Camping Tent Hire Oxford

Oxford is a city that prides itself on thinking things through. From producing the sharpest minds from the world’s best university to more whimsical worlds dreamt up by great authors; from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Oxford has always had a reputation for restless imagination and escapism. That spirit of escapism is still here today, but even the sharpest minds can default to wasteful routines when the spirit of adventure calls. In a city with this intelligence, there are smarter ways to camp, and with the likes of Truck Festival on your doorstep and other festivals such as 2000Trees, The Long Road Festival, and Mucky Weekender all within easy reach, there is no shortage of reasons not to need a tent!

Oxford is a city that would rather spend its money on having great weekends instead of on camping equipment that would needlessly sit in a cupboard or loft for 50 weeks a year. And if you’ve never camped before, why commit to buying kit when you don’t even know if it’s your thing yet?

That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.

We have tents for hire that are clean and ready to go. No experience is needed, as all our tents come with easy setup instructions, and you’ll have them pitched in no time. We deliver tent rental across Oxford and Oxfordshire straight to your door, at least 24 hours ahead of your hire date and handle collection after you return. Our deposit is a flat £20 (the cheapest in the UK!) with no further charges even if the tent gets muddy or worse, wrecked. So it’s zero risk for first-timers. Just book online, enjoy your trip, and send it back. Simple, easy, sorted. Starting at just £7.50 per night plus a £20 refundable deposit and P&P, so check out our tent hire now.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Oxford?

Flexible Delivery Options

Choose what works best for you: we can deliver directly to your Oxford address and collect after the festival, or you can collect from your nearest Evri ParcelShop and drop back when you’re done. Perfect if you don’t have storage space or don’t want the hassle of keeping a tent you’ll only use once or twice.

Affordable Festival Camping

Starting at just £7.50 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. No need for an upfront cost of £150-£200 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.

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. Better for your wallet and the planet.

Perfect for Festival-Goers

Whether you’re a Oxford local heading to the Wilderness festival or a University of Oxford student that is planning a summer festival, we make camping simple. Focus more on the music and less on the tent buying hassle.
