15 Best Hammocks for Backyard Naps, Camping Trips, or Anywhere Else
As the days get longer and the weather improves, we finally get to spend more time enjoying the great outdoors. For some of us, that might mean lounging by the backyard gazebo, while for others it will probably mean planning some hiking adventures, or possibly even planning a weekend of camping. But whether you want to get away from it all, or just get far enough away that you can't hear your phone buzzing, there's absolutely nothing like taking a good nap in the outdoors, feeling the gentle breeze on your face, listening to the birdsong and the creaking of trees, and just letting your shoulders finally unclench for a bit.
And for moments like that, we firmly believe that everyone deserves to have their own hammock. And fortunately, hammocks are getting more and more affordable! While you can definitely spend a few hundred dollars on high-end options, others can be had for less than the price of a couple lunches. So no matter where you like to rest—deep in the forest, or right on top of a freshly mown lawn, one of these hammocks is for you. Pop up one of our freestanding options in your backyard, hang a rope hammock on your front porch, or pack up a parachute version for a family camping trip. When you're done, these camping gifts will help round out your packing list, and don’t forget to stock up on groceries to try out these easy camping recipes.
