Best 2 Person Camping Hammock Reviews

Hammock camping can be one of the most enjoyable forms of outdoor adventure. But when two people want to share the same hammock, things can become a tad overcrowded.

So what are the best 2 person camping hammocks available?. Spoiler Alert: The Clark Vertex is my #1 pick for a hammock to be shared by two persons.

This is what we aim to present with these two person hammock reviews. Some people may argue that the only good two person hammock for camping is just that. 2 x hammocks. Having two people share one hammock can be very squishy.

Whenever the other person moves, you pretty much feel the impact. Bodies are squished together to make one super size body. There are plenty of double size camping hammocks out there, but not everyone likes to feel scrunched up on top of each other.

The Hammock Options A Couple Has

The solution to this, if you don’t like feeling squished, can be found below. It’s going to blow your socks off!.

For others, it’s considered a romantic getaway to sleep in the same hammock as their loved one. The thought of two bodies laying next to each other, while forgetting about the day to day hassles known as life, is the perfect getaway. Plus the benefits of remaining warm during the colder nights in close quarters with your loved one. Nothing like a bit of body heat to keep the winter chills away. But be warned, if you like your own personal sleeping space, you’re not going to get it here!.

The Other option is two have two single hammocks and set them up next to each other. In the perfect world you would find 2 x 2 tress next to each other so that you can set up the hammock side by side.

But in reality that’s not always an option. So the solution to this is you both use the same two trees. Just set one hammock up lower than the second hammock. This way you are still sleeping in close proximity of your partner. It’s not as crazy as it sounds, many people have success doing it this way as you can see on these forums.

Most Comfortable Two Person Camping Hammock

Once you’ve been hammock camping, it’s extremely hard to go go back to regular camping beds. But times have changed, you now have a partner that you love dearly. But you want her/him to also experience the joys of hammock camping while being able to hold hands at night without squashing your new found friend.

Whats the solution?.

The answer is simple: Clark Vertex 2 person hotel suite, oh I meant hammock. But it sure does feel like you’re sleeping in one of the best beds in the world on this hammock.

It’s unique, so much so it’s probably the only comfortable double hammock where you don’t have to lay on top of each all night long. With this hammock you get two separate sleeping zones under the one insect proof 1200 hole per square inch netting.

That’s right, one super sized hammock fit for a camping Kings Or Queens. Each side of the hammock is built on it’s own suspension system so that when you move, you don’t shake the hammock and wake up your partner. Quite incredible really, without a doubt the best camping invention I’ve come a cross for a long time.

A Few Facts About The Clark Vertex 2 Person Hammock

• Combined weight capacity of 700 lbs.
• Recommended individual height of 75 inches (6.25 Feet tall).
• Weighs just 5.1lbs. Weight can be split between two users for backpacking light.
• Comes with a no see um insect netting and nylon enclosure. There is a rain fly designed for the Clark Vertex, but it is sold separately to keep the price lower for those that don’t want the fly.
• Comes with poles, carry bag, ropes, manual and aluminum drip rings that you use as the suspension system.

It’s The Hammock Couples Dream Of

So maybe you don’t dream about hammocks, but you will certainly be dreaming on the inside of the Clark Vertex. With the exception of the rain fly, this hammock has everything you need to go camping or back packing immediately.

If you don’t like the ropes that come with the hammock you can substitute them out for your own gear. However, this is not advised by Clark Vertex unless you’re a seasoned hammock camper.

The reason for this is that the Clack Vertex lines are waterproof and don’t stretch as much. While also having a thicker stature so that you can tie the hammock directly to a tree using the aluminum drip rings to adjust the suspension level of the hammock.

Overall Thoughts

My overall opinion of the Clark Vertex is that you won’t find anything better that offers the benefits of hammock camping, but for two people in the same set up. It’s great how they kept the rain fly separate to lower the price for those that sleep under their own tarp.

Being able to tie directly to a tree without using webbing straps is a huge bonus. While you can use tree straps as well to connect your lines, if the unthinkable happens you can still hang the hammock directly to the tree. Nice back up plan. The only real negative is that it is a little pricey. But I guess that’s what you pay for the comfort of a true two person hammock.
