About
A better night outside runs on the right gear.
Danny's Camping publishes buying guides for the tools and gear that keep a campsite comfortable, from tents and sleep gear to camp kitchens and power stations. Our aim is simple: help you choose the right thing the first time.
Danny’s Camping continues the spirit of the original Danny’s Camping Guide, with practical gear advice, buying guides, and camping know-how. The site is run by Danny Walker, founder and lead editor. At Danny’s Camping, we focus on gear that makes sense at a real campsite, and we pay close attention to weight, setup, comfort, power needs, and storage, not just headline specs.
How we work
Start with the trip
Every guide begins with the constraints that actually decide a purchase: group size, season and weather, packed weight, power needs and how you like to camp.
Show the trade-offs
Each pick comes with who it suits and when to skip it. We would rather tell you a cheaper option will do than sell you more than the job needs.
Say where the facts come from
Our comparisons use published specifications, included hardware, compatibility details and warranty terms. We do not claim hands-on testing unless a guide says so explicitly.
What we cover

Guides to backpacking and family tents, tarps, canopies and screen rooms, compared on real floor size, weather ratings, setup time and packed weight.
