Double Swags

Shop Quality Double Camping Swags in Australia

Camping as a couple means sharing a shelter, and a cramped one ruins the trip faster than bad weather. A double camping swag gives two adults room to sleep, roll over, and keep their gear close without elbowing each other all night.

At H. Rehfisch & Co., our range of double swags for sale includes dome, freestanding, and envelope styles, all built from heavy-duty canvas for Australian conditions. Buy double swags online for fast shipping, or swing by our Ballarat camping shop to see the range in person.

Why Choose a Double Swag Over Two Singles?

Two single swags weigh roughly 10-18kg combined and take up twice the space in a ute tray. A double camping swag gives you a shared sleeping space in one package, usually weighing between 10 and 15kg. That’s less weight, less bulk, and one setup instead of two.

Double swags also fit a queen-size sleeping bag or two singles zipped together, which means you can share warmth on cold nights instead of freezing solo in separate shelters. For couples who camp together regularly, a double swag is more practical and more comfortable than splitting into two setups.

Styles of Double Swags: Dome, Freestanding, and Flat Pack

Double swags come in three main styles:

  • Dome: Two or three hoops create a roomy shelter with good head clearance. Most popular for couples because you can sit up inside, and the peaked canvas sheds rain well. Setup takes a few minutes longer, but the comfort is worth it
  • Freestanding: Single hoop at the head end with a tapered design toward the feet. Lighter and faster to set up than dome styles, but with less internal space. Good for touring couples who prioritise pack size
  • Flat-pack/envelope: Heavy-duty canvas sleeping bag for two. Lightest and fastest setup, but minimal head clearance and ventilation. Best for dry conditions and quick overnighters

If you're not sure which style suits your setup, swing by our Ballarat store and we'll walk you through the options. We can match a swag to how you camp, where you're headed, and what you're carrying it in.

What to Look For in a Reliable Double Camping Swag

Canvas weight and mattress thickness matter even more in a double swag because two bodies generate more heat and moisture overnight. When you’re looking to buy double swags, consider the following:

  • 10oz canvas minimum with mesh panels and storm flaps to manage condensation and airflow
  • 70mm high-density foam mattress (anything thinner and the heavier person sinks into the lighter person’s space)
  • Full-length zips on both sides so either person can get in and out without climbing over the other
  • Sealed seams, a PVC bucket floor, and reinforced pole sleeves for longevity
  • Self-inflating mattress options for extra comfort on longer trips

Setting Up Camp for Two

A double camping swag works best on flat, cleared ground with a slight slope for drainage. Clear rocks, sticks, and debris before laying down. If you’re base camping for more than a night or two, a groundsheet underneath extends the life of the PVC floor and keeps the underside cleaner.

Pair your double swag with gear from our hunting shop for a complete camp setup. If your trip involves time in the bush, check our fishing shop for rods, reels, and outdoor accessories. Our gun shop stocks everything for the shooting side of the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Swags

How Heavy Is a Double Swag?

Most double swags weigh between 10 and 15kg, depending on canvas weight, mattress thickness, and frame style. Dome models with thicker mattresses sit at the heavier end, while flat pack styles are lighter. Check the packed weight before buying if you’re carrying gear any distance from the car.

Will a Queen Sleeping Bag Fit Inside a Double Swag?

Most double camping swags are sized to fit a queen sleeping bag or two standard singles zipped together. Internal widths typically sit around 130 to 150cm. Check the swag’s internal dimensions against your sleeping bag size before buying to ensure the fit is right.

How Do I Prevent Condensation in a Double Swag?

Two bodies produce more moisture overnight than one, so ventilation matters. Open mesh panels where possible and leave the top flap partially unzipped if conditions allow. Canvas breathes better than synthetic materials, and a well-seasoned poly-cotton blend manages condensation better than untreated canvas.

Can Two Tall People Sleep in a Double Swag?

Most double swags measure 210 to 220cm long internally, which suits two adults up to about 185cm each. Taller couples should check internal length and head clearance before buying. Dome styles offer the most headroom, while flat pack styles can feel tight for taller campers.

How Do I Dry a Double Swag Quickly?

Unroll your double swag fully and stand it up or drape it over a clothesline, fence, or vehicle rack in direct sun and breeze. Canvas dries faster when both sides get airflow. Never roll and store a damp swag, as mould sets in within hours in warm conditions.

Are Double Swags Suitable for Family Camping?

Double swags fit two adults comfortably, but they’re not designed for adults and children sharing. For family setups, pair a double swag for the adults with single swags for the kids. This gives everyone their own space and keeps gear organised across the camp.
