How much bigger is the Camp Fly than the standard Haven fly?

Coverage is 361 x 290 cm (11 ft 10 in x 9 ft 6 in), well beyond the hammock body. Haven doesn't publish an exact figure for the standard fly's footprint, but it's cut close to the tent on purpose to save weight.

Does the Camp Fly reduce the waterproof rating?

No. It carries the same 4,000 mm rating as the fly it replaces. You're paying for area, not waterproofing.

How much does it weigh?

737 g for the fly alone, or 1.19 kg packed with its 12 guylines, 12 shock cords and 6 stakes.

Which Haven tents does it fit?

All of them — the standard Haven Tent, Haven Tent XL, Haven Tent Safari and Haven Spectre all use the same suspension geometry.

Will it work with a non-Haven hammock?

Haven's own spec says it will rig over other hammocks and camping setups, though it's designed and sold as a Haven accessory.

What's included in the box?

The Camp Fly itself, 12 guylines, 12 shock cords, 6 stakes, 2 carabiners and a stuff sack.

Are 6 stakes enough to pitch it?

On a straightforward site, yes. On rocky or sandy ground you'll want your own backup stakes, the same as you would for any tarp.

Is it worth buying if I'm backpacking?

Probably not, if you're on foot. 1.19 kg is real weight to add to a kit built to be carried a long way, and the stock fly already keeps you dry. Motorcycle campers are a different case — the fly rides on the bike, not your back — so best suited to car camping, motorcycle touring, paddling trips and base camps.

Can I use it with the stock fly still on the tent?

The Camp Fly is a replacement, not an addition — you rig it in place of the standard fly, not alongside it.

How do I handle it in windy conditions?

Pull it in tighter and lower rather than fully extended. Less area exposed to gusts matters more than the last few centimetres of coverage.

Haven Camp Fly Australia: Size, Weight & Who It Suits

361 x 290 cm of coverage, over a tent that ships with less than half that

The fly every Haven tent comes with is deliberately small — Haven kept it compact to hold the pack weight down, and for most nights that's the right call. The Camp Fly is the other end of that decision: same 4,000 mm waterproof rating, spread over a footprint big enough to cover the hammock and the ground around it. Boots, packs, a camp chair — all of it stays dry, not just you.

It's bought separately — $173, fits every Haven model, and arrives with everything you need to rig it: 12 guylines, 12 shock cords, six stakes, two carabiners, a stuff sack. This guide covers the actual numbers, what it weighs against the stock fly, and who it's worth the extra kilo for.

Why the stock fly is small on purpose

A hammock tent's pack weight lives or dies on the fly. Haven's standard one is cut tight to the hammock body for exactly that reason — it keeps the whole kit light enough to carry without a second thought, and it does the one job a fly has to do: keep the inside of the tent dry.

What it doesn't do is give you anywhere dry to stand. Step outside the mesh door in the rain and you're in the weather, same as everyone else. That's not a flaw — it's a tradeoff Haven made on purpose, and it's the right one for a lot of trips.

The numbers that matter

Coverage: 361 x 290 cm (11 ft 10 in x 9 ft 6 in)
Fly-only weight: 737 g (26 oz)
Packed weight, with guylines and stakes: 1.19 kg (42 oz)
Waterproof rating: 4,000 mm — the same rating as the fly it replaces
Compatibility: Haven Tent, Haven Tent XL, Haven Tent Safari, Haven Spectre
Included: 12 guylines, 12 shock cords, 6 stakes, 2 carabiners, 1 stuff sack

The rating doesn't move — you're not trading waterproofing for coverage, you're paying for area. What moves is weight: 1.19 kg packed, on top of whatever your Haven already weighs. On the XL that's roughly a third more kit again, so who that trade suits is the real question, not whether the fly does its job.

Haven Camp Fly guyed out over a Haven Tent in forest, showing the extended coverage beyond the hammock body — Guyed all the way out. The coverage extends well past the hammock on every side — this is what "more than just staying dry inside" actually looks like.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Car camping, motorcycle touring, kayak and canoe trips, a base camp you're not moving for a few days, anywhere the weather might turn while you're cooking or packing gear — the Camp Fly is the difference between ducking under your own tent's mesh door and actually having a dry patch of camp to stand in. If you're the one who ends up cooking dinner standing in the rain because the fly only covers the hammock, this is the fix.

If you're covering distance on foot and already resent the weight of the tent itself, it's harder to justify. 1.19 kg is real weight to add to a kit that's already built around being carried a long way, and the stock fly is doing its actual job — keeping you dry — perfectly well. Buy the Camp Fly for the trips where you're staying put, not the ones where you're walking in.

Haven Camp Fly and tent pitched at a coastal campsite with the tarp extended over sand — Same fly, a different kind of trip. The extra coverage matters as much on sand as it does under trees.

It fits the whole Haven range, not just one model

The standard Haven Tent, the Haven Tent XL, the Haven Tent Safari and the Haven Spectre all use the same suspension geometry, so the one Camp Fly rigs over any of them — buy it once, use it whichever Haven you take. If you've already read our guide to the Haven Tent XL, this is the accessory that guide's rainfly section pointed you toward — this is the deeper look at it.

It isn't locked to the Haven system either. Haven's own spec says it will rig over other hammocks and camping setups, which makes it a reasonable buy even if the rest of your kit isn't Haven.

Setting it up

Twelve guylines and twelve shock cords is a lot more hardware than the stock fly's two or three tie-outs, and that's the actual cost of the bigger coverage — more anchor points to find and peg. The six stakes and two carabiners that come with it are enough to get it up on a straightforward site; on rockier or sandier ground you'll want your own stakes as backup, the same as you would for any tarp.

Guy it out fully in calm weather for the most covered ground. In wind, you can pull it in tighter and lower — same fly, less area exposed to gusts, which matters more on an exposed site than the last few centimetres of coverage.

The short version

The Camp Fly doesn't change how waterproof your Haven is — it changes how much of your camp stays dry along with you. Worth it if you're camping somewhere you plan to sit around for a while; skip it if you're carrying the kit further than a short walk-in and the stock fly is already doing its job.
