About this piece

Blacktail tents are a tried and true Big Agnes classic - light enough for the backcountry, and strong enough for the front country. The Blacktail Hotel is ideal for those who need some extra room, without the weight and bulk of a car camping specific tent. Designed with a generous oversized vestibule on one side of the tent - perfect for storing large packs, sheltering four-legged friends, or simply for hanging out in on rainy days. Burly recycled fabric means that you won't have to sacrifice durability for weight savings or sustainability - you get it all! Spacious sleeping areas and easy access through two side-entry doors make early morning entry and exit with a tentmate a breeze when nature calls. No matter where your adventure takes you, camp comfy in a Blacktail!

About the artist

Bill Gamber named the company after a peak near Steamboat Springs where he spent countless nights camping. In 2001 he had a simple insight: sleeping bags and pads always separate in the night, so why not build a sleeve that holds them together? That one idea launched a company. Big Agnes now designs everything from sub-2-pound ultralight tents to car camping palaces, all from their Steamboat headquarters at 6,700 feet.
