Affordable Tent Rental For Festivals, Camping And Everything In Between

Southampton sits right at the centre of some of southern England’s best outdoor landscapes. The New Forest is practically on your doorstep, the South Downs stretch out to the east, and the North Wessex Downs are within easy reach to the north. Add a packed south coast festival calendar on top and you’ve got a city surrounded by reasons to camp. Whether you’re out every other weekend or just a couple of times a year, buying, storing, and maintaining your own gear doesn’t make much sense when you can just hire quality kit as and when you need it.

That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.

No more cupboards full of gear you barely use and no more last-minute panic buys. Just book online, receive at your home or work, enjoy your trip and send it back. Simple, practical, sorted. So what are you waiting for?! Check out our tent hire now and save yourself some hassle.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Southampton?

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 Southampton local heading to Isle of Wight festival or a Southampton 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.
