Nemo Aurora 3-Person Backpacking Tent & Footprint

Nemo Aurora 3-Person Backpacking Tent & Footprint

A roomy, livable three-person tent that delivers interior space genuinely unmatched for its weight class. The Aurora is the right call for adventurers who refuse to feel cramped at camp, with vertical sidewalls, massive doors, and premium hardware that makes setup and daily use genuinely comfortable rather than a series of compromises.

Why We Carry It
It's the tent we recommend when a group of three wants a shelter that actually feels like there's room for everyone rather than a sardine can with a rainfly.

Highlights

• Vertical sidewalls for maximum interior volume — The design detail that separates the Aurora from most backpacking tents in its weight class. Vertical walls create usable headroom and side-by-side sitting space that angled walls simply can't match. Three people can actually move around in this tent.
• Massive doors and vestibules — Large entry points that make getting in and out easy and provide generous gear storage for each occupant. A livability feature that matters every time you use the tent.
• PFAS-free, FRC-free fabric suite — Waterproof rainfly that meets fire safety standards without forever chemicals or flame retardant chemicals. NEMO's highest sustainability standard applied to the full fabric package.
• Bluesign approved recycled tent floor — Meets strict ecological standards for the component that takes the most abuse. The included footprint extends floor lifespan from day one.
• Footprint included — A complementary ground cloth that protects the floor from abrasion and rough terrain. A meaningful addition that extends the life of the tent without requiring a separate purchase.
• Custom Elements hubbed pole set — A forged hub system from NEMO's new hardware collection that creates a fast, intuitive setup experience. Premium hardware that holds up over a long service life.
• Nightlight Pockets — Diffuse headlamp light into a warm, even glow throughout the tent. A small detail that makes a real difference on late nights at camp with three people.
• Divvy Cube rectangular stuff sack — Stows more efficiently in a backpack than a standard cylindrical stuff sack. Remove the poles to split weight among the group for even easier carrying on backpacking trips.
• Gear pockets — Keep personal items organized and within reach without piling everything on the tent floor.
• NEMO Adventure Forever Guarantee — Backed by NEMO's lifetime warranty.

Best for

Groups of three and families who prioritize interior space and livability and don't want to feel like they're surviving in their shelter at the end of a hard day. A strong crossover tent for adventurers who use the same shelter for both backpacking and car camping and want it to feel comfortable in both settings.
