Reviews & Ratings for Eno Nomad Shelter System — 3 reviews — Page 1

I love it! I have had my ENO hammock for a few years but unless you know the campground has trees and allow hammocks, a spare tent is always smart to throw in the car. I can now hammock camp anywhere! Plus is took less time than a tent to assemble.

Having purchased the hammock frame separately, I had to save up to by the shelter or "tent" part. The price for me is the main drawback. ENO has even put some effort into the bags or totes for their products. For both the shelter and the frame, there are separate pockets for the tent stakes - making it harder to lose them and less likely to poke a hole in the tent/fly itself. The inside height is not made for a tall person. I'm 5'5" and can duck comfortably in and out and get in and out of the hammock without a problem, but I think the door might be a bit small for my 6'2" son to maneuver through and into the hammock. The shelter is wide enough that I will be able to fit my footlocker either under my head or feet come Summer Camp. The information on the hammock stand of course advises that the stand be staked down, and this will make a difference once the shelter system is clipped on. Be aware that the length of the entire setup is 13'9", making it longer than most family-sized tents, much less the 8'x7' dome I would otherwise use for camping. If there was something ENO could add to the shelter system to make it ready to go out the door it would be a ground tarp. For the price of the entire system, I don't see why they didn't throw that in with everything else.
