Bottom Line

The original camping hammock is still one of the best. It's lightweight, reliable, soft, and comfortable.

Pros

Super lightweight at only 16 oz. Made of a quick drying nylon taffeta. A very comfortable hammock for sleeping. Comes in 24 color choices. Also comes in a double size. Includes higher quality carabiners than other brands. Packs very small. A durable product that will give you years of use.

Cons

Camping straps must be purchased separately.

Bottom Line

Great durable option for hammock campers with a high quality at half the cost.

Pros

Made of high end parachute nylon for extra strength. Solid construction without fraying edges. Comes in a single (4 1/2') and double width (6 1/2'). 25 color scheme options. Includes two long 8' ropes for attaching to trees. Includes carabiners needed for getting your hammock up easily. Can carry a lot of weight.

Cons

Has some problems with splitting.

Bottom Line

A huge hammock really made for two.

Pros

Holds two people without any problems. Great for tall people because of its extra length of over 10'. Comfortable and able to handle a lot of weight – rated for up to 1,000 lbs. Includes extra carabiners for hanging. We really like the sturdy design features of carabiners attached with straps instead of ropes.

Cons

Included ropes are not enough to hang the hammock. Consider buying extra straps.

Double camping Hammock with Mosquito Netting
Check Price
Bottom Line

Provides all the benefits of a regular camping hammock with netting to keep the bugs off at night.

Pros

Mosquito netting allows you to enjoy the great outdoors without the annoyance of bugs. Netting tall enough to sit up and read a book. A sturdy hammock with triple stitching. Comes with ropes for hanging. Made from a soft parachute nylon material.

Cons

A bit more complicated to set up if you are rigging the mosquito netting system.

Bottom Line

For a starter hammock at a low price, this nylon one is a good choice.

Pros

More of a traditional style hammock rather than a camping hammock. Super lightweight and easy to store. Comes with a bag and is great as a backyard hammock at a super low price. Attachments are made of a sturdy soft woven nylon cord.

Cons

Straps have to be purchased separately.
