Kelty Outfitter Basecamp Footprint

This footprint is specifically engineered to match the dimensions and stake-out points of the Kelty Outfitter Basecamp 4. While it might physically fit under other tents, the grommets and shape will not align correctly, making it a poor fit for non-Kelty models.

The footprint is intentionally cut smaller than the tent floor to prevent water from pooling between the two layers during rain. If the footprint were larger, it would act as a funnel, catching runoff and directing it under your tent rather than away from it.

Yes, it is constructed from durable 210D nylon, which provides a significant barrier against abrasion, sharp rocks, and sticks. It acts as a sacrificial layer, taking the wear and tear that would otherwise damage your tent's floor.

A 3000mm waterproof rating is quite robust for a tent accessory, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure without leaking. This provides a reliable moisture barrier, keeping ground dampness from seeping through your tent floor.

While tent floors are waterproof, they are still susceptible to punctures and long-term wear from abrasive ground surfaces. A footprint is an inexpensive insurance policy that extends the lifespan of your tent by preventing holes and keeping the bottom of your shelter cleaner.
