Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between

Plymouth, a city that is built on naval pride and a working-class identity that doesn’t do pretension, it’s a place where people graft hard and play harder. But there’s a creative shift happening too, a bid to become the UK city of culture 2029 is adding a new edge to a city that’s never needed permission to do its own thing. That same no-nonsense energy extends to how Plymouth does the outdoors. Dartmoor is right on your doorstep, Cornwall’s coastline starts just over the border, and some of the region’s best festivals such as Boardmasters, and the Great Estate are all within striking distance. Slightly further afield the likes of Glastonbury and Boomtown are also simple to reach. Which means the thing about living here is that no two trips look the same. One weekend you’re at a festival with thousands of people, the next you’re tucked away on Dartmoor with nothing but sheep for company. Buying one tent to cover all of that? You either end up with something too big for solo trips or too small when your mates decide to tag along. (or several different tents and not enough storage space!)

That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.

Book online, and we’ll deliver your tent rental across Plymouth and Devon at least 24 hours before your hire date. With both 2-person and 4-person options, you hire what you actually need rather than making do with what you own. Enjoy your trip, send it back, we’ll handle the cleaning and maintenance. Every tent we hire out has been rescued and refurbished, giving unwanted tents a second life rather than letting them end up in landfill. It’s a system that keeps quality high and prices low, starting from just £7.50 per night plus a £20 refundable deposit and P&P. Check out our tent hire now.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Plymouth?

Affordable Camping

Starting at just £7.50 per night with a £20 refundable deposit plus P&P, hiring a tent is more affordable than buying, especially if you only attend one or two festivals a year. Whether you’re a Plymouth local heading to Boardmasters or a Plymouth Uni student that is planning your summer festival, we make camping simple.

No need for an upfront cost of £75-£150 for a tent that you’ll store for 340+ days per year or buying a cheap £50 one that is about as robust as sleeping in a bin-bag. And unlike buying, you’re not left struggling to sell a used tent for a fraction of what you paid when you’re done with it. Meaning you’ll have more space for storage and less kit needlessly knocking around.

Delivery & Collection Sorted By Us

We bring the start of adventure to your doorstep and then take the muddy bits away once you’re done! We will deliver your tent the day before your hire starts and arrange collection the day after your hire end date. Just make sure to arrange a lazy day on the sofa, as our couriers will arrrive between 7am and 8pm on those days.

Perfect if all you want to do is camp, as we handle the logistics across the UK.

Circular & Sustainable

We’re committed to reducing festival waste. Every tent we hire out prevents a tent being abandoned at a festival or ending up in landfill after one use.

Our tents are used multiple times, properly maintained and kept in circulation. We even save unwanted tents and put them into circulation. Better for your wallet and the planet.

No Hidden Clauses

Traditional tent hire companies often demand deposits of £100+ and have hidden cleaning and replacement charges.

We’re not like them! We know you just want to have a good time without worrying if that speck of dirt will cost you 30 quid of your deposit. So we handle the cleaning and you’ll only lose your deposit if the tent is returned in an unhygienic state, completely wrecked or not returned at all!

We’re laid back about minor damage and dirt, so you can enjoy yourself more.
