If you crave an outdoor experience that is more remote and off the grid, dispersed camping is exactly what you need. Unlike traditional campsites, dispersed camping allows you to set up camp in undeveloped areas, far from the crowds and noise. Dispersed camping offers total freedom by letting you pitch a tent or park a vehicle on public lands without the formalities of a designated campground. To make your dispersed camping experience both comfortable and convenient, our Disc-O-Bed™ products are the perfect companions, designed to help you rest well no matter where you roam.
Whether dispersed camping within a national forest or on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, camping dispersed offers adventurers the chance to immerse themselves in pristine environments with fewer or no amenities. While this can be a rewarding way to connect with nature, comfort becomes a top priority since no facilities like picnic tables or level surfaces exist. That is where our compact camping cot solutions come in, ensuring you will sleep comfortably off the ground no matter the terrain.
Finding a flat, clean sleeping surface can be challenging when embarking on a dispersed camping trip. Our Disc-O-Bed™ solves this problem by providing a durable, portable, elevated sleeping solution. Unlike traditional sleeping pads or air mattresses, our compact camp cot features a sturdy beige, powder-coated, heavy-duty, robust, anti-rust steel frame, and a water-resistant 600D polyester fabric PVC-coated or 1200D polyester fabric PVC-coated sleeping deck (depending on the chosen size), offering proper support without sagging or stretching and easy to clean.
Our Disc-O-Bed™ modular 3-in-1 design is one of its standout features. Configure it as a bunk bed to save space, two single cots, or a sitting bench, depending on your needs. This versatility is perfect for dispersed camping because you can quickly adapt to different terrains or scenarios. With a tool-free assembly and a unique disc system, setting up and breaking down is quick and easy, even after a long day of hiking or exploring remote areas.
Additionally, our compact camping cot is built tough for all outdoor environments. Whether camping in the woods, on a rocky plateau, or by a lake, our Disc-O-Bed™ensures you will always get a restful night’s sleep, so you are ready for another day of adventure.
