Rain Doesn't Cancel Camp. A Good Tarp Doesn't Either.
An exposed campsite in the rain turns a good trip into a miserable one fast. This 4×6m Oxford waterproof camping tarp provides a large, stable rain and sun shelter for family camping, beach outings, and hiking base camps. Available with 2.4m or 2.8m poles in Black and Yellow, or as a tarp-only option for those who already have poles. At 6.71kg, it's lighter than the heavy-duty version while still covering a full family group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this tarp differ from the heavy-duty 8.232kg version?
This tarp weighs 6.71kg versus 8.232kg for the heavier version. Both are 4×6m Oxford tarps — the lighter version suits family camping where weight matters; the heavier version is built for more demanding group use.
Q: Can this tarp be used as a ground sheet?
The Oxford waterproof fabric is suitable for use as a ground sheet. Ensure the tarp is clean and dry before folding for storage after ground use.
Q: Which colour is best for beach use?
Yellow provides higher visibility on a beach and reflects more heat than Black. Black absorbs more heat but offers a more discreet appearance in woodland or campsite settings.
