A privacy enclosure turns a basic camp into a comfortable one. It gives you somewhere to change, shower or use a portable toilet, and in the case of an annex room, extra covered space beside your rooftop tent. Rocky Mountain Tents offers two options we carry: the Shower Tent and the Grizzly Den Annex Room. Here are the questions we get asked most, answered with the specs from our listings. Browse more in our enclosures and accessories collection.
What is a shower and privacy tent used for?
It is a quick pop-up shelter you can use as a shower room, a changing room or a portable toilet enclosure. It is designed for camping, overlanding and off-grid travel, so you can have a private space wherever you park.
How big is the Rocky Mountain Shower Tent?
The Shower Tent is approximately 3.5 ft long x 3.5 ft wide x 7.5 ft tall and weighs 20 lb. The interior is listed as fitting adults comfortably with full standing height. It costs $299.
What is it made from?
The Shower Tent uses 420D Oxford waterproof fabric on a durable aluminum frame, with an integrated ventilation design and a reinforced structure. It comes with the tent shell, metal support poles, securing hardware and tie-downs, and a protective storage cover.
Does it mount to a roof rack?
It is listed as mounting easily to most roof rack setups, which means you can carry it on the vehicle between camps. Check your rack and message us if you are unsure. See our roof rack selection.
What is an annex room?
An annex room is a ground-level enclosed space that attaches to your rooftop tent. It gives you a place to change, organize gear, store equipment or sleep extra campers, and keeps bugs and weather out.
What does the Grizzly Den Annex Room include?
The Grizzly Den Annex Room ($749.99) is designed specifically for the Grizzly Den rooftop tent. It attaches to the tent's extended canopy and surrounds the ladder, creating nearly 140 sq ft of enclosed space below. Key features:
- 420D waterproof Oxford fabric with full-height walls
- Three large entrances with integrated mosquito screens
- Two screened windows for airflow
- A dedicated vehicle-access opening toward the rear passenger door
- Weighs about 22 lb and packs into an included carry bag
Will the annex room fit my tent?
The Grizzly Den Annex is designed specifically for the Grizzly Den rooftop tent, so do not assume it fits other tents. Message us with your tent model before ordering.
Shower tent or annex room: which should I buy?
- Shower tent ($299): small, light, and a good choice if you want a private spot to shower, change or use a toilet.
- Grizzly Den annex ($749.99): a big enclosed room for gear, changing and extra sleepers, but only for Grizzly Den owners.
Some campers use both. Need to shade a larger area? See our Rocky Mountain awnings guide.
Is the Shower Tent covered by a warranty?
The Shower Tent listing covers structural, fabric and other components for one year each. Read the full warranty terms on the product page before buying.
