Kampa Tailnest SUV Awning - 2026

The Kampa Tailnest SUV Awning turns your car or SUV into a flexible and practical basecamp. Designed to fit over the rear of many hatchbacks and SUVs, it creates sheltered space for relaxing, cooking, or storing equipment. Compact, lightweight, and simple to pitch in around 13 minutes, the Tailnest is ideal for road trips and short camping stays, with the added convenience of drive-away capability.

The Tailnest is constructed from 75D polyester fabric, offering a balance of lightweight handling and reliable waterproof protection. This durable fabric packs down compactly for easy transport while providing effective shelter from wind and rain. Its practical performance makes it well suited to touring and frequent use.

A fibreglass pole structure provides a strong yet flexible frame that performs well in varying conditions. Pre-angled poles help maximise usable internal space and improve overall stability, while thick guylines and multiple peg points allow the awning to be securely tensioned when pitched.

Attachment to your vehicle is flexible and secure, using a combination of external webbing straps that can attach to car wheels or pass through a door, and internal clip attachments that connect to the rear of the vehicle for added tension. An integrated draught skirt and surrounding baffle help seal the area beneath and around the car, reducing airflow into the awning. Optional webbing strap attachment methods offer further fitting flexibility.

The Tailnest offers excellent access and ventilation with doorways on three sides and large crystal-clear PVC windows that flood the space with natural light. Toggle-up curtains provide adjustable privacy, while window panels can be folded up and used as doors. With optional poles, these panels can also be converted into canopies for extra shade and weather protection. Door toggles, peg points for tensioning, and a simple, easy-to-build design make setup straightforward and reliable.

Inside, practical features enhance comfort and organisation. A lantern hanging point provides convenient lighting options, while Velcro tabs help manage cables or attach accessories. The open layout creates a bright, airy interior suitable for relaxing, cooking, or storing gear. Optional extras such as a fleece carpet and footprint groundsheet are available for added comfort and protection.

Lightweight, adaptable, and quick to pitch, the Kampa Tailnest SUV Awning is an excellent solution for car and SUV owners seeking extra sheltered space on the road. With versatile attachment options, effective weather protection, and thoughtful features throughout, it offers a practical and comfortable basecamp for adventures big and small.
