Elk Mountain Tents’ Story
What started out as a dream over 11 years ago has now become our small family business. Justin is an avid hunter who, after decades of hunting and camping, realized there was a need for tents with better material and more features—at a fraction of the cost of existing wall tents.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our tents, and even more importantly, on our customer service. Most companies outsource their customer service, but when you contact Elk Mountain Tents, you will talk with Justin or Rebecca directly.
With the utmost care, we do our best to answer your questions and take your orders with a grateful heart, because we realize we wouldn’t be the business we dreamed of 11 years ago without customers like you. So, we’d like to say “thank you” for supporting our small business!

Our Mission
Better Canvas, Better Features, Better Tents.
Our mission is to make getting the best canvas tent as easy as possible. Buying a high quality canvas tent is an investment, but the process and price can be a bit overwhelming. There are a ton of options (all of which usually cost extra), plus a variety of canvas treatments (which, again, cost extra). And since the basic entry price point is already pretty high, you have to do it right the first time. It’s stressful! On top of all of this, even after you go through the hassle of getting the perfect canvas tent picked out, you still have to worry about taking proper care of the cotton to avoid rot and mildew!
We wanted something better. Our mission was to provide a better canvas with more features and a much simpler process. Our mission is to provide you the highest quality canvas tents at the best possible prices, so choosing the right one is a bit less stressful. Want canvas with a higher break and tear strength than cotton canvas? Done! Want all of those extra features, like 6 screened windows? Done! We put all of the most requested features into our basic model. This enables us to focus on getting more tents to you without getting bogged down by a ton of custom jobs—which means that we can offer lower prices.
We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and know you will love your new canvas tent, whether you use it as a camping tent, hunting tent, or outfitter tent.
When It Comes to Your Tent, Pay Less for More.
We do not have retailers, which makes us able to provide you the best for less. Elk Mountain Tents ships your canvas tent directly to you with no retail markup. We design our products ourselves with better materials, technologies, and manufacturers. This gives you better products at incredible prices. Check out our canvas tents for yourself!
