Best Backpacking Hammocks Backpacking in the wilderness can be a fun and rewarding experience for everyone, but not everyone is excited about sleeping on the ground. Air mattresses have a tendency to dip in the middle, and foam mattresses are often too thin to be comfortable. No one likes waking up on the cold, hard ground, which is why many hiking enthusiasts are moving to a lightweight backpacking hammock, which not only keeps you off the ground, but also exceptionally comfortable on the go. They are also easy to pack and store, which is a bonus if you plan to be out for several days at a time.

Backpacking Hammocks The Honest Outfitters backpacking hammock is a great choice for people who are looking for a great hammock at a reasonable price. It is made of durable and lightweight nylon that helps keep the heat inside, while also keeping out wind and cold during a breezy night. Additionally, it can hold two people comfortably, which makes family camping feel more like home. This product comes with everything you need to get your hammock up in a matter of minutes: two carabiners, two heavy duty parachute straps, and a large - yet lightweight - hammock. Great for camping, hiking, or simply hanging out.

Single and Double Camping Hammock Like the Honest Outfitters model, this brand of camping hammock comes in both single and double varieties. It is made out of durable and lightweight parachute material which gives you a sleeping-on-air feeling, and it does help keep the colder air out during the evening. When packing, it condenses up to the size of a large grapefruit which makes it ideal to carry during long hiking trips. This model of backpacking hammock comes in a variety of colors, so it’s easy to choose the right color and style for your personal taste.

Double Camping Hammock The Winner Outfitters backpacking hammock is another dual-person hammock that can support up to 500lbs. It’s made of the same quality parachuting material and heavy duty stitching as other models on this list. What makes this product different is that it uses cordage instead of straps for hanging, which not only makes it easier to set up, but also allows for more give when laying down. This is the best hammock for backpacking because of how roomy it is, but it can also be used just for a single person if you’re looking for more room to move around.
