Best Motorcycle Tents: Portable Shelters for Your Bike

This motorcycle shelter is an easy-to-use, collapsible tent with a carrying bag that’s perfect for road trips, whether you ride a bobber or a moped. It is designed with a 600D oxford fabric PU coating that is 100 percent waterproof. The tent comes with a one-year warranty and is easy to assemble; no extra tools are required.

The tent is available in three different sizes and features ventilation windows. It is weatherproof and UV-resistant and is easy to roll up and down. It also has a carrying bag and a TSA code lock to protect your bike. The XL tent fits a motorcycle and two adult-sized bicycles.

One of the issues with this tent is that in heavy rain areas, the mesh windows can be an issue. Also, some users have had problems with its setup, and the tent does not have a floor.

This three-season tent has an 18- by 8-foot footprint and can accommodate both you and your bike. There's a separate space just for a motorcycle, and it features four entryways. The multiple doors provide privacy and keep the bugs out with the aid of a mesh panel.

The tent features a waterproof rainfly that protects against heavy rain and strong winds. The floor is also waterproof, so you stay dry when sleeping. It's lightweight, easy to set up, and packs up nicely for storage. It easily fits larger motorcycles as well as two to three people inside.

One issue is that the tent is a little heavy, so it's not ideal for backpacking. It can also be a little challenging to roll it up after use. There have also been some complaints that the stitching can come apart over a short period of time.

This premium, self-enclosing motorcycle tent is a great choice for home use due to its strong tie-downs and heavy-duty construction. It comes with 16 square pipes, a cross plate, and a locking system, all of which are made of galvanized steel. The tent is 100 percent waterproof and comes with a one-year warranty.

The Bike Shield is available in three sizes and uses a polyethylene coating to repel water and UV rays. It features ventilation windows to prevent moisture buildup. It stays nice and dry, even in the heat, humidity, and rain. Overall, the construction is very good, so it should last for several seasons.

One drawback is that this motorcycle tent is an expensive option and also requires that you secure it to the ground. Strong winds may lift it off the ground, and it can also be a little challenging to assemble.

The Abba Patio Outdoor Storage Shelter is simple to set up and offers a safe place to store your motorcycle. The 6- x 8-foot shelter is built on strong 1.5-inch steel legs with an equally reliable and stable frame. Its design helps it withstand winds and reduces the amount it shakes and wobbles if outside in gusty wind. The frame is even powder-coated for extra protection against rust.

As for the canopy, it is constructed out of a triple layer of UV-treated material, thus keeping it from bleaching in the sun. The polyethylene fabric is also water-resistant, so your bike won’t get soaked while tucked away inside the tent. The tent also includes a door for easy access to and from the bike.

However, the tent isn’t the biggest and may not fit multiple bikes all that easily. There is no ground cover so the ground may be muddy if you leave it up in the rain. This motorcycle tent is also higher-priced for a smaller shelter. Plus, setting it up yourself can take a while as it can be awkward and heavy. 

The Happybuy Portable Storage Shed does exactly what the name suggests. It is a highly portable shelter for your motorcycle, ATV, lawn mower, or any other small vehicle. The tent measures 6 x 6 x 7.8 feet, making it a large enough space to store two motorcycles with a bit of extra space to move around or hang out.

The tent frame is made out of a durable steel that has been powder-coated to protect it from rusting. The fabric is a tough polyethylene material, all of which is treated with a water-resistant coating to prevent large leaks. This tent also includes a door so you can keep everything locked away and it has two windows so you easily keep an eye on what’s inside.

The tent may not be overly expensive, but it is set at a higher price. Also, while it may be portable, it is quite hefty. The entire kit weighs around 57 pounds and it doesn’t appear to come with any sort of bag or pack to store everything in when you are finished using it.

The Abba Patio Extra Large Heavy Duty Motorcycle Tent is large and sturdy. As the bigger sibling to one of our other choices, this tent is bulky. It measures 10 x 20 feet and is a roomy outdoor tent that offers plenty of room for a few bikes. It’s a premium model motorcycle tent and features robust powder coated steel framing and rugged polyethylene fabric.

One of its best aspects is the extra thick fabric that forms the sides and the ceiling of the tent. Another great feature is the walls can be completely removed so you can form a sort of gazebo or improve airflow. It’s water-resistant and comes with bungee cords to help secure the tent in place.

As it is a large heavy-duty tent, you will be spending a lot on it. It is also going to be rather heavy due to the bulky frame and cover. It isn’t a tent you would want to take with you on a trip unless you have somewhere to store it. The tent may also be difficult to put together by just one person. You may need multiple people to ensure it stays in place.

The ShelterLogic Shed-in-a-Box Motorcycle Tent measures 10 x 10 x 8 feet. It has waterproofed gray fabric and a thick metal powder-coated frame that holds it all together. One of the tent’s best features is its ratcheted tensioning system that ensures the cover fits snugly and tightly around the entire frame.

It’s large enough to store up to two motorcycles side-by-side. However, it could fit a few more smaller pocket bikes if needed. There is plenty of space to move around as well. Plus, it is designed to be used all year and brushes off snow, rain, and is even UV-protected to withstand the sun’s harshest rays. 

Putting the tent together may be one of the most annoying things about it. While it isn’t all that large when compared to other models, it can be awkward to set up by yourself. The instructions can be difficult to follow. Also, the tent is rather expensive. 

We couldn’t do an entire list about the best motorcycle tent without adding the Harley-Davidson Dome Tent. As one of the most popular names in the motorcycling world, this tent is designed to be used with more than just Harley-Davidsons. There is a large enough pocket for you to store the bike in and it’s completely portable.

By far the best feature of this motorcycle tent is it doubles as both a place to store the bike and for you to sleep. After you tuck in the motorcycle for the night, you have a place to sleep as well. The material is breathable and ventilated to allow cool air to flow freely. The frame is made out of aluminum for ultimate flexibility and strength, too. It’s even large enough to fit two bikes.

This four-person tent is set at a higher price. You will be paying for the Harley-Davidson name and the amount of storage space. There is no ground cover for the bikes and it can be difficult to set up the first few times. The tent fabric may leak as well.
