Camping Tent Hire Portsmouth
Portsmouth might be known for its naval heritage, but Southsea is the city’s offbeat and often eccentric heart. Jam-packed with independent shops, record stores and live music venues; a music-loving culture, combined with one of the largest student populations on the south coast, means festival season isn’t just a calendar event here, it’s a way of life. And with the city one of the gateways to the Isle of Wight Festival that is just a short ferry ride away, there’s no excuse not to go. But student budgets and festival spending don’t exactly leave room for buying decent camping gear, especially if it’ll sit under a bed for the rest of the year.
That’s where Earthrise Camping comes in.
We rescue unwanted quality tents, refurbish them and give them a second life, so you get decent kit at a price that actually works. Starting at just £7.50 per night plus P&P and a refundable deposit that is a flat £20 (the cheapest in the UK!). Plus our laid back attitude to returns means no further charges, other than the deposit, even if the tent gets wrecked. We deliver tent rentals across Portsmouth and Hampshire at least 24 hours ahead of your hire date and handle collection after you return. Just book online, take delivery, enjoy your trip and send it back. Simple, affordable, sorted. So what are you waiting for? Secure your camping tent hire for your next adventure now.

Why Choose Earthrise Camping in Portsmouth?
Flexible Delivery Options
Choose what works best for you: we can deliver directly to your Portsmouth 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 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. 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 Portsmouth local heading to Mucky Weekender or a University of Portsmouth student that is planning your summer festival, we make camping simple. Focus more on the music and less on the tent buying hassle.
