There are plenty of fantastic camping hammocks that will get you off the ground and relaxing by the fire in no time. Of course, that depends on how much you want to spend, how many seasons you plan on using it through and whether or not you want to add a sleeping bag for the lighter options and colder nights, but there’s enough choice out there that almost any need can be met at any budget. Not to mention the night’s sleep you get in a hammock feels totally different from the one in a tent. Here are 8 camping hammocks for relaxing by the fire.

Eagles Nest Outfitters ENO DoubleNest Hammock with Insect Shield Treatment
Eagles Nest Outfitters, also known as ENO, was founded almost two decades ago as a small operation in Florida designed to sell hammocks at community gatherings and music festivals. The brand has grown since then, but their focus on the highest quality relaxation products for adventure travelers and outdoor lovers remains the same. The Eagles Nest Outfitters ENO DoubleNest Hammock with Insect Shield Treatment is built with a high-strength, 70D breathable nylon taffeta fabric with triple interlocking stitching that’s been treated with a proprietary formula for effective and odorless insect protection.
