The Mess Traveller Tent is a tried-and-true design updated for modern comfort. Based on an old military model, it offers robust durability and generous space, making it ideal for youth groups, scouting, summer camps, or even glamping sites.
Made from Tentex® PC28, a high-quality renewable polycotton blend (±65% cotton, ±35% polyester), the Mess Traveller is breathable, weather-resistant, and suitable for 4 season use. Six large mesh windows provide excellent light and ventilation while keeping insects out, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere whether you’re cooking, gathering, or sleeping.
Despite its size, with up to 16 sleeping pads, the Mess Traveller is surprisingly easy to transport and set up. Packed down, it fits into a standard city car, and with two people it can be pitched in about 20 minutes.
CanvasCamp’s Traveller Series is designed for annual camping holidays and weekend getaways with family or friends, in any season. Made from high-quality polycotton, the thoughtful design focuses on ease of use and delivers outstanding value for money without compromising on comfort or functionality.
Alternative names: Dining Tent, Field Kitchen Tent, Canteen Tent, Chow Tent, Cookhouse Tent, Mess Hall Tent, Community Tent, Senior Tent, or Dining Pavilion.
