One of the best feelings when we are out camping, is crawling into our sleeping bags and curling up to go to sleep at the end of a long or exciting day.

Best Camping Stretcher Beds Australia
OZtrail Easy Fold Single Stretcher
Best No Mattress Stretcher
The OZtrail Easy Fold Single Stretcher is an almost perfect camping bed. It comes in a carry case for ease of movement and when you need to sleep, it can be set up in 10-20 seconds making it a very simple and easy bed to use.
It comes with a side hanging pocket that can store your phone or anything else you may want in the night without having to get out of bed.
The online reviews and customer feedback are all very high as this camping stretcher bed has been giving out a good night's sleep and making people happy and comfortable almost anywhere. If you like to sleep with your significant other, there is a Queen sized bed version too.
The only negative is the frame doesn't fully lock into place, but provided you are not jumping up and down, this is not an issue. For a quality night's sleep, the OZtrail Easy Fold is a solid option.
OZtrail Deluxe Double Bunk Bed
Best For Kids
Here is a set of camping stretcher beds that are perfect for kids or adults alike – bunk beds for your tent. Now obviously these beds won't fit into a small tent, but for mid-sized or large multi-room tents, they are perfect as a kid's camp stretcher, especially when you have more than one.
Additionally, if you have two adults who don’t particularly like or want to sleep above each other, they can be separated into two beds with one a little stronger than the other.
There are very few negative comments and reviews online from customers regarding these beds as they are well made, easy to assemble, and both can take over 100 kg each (the bottom can take even more).
The only real issues here are the same with any bunk beds – they are high so won't fit into a smaller tent and they do not include a ladder, making it a little difficult for small children or adults who have sat around the campfire sipping sherry for too long to get into.
The OZtrail Deluxe Double is a great buy for kids or adults due to their ability to be separated and the flexibility and versatility this provides.
