pup tent
Small camping shelter
A pup tent is a small, simple shelter—typically a triangular canvas or nylon structure supported by poles at each end and staked to the ground.
The name suggests a tent fit for a puppy rather than a person.
Pup tents are associated with military camping and Boy Scouts: We pitched our pup tents in a clearing.
