Product Information

Fifty grams is absolutely nothing, and if the aim of the game is to travel light, then these are the best tarp poles for you. There are a few different options when it comes to sleeping outdoors, but camping with a tarp is by far one of the most lightweight and compact.

The strength of the tarp pole is arguably the most important feature when choosing a material, but all the best tarp poles on this list can be trusted in strong wind.They have a spike design on the foot for rooting into the soft ground like an anchor, which is a contrast to the many flat, rubber foot designs out there. Not a bad choice for beach shelters, festivals, and small groups but quite bulky for small solo campers.

The Paria Outdoor Products Adjustable Tarp and Tent Poles are not the lightest, but they are incredibly sturdy and versatile. It does also come in a steel version, which is cheaper, and an adjustable version, which is heavier, but I think the Aluminium Staff Tarp Pole offers the best all-around performance.The Odoland Adjustable Tarp Poles come as a set that by no means could be classed as lightweight, but you can obviously cut the weight in half by just taking one pole. If you want to set up a central pole to lift the middle of your roof up then this is a great choice. Thermarest is more well known for its sleeping pads, but these tarp rods for camping make a great addition to your bushcraft kit. Any time I go hiking with a wild camp, these are the poles I take; if I have the car close by, then I will often take something longer and thicker.
