A small two person tent refers to the sleeping capacity of the tent, rather than the standing capacity. This is because sleeping pads and platforms take up most of the floor space when set up. This is the perfect setup for you and a companion– even a furry friend. Smaller-scale tents such as these are often lightweight and require minimal effort to set up and tear down, making them convenient for weekend getaways, backpacking trips, and solo or two person adventures.
Why a Small Two Person Tent?
A small two person tent is perfect for any type of adventure. Whether you’re camping in the backyard, at a music festival, or on a last-minute weekend adventure! At White Duck, we prioritize creating the lightest-weight durable canvas tent, so you don’t have to make compromises while enjoying the great outdoors.

How to Setup and Tear Down a 2 Person Tent
The beauty of small tents like a 1 or 2 person tent is the ease of packing, setting up, and tearing down on any type of excursion. Our simple small tent design means that in just fifteen minutes or less, your two-person oasis is up and ready to host all your adventures. The steps are easy enough for just one person to put together, too!
To set up, take all the parts out of the compact tent bag, and lay out all key components on a flat, dry area of ground. Then, take the tent out and lay completely flat on the ground, ceiling side up with the door facing the direction you prefer. Now you can loosely stake the cotton straps to the ground with tent pins and a mallet to keep everything secured down. Then, you can put the center pole together, position the pole in the center interior, and push up to raise the roof. Now you can start to piece together the door frame poles and step inside to place the pole ends into the floor. Pulling the outside guylines taut, fully stake down all the remaining pegs. And now you have yourself a White Duck two person tent!
Everything To Pack In Your Two Person Tent
Your two person tent comes together in a compact, canvas storage bag. This helps keep everything in one organized, dry place for easy packing, transportation, and storage. Additionally, a two person tent will come with a unique tool kit bag filled with everything that specific tent models could need in case of repairs or spares. Make sure you have your lanterns, extra blankets, a deck of cards, more than enough water, a rainfly, and a ground cover.
Aside from the essentials, here are a few other items that totally help maximize your little space and make it feel more homey, without feeling overboard or cluttered.
A pair of folding camp chairs and a table really help open up the front of your tent and enhance the sense of outdoor indoor living. This allows you to not feel cooped up in a tiny tent when you’re lounging around the campsite. Amp it up with an additional shade awning. This could either be an extra large tarp or rainfly that extends over the door frame and walls of your tent, or a separate piece altogether. Ultimately once it’s set up, you’ll hardly notice it’s there but will be endlessly grateful for the extra shade and UV protection it provides!
Setting up a small, compact fire pit or wood burning stove is another excellent way to cozy up small 2-person tents. Smaller-scale stoves and fire pits don’t require as much kindling as a full-size campfire, so supplies would be kept to a minimum. Don’t forget your skewers, s’mores supplies, and a good ghost story or two for a toasty night around the fire.
For the Backyard Campers
Ever feel like you need to get away but aren’t able to actually get away? Make a little at-home escape in your own backyard! A 2 person tent is the ideal – it’s small enough to not be a hassle or take up too much room, and cozy enough to give you that feeling of escape. The beauty of backyard camping is you can do it whenever you want for however long you want, without having to give up amenities like a kitchen or bathroom. Add to the ambiance with fairy lights, cozy blankets, and a little backyard fire pit or small wood burning stove to make s’mores and play a round of cards. Kick back and let your eyes adjust to the darkness after sunset for some at-home backyard stargazing.
For the Backpackers
Two person tents are typically simple, minimalist designs made to be lightweight and easy to set up. For backpackers who need to be able to carry all their gear on their person, a lightweight 1-person or small 2-person tent is all that’s really necessary. There’s no need to worry about unnecessary weight in your pack or time spent figuring out tent poles and extra guy lines. A weather-resistant, durable canvas 2-person camping tent is ideal for a backpacker as it will be the only tent needed for any season and conditions.
Perfect for On-The-Go and Emergencies
If you’re a spontaneous camper and adventurer, it’s important to consider what kind of gear you always have access to just in case. Storing a compact camp tent for 2 persons in your car or where you have quick access is always a good idea. That way you never have to worry about missing out on a last-minute music festival or be hard-pressed for shelter when you really need it.
