This Camden, Maine, original tent is roomy for two people even with a pack harbored inside overnight.
Pros
- It looks great.
- It’s a collectible.
- It’s nearly indestructible when properly used.
- It lasts decades and decades. Mine is now 26 years old.
Cons
- It’s no longer manufactured.
- Due to decomposition of the floor material, I had to replace the floor by former Moss Tent Co. employees at Tent Repair in Maine, who did a perfect job of it.
This tent is the best tent I’ve ever owned.

I've used my tent from the Adirondaks to Costa Rica and found it to be very reliable. A bit heavy compared to newer tents but 20 years of use makes it a good investment. I'm now shopping for another because my family has grown.
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very easy

I have had my Moss Olympic for 17 years. I have put it through hell over that time. Summer thunderstorms in Appalachia, winter snow, you name it.
Too bad they went out of business.
