Tent Footprint Area Calculator
Estimate cleared site dimensions and a single-row layout for multiple shelters.
What would you like to do next?
Move from tent dimensions to a campsite planning area
Enter shelter length and width, working clearance on every side, number of shelters and an additional gap between neighboring cleared sites. The calculator reports the physical tent area, the cleared dimensions for one shelter and the length and area of a simple single-row arrangement. Meters or feet can be used consistently.
Reserve space for more than the fabric floor
Manufacturer floor dimensions may exclude vestibules, poles, guy lines, doors and irregular shapes. Real placement must also respect drainage, vegetation, slope, access, campground boundaries, fire separation and local rules. Confirm the pitched size at home and use established durable surfaces where required.

Yes. The entered clearance is added to both length ends and both width sides.
