Best Tent Footprints of 2026

"I use this as a shade tarp and it does everything I need. It gives excellent sun protection and feels durable. If you want something for shade or even for camping tents, I'd recommend it."

"This footprint is a perfect fit for my Clostnature tent. It’s very light but still gives good protection for the tent floor. The corner holes line up perfectly with the tent poles, making setup simple. I appreciate that it’s not oversized, so it doesn’t collect rainwater beneath the tent."

"I bought this tarp mainly for backpacking to reduce pack weight. It’s extremely lightweight, which is a plus, but it’s also quite thin. The grommets are decent, and it has a waterproof coating, though I’m not sure how long that will last. It’s a good footprint overall, but I might choose something a bit sturdier in the future."

"I’ve been using this tent mat for a couple years, and it’s held up really well with no tears despite its lightweight design. It traps dirt and leaves outside my tent, so there’s less mess inside. When it’s time to pack up, cleaning is a breeze and it dries out fast in the sun. The size is great for a small patio area, too. Highly recommend for camping!"

"During a cold and rainy camping trip, I tried this carpet and was really impressed. The rubber backing gave me extra insulation and kept the tent floor dry, even when condensation usually forms. I could comfortably sit on the floor without getting chilled, and it made the tent feel warmer throughout the night. The mat fit my four-person tent nicely and was soft and protective. For the price, it’s a no-brainer."

"This mat seriously changed my camping experience. It’s waterproof, adds warmth, and makes the tent feel so much more comfortable—almost like home. After hiking all day, it’s a relief to step onto something soft. Plus, cleaning it is super easy, and it comes in different sizes to fit any tent. I can’t think of any real downsides; the extra weight is minor compared to the benefits. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to make camping more enjoyable."

"I've used this tarp on multiple camping trips, and it has significantly extended the life of my tent. After about ten uses on various terrains, I can confidently say it's a must-have for campers who want reliable ground protection."

"This tarp is much lighter and more compact than traditional tarps, which makes it ideal for my family’s emergency bags and outdoor kits. We love that it’s made of ripstop nylon and truly waterproof, plus the price is just right."

"I was impressed by the solid quality and stitching of this tarp. It’s not just for tents—I use it as a rain cover and ground mat, and I appreciate how easy it is to clean and pack compared to the bulky plastic tarps I used before."

"During a recent camping trip, I was really impressed by how well this footprint kept my tent dry during a heavy rainstorm. The PU 2000 waterproof rating was more than sufficient, and I stayed perfectly comfortable inside my tent. I also appreciate how lightweight and easy to pack it is, making it a staple for any backpacking setup."

"For my ultralight backpacking needs, this tarp is a great find. It's very lightweight, packs down small, and holds up well even on sharp gravel and damp ground. The only minor issue I had was that the fit wasn't exactly tailored to my tent, but it still did the job and gave me peace of mind. Definitely a great value for extending tent life!"

"As someone who camps often, I found this footprint to be the perfect fit for my 2-person tent. The shiny side is easy to identify, the stitching feels robust, and the corners stake down well. After several rainy days, my tent was completely dry, and the footprint cleaned up easily. I see no difference between this and more expensive brands."

"I’m impressed with how lightweight and compact this tarp is—it fits easily in my backpack and is a breeze to bring to the beach or hiking trips. The material is smooth and keeps my clothes clean, plus it shakes off dirt and sand quickly. I haven’t tested it in heavy rain but it seems waterproof. The grommets are sturdy and make setup simple, and I love that it doesn’t have any weird smells. It’s extremely utilitarian and a great value for the quality."

"After using this tarp under my tent, I realized how truly waterproof and well-made it is. Now, I also bring it to picnics with my grandkids to keep the damp grass from soaking our blankets. The quality grommets make it easy to set up as a canopy, and the carrying bag makes storage a breeze. For all it offers, the price is excellent. I expect it to last many years."

"I got this tarp for my son’s scout backpacking trip and it turned out to be the perfect size and weight for his gear. It kept him dry and off the ground, and when he was done, he just rinsed it and packed it back into its case. The ease of cleaning and portability make it a fantastic piece of gear for camping."

"I’ve been really impressed with the high-quality build and lightweight design of this ground tarp. It packs down small, fits perfectly with my small tent, and feels like it will hold up for years."

"I took this out on a camping trip recently, and it absolutely kept the area in front of my tent much cleaner than going without. The waterproof and sturdy material really made a difference."

"The value for the price is fantastic. It’s well-made, durable, and comes with its own storage bag. I trust OneTigris gear, and this product definitely lived up to my expectations."

"I found this ground cover to be a perfect fit for my new Kelty tent, and I love how compact it is—thinner than a daily newspaper. It’s easy to stuff in my backpack and head out to the mountains. The tie-down design works great with the tent, making setup a breeze."

"As a motorcycle camper, I appreciate how small and lightweight this footprint is. The color-coded corner makes aligning with the tent simple, and I usually just store it with the tent itself to save space. I’d recommend keeping the pouch handy in case the ground cover gets wet or dirty."

"This is a great little footprint for the Mesa 2. The size is perfect and it works like a champ, just like most Kelty products I’ve tried."

"I've paired this tarp with my Naturehike Cloud Stream 3P because it’s one of the few that doesn’t come with a ground sheet. The durability really stands out, and it feels sturdier than some other models I've tried. I appreciate the grommets for minimalist camping setups, and the size is generous enough for different uses. It’s lightweight, packs down small, and fits easily with my tent. My only wish is that it had tie-downs, but overall, I’m very satisfied."

"This tarp has been exactly what I needed for camping. It’s very light, durable, and fits perfectly under my tent. Folding it back into its carrying case is a breeze, making storage and transport super simple. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a solid, lightweight ground cover."

"I often camp on tough terrain—rock, snow, wet ground—and this ground tarp has outperformed several others I’ve used. It’s extremely durable, resists snags, and offers great coverage without being too large. The price is reasonable for the quality and size. Highly recommend for anyone tackling rugged environments."

"I’ve used this Tyvek as a ground cloth for my tent and as a sun shade anchored to my truck in the hot desert. It’s super tough, reflects the sun well, and is amazingly lightweight. After a few washes, it softened up nicely and I’m impressed by how versatile it is."

"For backpacking, every ounce matters, and this Tyvek sheet is perfectly lightweight, waterproof, and durable. I cut it to fit my tent and, after a rain-soaked trip in the Grand Canyon, my tent floor was completely protected and dry. Absolutely perfect for rugged conditions!"

"This material is just as described: lightweight and sturdy, but definitely on the noisy side until it’s been broken in. It’s great for use under tents, but if you need something silent for stealthy camping, this might not be your first choice."

"I found this to be a perfect fit for our screen tent. When we’re not using it, it folds up easily and stores neatly in the included bag."

"I bought this for under our Vevor popup canopy and was impressed—it provided a great floor layer and was easy to stake along the edges."

"I ordered this for my Vevor 12' x 12' screen gazebo and it fit really well, with just a slight gap that could be due to the tent or how I staked it. The material feels sturdy, like a canopy tarp. Although the price felt a bit high, I’d still recommend it overall."
