A-Frame campers combine the simplicity of tent camping with the comfort of hard-sided walls. Quick to set up, easy to tow.

What is an A-Frame Camper?

A-Frame campers are small, hard-sided folding camper that gets its name from the A-shaped roofline it forms when set up. Built on a lightweight frame, these campers are easy to tow with small SUVs or even some cars. They provide better insulation, security, and durability than soft-sided pop-ups, while still being compact enough for easy storage.

Inside, you’ll usually find a sleeping area, small kitchenette, and sometimes a dinette that converts into a bed. They’re ideal for campers who want a quick setup, light towing, and a comfortable shelter without the bulk of a larger RV.
