Terra Nova Awarded Best Backpacking Tent Brand 2025

Terra Nova Equipment is proud to announce that it has been awarded Best Backpacking Tent Brand in the Camping and Caravanning Club Owner Satisfaction Awards 2025. Based on real customer feedback, this prestigious accolade cements Terra Nova’s reputation for producing some of the most trusted and high-performance tents on the market.

Adding to this achievement, Wild Country secured second place in the same category, and Terra Nova was also Highly Commended in the Premium Tent Category, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering outstanding gear across multiple levels of outdoor adventure.

A Recognition That Matters

Unlike industry awards judged by panels, the Owner Satisfaction Awards are based on genuine user experiences, with thousands of campers providing feedback on their tents’ performance, durability, and value. These results make this recognition particularly meaningful to the Terra Nova team.

Sylwester Wacht, MD at Terra Nova Equipment, reflected on the achievement:

“Terra Nova has always been about making tents that perform in the toughest conditions, and to receive this award – voted for by the people who take them out in those conditions – is truly special. Every award matters to us, but the ones that come directly from our users are closest to our hearts.”

“We’re also incredibly proud of the innovation we’ve brought into our latest designs. Our new TriPlex fabric, which is solution-dyed, recycled, and C0 PFC-free, now features across much of our range for SS25. Sustainability is key for us, but we never compromise on performance. My personal favourite is the Solar Photon, an ultralight tent that’s ideal for backpacking.”

Innovation, Performance, and Employee Ownership

The past year has been a landmark one for Terra Nova, not only in terms of product innovation but also of company culture.

“In two months, we celebrate the third anniversary of Terra Nova becoming employee-owned. The previous owners sold the business to its employees, forming a trust that now owns the company. It has been a real boost to morale, creating a sense of belonging and shared responsibility. We’re not just designing tents – we’re invested in making the best gear possible, for the people who rely on it.”

A Testament to Quality Across the Range

From lightweight, technical shelters to accessible, high-performance options, Terra Nova and Wild Country tents are designed for real-world adventures. Winning Best Backpacking Tent Brand, alongside Wild Country’s strong second-place finish, is a clear sign that customers trust our products to perform when it matters most.
