ALPS Mountaineering 4-Person Tent Footprint, Charcoal — Polyester, 17 oz, Corner Webbing Loops

The ALPS Mountaineering 4-Person Tent Footprint is a tailored charcoal floor saver that shields your tent’s floor from abrasion, moisture and dirt while simplifying setup with corner webbing loops.

Keep your tent investment cleaner and longer-lasting by adding a purpose-built footprint. This ALPS Mountaineering footprint is cut slightly smaller than the tent floor so it tucks neatly under the tent base, preventing water from pooling between layers and reducing wear from rough ground. Constructed from durable polyester and weighing just 17 ounces, it balances protection and portability for weekend car camping or extended trips where you want a quick, effective ground barrier.

How does this footprint protect my tent floor during camping?

The footprint creates a sacrificial layer between your tent and the ground, absorbing abrasion and shielding the tent’s floor fabric from sharp stones, sticks, and general wear. Because it’s abrasion-resistant and water-repellent, it reduces the chance of damp seeping through and keeps dirt from being tracked into the tent.

• Made of durable polyester fabric for toughness against rough terrain
• Smaller cut than tent floor to prevent water pooling under the tent
• Acts as a moisture and dirt barrier for easier cleanup
• Lightweight 17 oz construction keeps your pack weight low

Will this footprint fit my ALPS Mountaineering 4-person tent and stay in place?

Yes—the footprint is specifically sized for the ALPS Mountaineering 4-person tent (dimensions 8'2" x 7'2"). Corner webbing loops let you stake the footprint with your tent stakes, making it simple to align and secure beneath the tent floor so it doesn’t shift during setup or windy conditions.

• Precisely cut to match the 4-person tent dimensions (8'2" x 7'2")
• Webbing loop corner attachments for quick staking and alignment
• Designed to be slightly smaller than the tent floor for proper drainage

How compact and travel-friendly is the footprint for transport?

The footprint weighs about 17 ounces and packs down small, making it easy to stash in your vehicle, gear closet, or a larger pack. Its thin polyester sheet rolls or folds flat without adding much bulk, so it’s a practical carry for weekend car campers or as a lightweight backup for backpacking where extra protection is needed.

• 17 oz weight for low added mass
• Folds or rolls compactly for simple packing and storage
• Durable material resists tears so it survives repeated use

How do I care for and clean the footprint after a trip?

Cleaning is straightforward—shake off debris, hose or wipe dirt away, and let it dry fully before storing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use to extend fabric life, and store folded in a dry place to prevent mildew.

• Shake or brush off loose dirt and sand
• Rinse with water and mild soap if needed, then air dry
• Store dry and out of direct sunlight to maintain fabric strength

Who is this for: Campers who own the ALPS Mountaineering 4-person tent and want a low-cost, durable way to protect the tent floor from abrasion and moisture. It’s ideal for families and groups car camping, overnight festival-goers, and anyone who wants faster cleanup and longer tent life without adding heavy or bulky gear.
