How to pick the right name

Make it easy to spot

At a festival, a name only helps if people can see it. Pair it with a flag, a bright pennant or a sign at the door so friends can find you after dark.

Match the size of the tent

Big names suit big tents: The Big Top or Eight-Person Palace. Small tents get small jokes, like Party of One or Bivy Burrito.

Lean on camping words

Tent, camp, pitch, stake, pole, zip, s'more and fly all make easy puns. Swap one into a famous phrase and you are done.

Keep the sign family-friendly

Campgrounds are full of kids. The best tent signs make everyone smile, from toddlers to grandparents.

What should I name my festival tent?

Pick something short and visible, like Headliner HQ, Glitter Grotto or Meet at the Flag, then put it on a flag above the tent. A name and a landmark make it much easier to find your camp after a late set.

What do you write on a funny tent sign?
