Find The Best Camping Cot: Your Ultimate Comparison Guide

When you're out camping, you want something that can be set up in a flash and actually has some comfort. Sleeping up off the ground has some good advantages including not having to lay on the freezing cold ground in the winter and fall. Also, you'll wake up with fewer insect bites even when sleeping in your tent. Most campers and backpackers find that even when sleeping for one night in the great outdoors, having a camping cot can give your back a much needed break. Cots offer support and comfort where sleeping pads can fall short.

Check out the table below and the analysis here on the site to help you figure out what camping cot is best suited for your needs.

I know everybody has their own preferences when it comes to camping cots, but if you're looking for an objective review, I think you've come to the right place.
