Now available for pre-order! (Estimated shipping in November)

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 for each size.
- 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. The Lounger, Chair, and Mini will be even lighter, as they are made up of fewer poles.
