bell-tent
Circular camping shelter
A bell-tent is a cone-shaped canvas tent supported by a central pole, with walls that slope outward like a bell.
The design allows rainwater to run off easily and provides more interior space than a simple ridge tent.
Bell-tents have been used by military camps and are now popular for glamping: We stayed in a bell-tent at the festival.
