A camping cot is a portable bed designed for outdoor use, providing a comfortable sleeping surface while camping or during other outdoor activities. Typically made of a sturdy frame and a fabric sleeping area, it elevates the sleeper off the ground, protecting them from moisture, insects, and uneven terrain. Camping cots are lightweight and foldable, making them easy to transport and set up. They come in various sizes and styles, catering to different needs, from solo campers to families. Many models also include features like built-in storage pockets or additional padding for enhanced comfort during sleep.
