The Sibley 300 Deluxe is the coziest bell tent with a sewn-in groundsheet. The bath tub style floor is stitched to the tent 10cm (4in) up the side wall to keep you dry, even in standing water. The Made with our Classic Canvas (320 gr/m² or 9.5 oz/yd²), the 300 measures 3 meters (9ft 10in) in diameter with 7 m² (75 ft²) of floor space. Designed with tri-pod pole system instead of a traditional center pole, the 300 comfortably accommodates 2 campers on a double bed. Pretty light for a canvas tent, the 300 Deluxe packs down in it’s included carry bag small enough to fit in the trunk of a Smart Car.

The 300 is ideal for 2 campers on a double bed or 3 campers on sleeping pads.  To maximize the useable space in the smallest of the Sibley’s we have replaced the traditional center pole with a tri-pod pole system. 

This is the only Sibley 300 tent in the world we know of that doesn't require a central pole and thus fits a double bed. 
Our Deluxe range comes with a very heavy duty groundsheet which is permanently connected to your tent. Consequently, you cannot roll up the sides of the tent.

Spring Loaded Tri-Pod Pole Frame

To maximize useable space in our smallest Sibley we’ve designed a tri-pod pole system instead of the traditional center poles available on our larger bell tents.  The 10 piece frame is spring loaded for easy set up.  Each leg of the tri-pod is comprised of two pole sections which attach to a 3 pronged peak piece.  Rubber pole feet protect the tent and floor from the pole ends.  Although the 300 isn’t as easy to pitch as the 400 or 500, once up this little guy is as tough as they come; wind tested to 120kmph (75mph).  The top of the A-frame door is equipped with a pin that sits in a grommet at the peak of the door ensuring proper placement.  A rain cap is then placed over the pin and grommet to keep rain from running down the poles.  The canvas door zips together vertically and along the bathtub floor.  Each side of the door is equipped with loops and ropes to neatly tie back the canvas doors to hold them open when not in use.

Attached Groundsheet

Our Deluxe Groundsheet (540 gr/m² or 15.93 oz/yd²) is made of durable, thermally welded, PVC and is sewn directly onto the tent wall.  Completely water and vapor impenetrable, the ‘bathtub style’ floor rises 4 inches high to keep you dry even in standing water.  A tail gate style system with secure hooks and loops allows you to drop the bathtub wall near the door and peg it flat to prevent tripping and facilitate easy cleaning.  Quality stitching attaches the groundsheet to the tent keeping it simple and durable.  Because the groundsheet is attached to the tent the walls on the Deluxe cannot be rolled up.  Take a peek at our Ultimate or PRO series for a detachable floor and the ability to roll up the sidewalls.

Windows and Vents

Every Sibley comes complete with windows and vents covered in no-seeum mesh to keep the bugs out while providing ventilation and airflow.  Our half moon windows have zip up covers to allow you to customize your desired level of ventilation and privacy.  Each window is equipped with loop fasteners to neatly hold the covers when the windows are unzipped.  There ate 3 windows and 3 vents on the Sibley 300.

Optional Mesh Door

A mesh door compatible with the Sibley 300 Deluxe can is sold separately as an optional accessory. 

Durable Guy Lines and Tensioners

Our Deluxe series comes with 3mm guy ropes that will need to be tied on before your first pitch.  Check out our assembly instructions at the top of this page to get a feel for the initial set up process.  Our PRO series comes with pre-attached guy lines and tensioners for those customers looking for an out-of-the-box set up.    Plastic tensioners prevent edges from cutting into the guy lines and prolong the life of your tent.

Standard Stakes and Pegs

The Standard stakes and pegs are designed for easy insertion and removal from average earth, like grass or forest floor.  The stakes for the guy lines are curved like a shovel to securely hold tension in the ground, and have a lip at the top to prevent the guy line from slipping off. The pegs for the floor are round to slip through the grommets on the groundsheet, and have a hook shaped top and hold the floor in place.  All standard stakes and pegs measure 22cm (8.6 inches).  If your application requires the heavy duty stakes for high wind or hard, rocky, or frozen ground, check out our Pro Series.

Classic Canvas:

Our Classic Canvas (320 gr/m² or 9.5 oz/yd²) on the Ultimate, Deluxe, and Standard series is the perfect balance of performance and breathability.  Our proprietary treatment enhances the natural water resistance of canvas, and is excellent protection for moderate climates and casual use.  Repairable and retreatable, a properly maintained Classic Canvas tent can last for years.  Double stitched, flat-felled roof and side wall seams, seam gussets, and double-layer construction at all stress points create a classic and durable bell tent.  For variable climates, four season, or long term use check out our PRO canvas on the PRO and ProTech Series.

100% Cotton canvas provides a natural waterproofing and breathability.  Cotton fibers swell when damp, the tight weave prevents rain from penetrating and the surface tension of moisture drops on the outside combined with the steep angle of the canopy allows water to bead and run off.  Moisture held in the air on the inside is still able to escape directly through the fabric, keeping internal humidity low and mitigating condensation.

100% Cotton Canvas

Our Sibley canvas is made exclusively from 100% cotton.  Cotton is made from the seed hair of this hardy and drought tolerant plant. Sustainable, renewable, and one of the most biodegradable fabrics on earth.  Our canvas is a soft, natural, earthy beige that glows inside and out with natural or artificial light.  CanvasCamp is the only tent manufacture to carry the official Seal of Cotton®.

Stove Compatibility

All CanvasCamp tents are easily adaptable for use with a wood burning tent stove.  Proper stove placement is dependent on stove size, tent size, flu exit style, desired temperature, and the environment you intend to camp in.  One size fits all, pre-installed stove jacks fail to provide customers with the level of customization necessary to achieve ideal stove placement and maximum utility.   To ensure proper placement and ideal efficiency, CanvasCamp offers modular stove jacks (sold separately) that can be easily installed in any cotton canvas bell tent in just a few minutes.  Stove jacks are available in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can choose the jack that fits your tent and stove perfectly.
