Camp Under the Stars in a Bivvy Bag

Camping Star Gazing

Experience the raw beauty of the outdoors by camping under the stars in a bivvy bag! This minimalist and immersive way to sleep outside strips camping back to its essentials—just you, the fresh air, and a breathtaking view of the night sky. Unlike traditional tents, a bivvy bag (short for bivouac sack) offers an unfiltered connection with nature while providing lightweight, weather-resistant protection.

Why Try Bivvy Camping?

Unmatched Connection with Nature – Fall asleep gazing at the stars and wake up to the sunrise, free from the confines of a tent. Lightweight & Versatile – Perfect for wild camping, bikepacking, or hiking trips where packing light is key. Eco-Friendly – Leaves minimal impact on the environment compared to large tents, making it an excellent choice for responsible adventurers. Accessible Anywhere – Whether in the mountains, on a beach, or in your own backyard, bivvy camping is a fantastic way to experience the outdoors.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Choose a weather-appropriate bivvy bag to stay warm and dry.
  • Find a safe and legal spot to set up for the night.
  • Pack essentials like a sleeping mat, warm layers, and a headlamp.
  • Leave no trace—respect nature and take all your belongings with you.
  • Bivvy bag camping is an adventure unlike any other—simple, exhilarating, and deeply rewarding. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or trying it for the first time, spending a night under the open sky will leave you feeling refreshed and connected to the wild.
