The Kelty Sideroads Awning is the easiest way to claim your spot at any campsite, trailhead, or tailgate. It clips onto the side or rear of just about any vehicle — hatchback to Sprinter van — and deploys in minutes. The rounded canopy sheds wind, rain, and sun better than a flat tarp, and the Quick-Corners make setup genuinely painless. Whether you're cracking a cold one post-hike or waiting out a passing storm, this is where the party is.
Why we love it
It fits on almost any vehicle, sets up fast, and goes back in its bag just as quickly. The lightweight fiberglass poles keep it sturdy without adding a ton of weight, and the universal attachment system means you don't need a special rack or accessories to use it.
