A tent with a palatial porch
The Rumpus is designed with luxe camping in mind. It’s a great tent all round, but the most notable feature is definitely its palatial porch. It’s huge! So, whether you want a tent that can accommodate your dog without needing to have them sleeping nose to nose with you, or you want somewhere to keep your bike out of the elements, or just want to bring everything including the kitchen sink for the ultimate car camp, this is a great tent. The sleeping section of the tent is roomy too – so you won’t feel like you’re cramped even once you’ve zipped up for the night. It’s the perfect tent for a sociable camp with friends, or a luxury spacious camp with your other half.

You’ll probably find a Kelty pack or tent at every trailhead and campground in the 50 states, from Alaska to New Mexico. They’re one of the biggest and best-loved US outdoor gear brands. In fact, American entrepreneurial spirit is in Kelty’s DNA. Just as Henry Ford is forever associated with the Ford Motor Company, Kelty is closely associated with its founder, Asher ‘Dick’ Kelty. A tireless inventor and passionate outdoorsman, Kelty developed a host of innovations in outdoor gear, including the first aluminium frame backpack, the first waist-belt, the first padded shoulder straps and the first zippered pockets. Those are all design elements that are still found on almost every quality trekking pack sold today.
In the 1960s and 70s, these technical advances were so ground-breaking that Kelty packs were carried on expeditions to Everest, K2, Cholatse and Antarctica. But just as importantly, Kelty’s affordable and widely available packs encouraged thousands of Americans to explore the backwoods and mountains of their own country.
Today, Kelty is still dedicated to getting everyone outdoors, with a wide range of sleeping bags, tents and other outdoor equipment – including, of course, its iconic packs.
