Written by the company

Crua Outdoors has a simple mission: build the world’s most comfortable, strongest tents, and send them out into the wilderness to give hunters and campers the best night’s sleep they’ve ever had outdoors. The secret? Our patented insulation technology. Head off on a hunting excursion, fishing trip or an outdoor family adventure, and we’ll keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. All year round, it’s a dark, quiet and comfortable tent. Our original was one heck of an over-engineered tough tent, so we built a few more Crua products – a lightweight Crua tent for your backpack, a six-person Crua for your mobile base camp, a three-person Crua for short stays, and a semi-permanent Crua for large groups. Years of fault free service in the most challenging weather conditions. Guaranteed.

CRUA has changed camping for the better!

I now have several of the CRUA products including the xTent, the CRUA Culla Solo, the CRUA Haul and the CRUA Culla MAXX. Everything is of the highest quality and works exactly as designed. It has completely changed my camping experience. Thanks.

Check details carefully before buying

We bought the expensive Loj... many issues but main one is all doors (including bug mesh) close with velcro not zips which is very difficult to close so comprimising bug protection. Unfortunately issues with loj have not been resolved to our satisfaction and I have given up the fight...there are so many good points about crua's products, temperature control, quality of materials.. but they are not good at giving a full description of their products on videos or on the website.. so I'd advise all purchasers to ask very detailed questions in writing and keep a record of answers before purchasing. There is no way to see the tent before you buy and if it isn't what you expected and doesn't work for you its an expensive mistake II wish them well, they have so much promise but I won't be buying from them again. They won't accept a return unless we pay fee and postage.

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your Loj. We have reviewed the conversation that took place around the issue you are having and we believe that all advice has been giving effectively around how to resolve these issues to the best we can. As far as descriptions I would just like to point out that your description on velcro closing all doors is incorrect. There are zips on all these doors but its the foot of the door that requires velcro to close it. The reason Crua has taken this design is to ensure the tent is wheelchair accessible. Its by design but as we said we are currently looking at this design to see if there is a way to incorporate zips at the foot also to ensure wheelchair access is still possible.

Finally we cant and wont pay for a return unless a tent is actually faulty. Our policy is that within 30 days you can change your mind and send it back but shipping would be at the cost of the customer as well as a restocking fee depending on usage. You purchased this tent in June 2022 and requested in December 2022 to have it returned so this falls well outside our policy unfortunately.

We wish you all the best and we are sorry we have lost you as a customer.

I am grateful that Tarah with HR was able to help me with my order. She is an amazing person and if you are having trouble with anything Tarah is your gal. I have been having Health problems recently and have not been able to give this review its full attention, but I absolutely support Crua Outdoors and its products and am looking forward to the arrival of my Crua Duo Max combo tent. I cannot wait to test this tent set in the cold nights that are to come.

Crua fan! We got our Crua Loj 3 years ago. And we just love it. We're about to order a Crua Duo tent and 2 sleep systems. We can't recommend their products enough. We had 1 minor issue with the Loj and their excellent customer service left us very satisfied! Thank you!

Crua AER Haul arrived!

We just received our Culla Haul to go with our Crua AER Maxx.
We set it up in the living room and tried it out right away. It was so warm, quiet, and dark in there. Exactly what we were promised! We can't wait to try it out for real.
The pandemic slowed down the shipping but the Customer Service was excellent. They always kept us informed and were very pleasant to work with.
Just one more Crua product to go with all the other Crua products we own.

2 x Culla Hammock Under-Quilts

5 star service, again!.

Hi, just received my Crua Haul insulated inner tent to go with my recently purchased Crua AER roof top tent. I am now really looking forward to camping during the winter months. I am already a Crua tent owner having used one for about 2 years. The quality is fantastic and the only thing better then the quality of the gear has been the help and assistance of every member of the Crua team I have had the privilege to deal with. My special thanks goes out to Danielle who has been the consummate professional at every stage of my purchases and a credit to herself and the Crua brand. Crua are definitely my “go to” for anything outdoors related. Keep up the great work.

Water Repellency

While on a recent trip to Joshua Tree we were not expecting any rain what so ever. Well sometimes we know the Weather Person is completely off. Day 2 of the trip we had thunder showers and lots of rain; this lasted for about 4 hrs. I was not careful when I put the tarp underneath the tent and a little bit was sticking out from underneath. Of course water got on the tarp and under the tent which then sat there for another day and a half. Not one bit of water leaked through the floor or through the rest of the tent. The Crulla Max held up very well in the rainy conditions.

I love this company!

I purchased the AER Awning to add to my AER roof top tent. I used it that weekend after it arrived and was very thankful for have a space outside to keep my gear dry without putting it all back in the truck. I continue to be impressed by the quality of Crua's gear and their great customer service.

Great product and service

Last year (2021) we bought the Crua Tri tent. Unfortunately, due to lockdown restrictions, we never got to use it that year.

Come June 2022 we planned our first camping trip and thought we'd better erect the tent in our back garden to ensure everything was there and more importantly, we knew what we were doing!

When my wife was inserting the cocoon, when she plugged in one of the connectors to its mating half on the roof of the tent it tore.

I was worried as thought than even though we hadn't used the tent, it was over a year since we purchased it.

Thankfully after checking the warranty it stated it was covered for a period of two years.

So I contacted Crua customer services and explained the situation. The initial person I dealt with said they would send out a repair kit which I was a bit miffed at! I said I was willing to try and effect a good and lasting repair but reserved the right to return the tent if I felt I could not achieve that.

Then Dermot Moriarty got involved and said what they usually do is swap the tent for a new one - this was what I was hoping for.

Dermot worked with me over the following couple of weeks to send a replacement tent and the necessary paperwork to return the damaged one. I was also returning another item to Crua which we decided we didn't want and Dermot kindly offered to let us put it in same box as tent to avoid shipping charges.

We now have the new tent and have just returned from our first camping trip where we were ultra-pleased with our choice of tent.

Excellent customer service and would certainly recommend Crua for both their product and support.

My first Crua product

My first Crua product. I was very impressed. My wife was impressed also.
My whole idea was to have a 4 season tent just because I wanted one in case I end up living up in the woods with the way things are going. Thank you for a superior product!

Outstanding product and exceptional customer service

I love my Crua Duo been using it over a year now and snapped the vestibule porch pole. Contacted customer service and Tara was great got me a replacement within a week. Can't say enough good about this company. The tent is awesome, been thru torrential rains, wind and never a problem, just my clumsy mistake breaking the pole. No problem they gladly sent me a new one. Topnotch service.

Fantastic, Fabulous, Outstanding.....

Just to let you know that I have been using the tent constantly since February. It stood empty during the 122mph wind without flinching. Which I was really surprised to see it still in the garden the next day 😆 I sussed that the sleeping pod and a heater is also great during the-1° for keeping warm. That was well after wrapping up like a Russian!!! I haven't been camping for 30 years so really I have had to learn as I'm going! As you can probably tell 😆
I have a few ideas or I should say positive criticism, at the moment for the inside of the living area, but I think that's only due to the fact that I'm in the tent constantly 😉 😀
As for the design of the tent and quality of the materials used are outstanding 👏 apart from the last RF 😆

I am looking forward for the following seasons with anticipation 😀

Thanks Dermot 😊 🙏

Great experience with the Crua folks

Great experience with the Crua folks. They really took care of our family and we can’t wait to use our tent. We purchased the cottage and it was a very straight forward set up, beautiful tent and meets all our needs. We were in a bind to meet a deadline for a camping trip and Tarah from Crua made it happen. Thanks so much !
