The Kelty Backroads Shelter turns any campsite into a legit basecamp. Toss it up on the rear or side of your vehicle — truck, SUV, van, hatchback — and you've instantly got a covered outdoor room. Roll down the side walls for privacy and wind protection, or roll them up to let the breeze in. Setup is genuinely fast, and it works with just about any passenger or recreational vehicle thanks to the universal attachment system.
Why we love it
More covered space means more room for the people, gear, and cold drinks that make a camp trip great. Whether you're sheltering from afternoon rain, shading out from the Texas sun, or just claiming your territory at a crowded campground, the Backroads Shelter has your back — literally.
