REVIEWS
"The tarp was easy to set up, and the adjustable stake loops made little adjustments much easier to do than pulling the stake and repositioning! I paired this with the footprint as well and it worked great. "
"I bought this tent after my wife and I had our son earlier this year. You can't beat the weight of the tent for the room it gives and the overall price of the set up. We took it car camping and it fit the 3 of us (including his travel crib set-up) very comfortably"

WHAT WE THINK
The Big Agnes Gold Camp 5 Tarp is a game-changer for group camping trips, especially if you're all about keeping your pack light but still need enough coverage.
We recently took it on a multi-day hike in the Lake District, and the setup was impressively easy—just a few guy lines and pegs, and we had a solid shelter up in no time. Despite being ultralight, the tarp felt surprisingly sturdy. The materials held up well against wind and rain, and we managed to stay dry during a couple of light showers.
The standout feature for us was the space. With room for up to five people, we had more than enough space for everyone and our gear. It’s much more breathable than a traditional tent, so on warmer nights, it didn’t feel stuffy at all. There’s something nice about being under the stars without feeling completely enclosed, which was perfect for the mild weather we had.
However, it’s not without its drawbacks. If you’re expecting a fully enclosed shelter, this might not be for you. While it kept us dry during lighter rain, it doesn’t offer the same level of protection as a full tent, especially when it comes to wind or colder weather. On one particularly windy night, we did feel a bit exposed. If you're camping in more unpredictable or harsher conditions, you might want something with more protection.
Overall, though, if you’re looking for a lightweight, spacious shelter for a group, the Gold Camp UL5 Tarp does the job well. Just be prepared for the open-air experience and consider your weather conditions, particularly in the UK where the weather can change quickly. -
