleep on rocky and uneven ground. Should the weather turn sour, each tree tent comes with a waterproof fly, and in dry conditions (or if trees are sparse) there is the option to pitch them on the ground, too. www.tentsileaustralia.com.au
