Pop-up/folding tent campers are a perfect option for people looking to reduce the hassle of tent camping while still enjoying its the rustic charms. Pop-ups, also known of folding tent trailers, are lightweight towable RVs designed to be compact, affordable and accessible. The side-walls, often made of a mesh material, expand and collapse for easy set-up, transportation and storage. They can be towed by a wide range of vehicles, including four-door cars, so they are great for young families and first time RVers.
