FEATURES:
- Turtlebug’s tent-style aluminum poles pack down into a remarkable 18″ length, so the stand can easily fit in a backpack duffel, or suitcase. Scroll down to see estimated packed dimensions.
- The shock cords within the poles allow for an impressive SUB ONE MINUTE set-up time. Pull it out of your trunk and get to relaxing right away. Hold onto the patent-pending Turtlebug hubs, and watch the stand nearly put itself together!
- The glass-reinforced nylon hubs are not only lightweight, but incredibly strong. They are engineered to withstand forces in all directions, as well as accommodate your tarp, sunshade, pack, and hammock.
- Though not as lightweight as our Cricket Hammock Stand, the Turtlebug Camper will boast an impressive 17 lb (approximate) pack weight. (This is an estimation based on our prototype and is our best calculation at this time.) The Lounger, Chair, and Mini will be even lighter, as they are made up of fewer poles.
When can I buy a Turtlebug Hammock Stand?
Turtlebugs are currently in production. We completed a very successful Kickstarter to raise funds for the first batch and we’ve been working hard ever since to bring it to market! Our (estimated) timeline for completion is as follows:
July 2024 – finish production
August – September 2024 – ocean transit, quality control, and organization at DutchWare fulfillment center
(We may also begin accepting pre-orders during this phase IF we are certain the final production order has met our standards. There will be a slight discount for those who place a pre-order. Be sure and get all the updates by signing up for our e-mail list and/or joining our private Facebook group!)
October 2024 – ship Turtlebugs to all Kickstarter backers, then pre-orders, then open up retail sales!
What are my size options for Turtlebug?
Turtlebug is easily modified into FOUR sizes. From the mini to the chair to the lounger to the camper, all of your bases are covered. Scroll down to see a description of each.
TURTLEBUG CAMPER
Final Retail Price: $380 (tarp extension poles included)
The CAMPER size is the largest, because it is made to hold up to an 11’ camping hammock – without shortening the hammock! You can easily get this size by adding a single pole segment to your Turtlebug Lounger ridge pole. Whether you’re wanting to try hammock camping on a budget before going all in, or you’re a seasoned hammock camper looking for a quality budget hammock stand, Turtlebug’s got you. We’ve also come up with an easy tarping solution, so don’t worry about getting your rainfly to work!

You’ll just need extra pole segments. Those will be available in our online store once the Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.
Turtlebug Chair makes a great beach item.
