9 Best Camping Hammocks

Much like the Serac Classic that also appears on this list, support, sturdiness, and durability are an excellent quality of this camping hammock.

This is the first camping hammock we’ve seen that claims to hold over 500 pounds and customers are totally sold after using it! So, if you want a true “XL” camping hammock, this is it.

Although this probably isn’t the lightest of camping hammocks, the fact that it can hold so many people (or things) makes it a great hammock to take along anytime you head outdoors. One customer has even been using this as a swing, too, so it appears to have multiple uses other than just serving as a comfy place to rest.

Despite its size, this camping hammock is very reasonably priced which seems to be a common theme among Serac’s line of hammocks.

This double camping hammock was built tough using Kammok’s proprietary fabric and it’s what customers love the most about it.

The Roo can hold up to 500 pounds (the most we’ve seen so far), so it’s perfect for larger or taller campers as well as couples who want to be close, but not uncomfortably close.

It’s a little bit on the heavier side, so you might not want to go backpacking with this. That being said, it’s a really well-made camping hammock and we don’t see how you could go wrong with taking it into most situations with you, especially if you want to be warm and comfortable all night.

This one’s a little higher than the average in price. You also need to consider the cost of purchasing straps for it, too, since it doesn’t come with any.

In addition to being an all-around well-made hammock, you’ve got a super strong suspension system to ensure that you’ll never drop to the ground or get tipped out of your hammock in the middle of the night with one wrong move.

If you’re under 6’ in height and 250 pounds in weight, this single camping hammock will be the perfect fit for you.

This is a pretty versatile hammock, so you should be able to use this wherever and whenever you want, so long as you’re not planning to share your sleeping space. And since it doubles as a ground lounger, you can find even more uses for it if you come prepared with camping poles.

Okay, okay… This is an expensive camping hammock, but you’re getting (nearly) everything you need here. In addition to the hammock, there’s a bug net, rainfly, pocket storage, suspension system with ropes, and polyester webbing straps. The only thing it doesn’t come with is a sleeping pad.

One of the coolest things about buying a camping hammock from Dream Hammocks is that almost every piece of the hammock is customizable–this includes in the fabric (and strength) of your hammock. When you order the Thunderbird, you can choose from a variety of nylon fabrics that can hold different weight capacities. You can also order additional straps if you want to ensure that your hammock stays firmly in place from wherever you hang it (though no one has complained of this issue so far).

Although these hammocks could hold two smaller occupants, this is probably best used as a single. Just be sure to check the weight requirements before deciding which type of fabric you want the hammock made with.

Dream Hammocks labels this as a “four-season hammock” and there’s good reason for it. Not only does this camping hammock come with the overcover and underquilt, but it also has a bug net you can use. Users have also bought the separate tarp add-on in order to increase the internal warmth when inside the hammock. That’s why the customization factor of this is so cool. You can add and remove different layers based on your unique situational needs!

This is a bit more expensive than many of the other single camping hammocks you might find, but remember that these are custom-made. You’re also paying for excellent customer service and support to ensure that you get everything that you need from this purchase.

The weight limit on this is 400 pounds, which is the same for most double camping hammocks. The main difference is that this one doesn’t have any user-reported issues with seams fraying or separating altogether.

Adventure Junkies did a roundup of the best camping hammocks and gave three of Grand Trunk’s hammocks a spot in their top 10. The Grand Truck Double was named “Perfect for Couples” because of how spacious it is, though we’d say this works just as well for taller or larger singles as well.

This is made from high-strength parachute fabric which means it’s sturdy enough to use in your backyard with a boatload of kids or while out on a romantic camping getaway in the woods.

Pricing is about the same as what you’d find for most of the mid-tier camping hammocks.

This hammock should easily hold up to 400 pounds, which means it’s relatively safe—and comfortable enough—to double up in this one.

It’s advertised as a double. Unlike some double camping hammocks that have a tendency to wrap users up in an uncomfortable cocoon, this one doesn’t appear to have that issue.

This should be used as a strictly daytime or warm weather camping hammock. According to The Hammock Expert: “The double nest hammock provides excellent breathability to prevent users from sweating from their backs. However, you may want to obtain some precaution when resting outside on a cooler night because cold breeze will cool you down even while you are in a sleeping bag.”

Since most user reviews online compare the ENO DoubleNest to whichever camping hammock they purchased, I can tell you that many people consider this too expensive for what you get. That being said, if you want a reliable and well-made double camping hammock, you should expect to pay a little more to ensure that’s what you get.

Customers and experts alike agree that the woven nylon fabric and heavy-duty triple stitching make the Neolite Double a camping hammock to reckon with. In addition to being super durable, it also provides a supportive base to lie on.

This one is wider than most double camping hammocks, though it does still only hold up to about 400 pounds. So we suggest this hammock if you’ve got two smaller people, who don’t want to feel like they’re lying on top of each other, or one larger person, who wants to spread out.

If you’re planning to take a backpacking trip, this camping hammock gets my vote. Really, this hammock would be good for any situation where you plan to do walking or hiking and you want to bring a hammock along.

This one’s priced similarly to the ENO DoubleNest and we’d say it’s about on par with the level of quality too, so it really comes down to a matter of taste.

Stability and security shouldn’t be a problem with this hammock as it’s often touted for its security and durability.

Simply put, this is a single. The manufacturer claims that this parachute nylon fabric can hold over 400 pounds which makes this one of the toughest and greatest weight-bearing single camping hammocks available.

Most customers use this for hanging out during the day or catching quick naps, but not for much longer than that. We didn’t see much about anyone using this to actually sleep overnight in the Serac Classic, so we’d recommend not relying on this for that.

The Hammock Expert named the Serac Classic their Editor’s Choice because of the overall bang for your buck. We can’t argue with that.
