You can also use them for at home if your kids have a sleepover or you want some portable storage space. Final Thoughts They feel really sturdy – my husband even ended up sleeping on one for a night, during a bed-hopping evening with the kids – you know the kind. I’m 5’8″, so you can get an idea for the length of the bunk bed in the photo above. Rab Berghaus Craghoppers Montane adidas Terrex Regatta Scarpa Merrell Mountain Equipment OEX Salomon Weird Fish Dare 2b There’s an awful lot of construction that goes into a setting up camp, even with an inflatable Berghaus tent. I have to say rolling things up – mattresses, sleeping bags, you name it, is my LEAST favourite part of the camping experience. I think this is partly why the Hi Gear camp bunk beds appealed to me! I like the fact there’s no faffing around with pumps, and no issues with having to deflate beds like you get with blow-up mattresses.

Super heavy! This makes it very stable but you don’t want to be carrying it far. 28kg. You can always look at a camping trolley to help. Due to their heavy-duty steel construction most camping bunk beds are extremely strong. Carrying WeightKids says how comfy it is, would not be suitable for anyone over 6ft, but not that many people are. One of the holes was bent so couldn’t get the pole in. Pointless as you need all poles in the holes. Pros: Canvas camp beds are comfy and these are no exception. The kids will sleep very well in these.

The instructions are clear but very basic and tells you two different things about where the support bars go, we found them really hard to put together, maybe it’s because they new me the fabric is still firm and new? I don’t know. The Hi Gear Duo Bunk Bed camp beds also seemed like they would be super handy for future trips where we might need to put them to bed in a smaller space than usual. The camping bunk beds for kids were one of the new-equipment successes of our holiday, let me tell you why… Bought for the kids to save space when we go camping, we have 4 children but bought one set to see the quality and super happy with them so will be purchasing another set. We bought these beds today for an upcoming camping trip with our boys, to help save space. I lugged the heavy bag home, only to find that there are no instructions included. Despite that, they are easy to put together with a bit of strength and determination!If you were really worried about kiddy-sleeping comfort though, you could always buy a portable mattress topper for the camping bunk beds, however I found the little ‘lip’ of the edges was great at preventing our wriggly three year old from falling out of the bottom bunk. The side panels on the top bunk naturally stop that from happening. My daughters were 5 and 3 years old when we first bought these foldable bunk beds and as mentioned above, they were absolutely fine on them. I think if you have a child who is used to sleeping in a bed, they’d manage very well, especially with the side panel and lipped edges. If you were at all concerned, you could also separate the bunk beds and just use them as single camping beds, or keep younger children on the bottom bunk. How much do they cost? Once they’re up and in the tent though, as they only take up the same amount of room as one camp bed, there is plenty of space left for the sprawl of kiddo paraphernalia. If you’ve ever slept on a canvas camping tent bed, you’ll know how comfy they are. In terms of sleeping bags for bunk beds, our young kids slept in these padded Vango Starlight sleeping bags and were more excited by the prospect of who was going on the top bunk, than the softness of the bed, so were very happy with their lot.
