Company History   

Kangaroo Tent City was established in Sydney as a manufacturer of canvas products in 1949. The original business was at Camperdown - a three storey building still in existence today. Kangaroo Tent City was the first frame tent manufacturer in Australia. Producing items such as marquees, tarps, flys and any other canvas manufacturing or alteration work required.

All types of canvas goods were made under the direct supervision of well-known canvas specialist at the time, Mr R Tierney. The business became well established and began importing a large range of camping related items such as European made canvas tents, Coleman coolers and lanterns, and camping furniture.

In the late 1970's the business moved premises to the corner of Mallet St and Parramatta Rd Camperdown. By this time Kangaroo Tent City had established itself as Sydney's premiere camping retailer and was the largest retailer of camping products in NSW. Tents and equipment were supplied to clients from all around Australia, as well as supplying government departments and the Australian Defence Forces.

In the early 1980's a second store was established in Mayfield near Newcastle. The Newcastle store was sold in the late 1980's.

Many clients who have been shopping at Kangaroo Tent City for 20 years or more are still visiting the stores today. Comments such as, 'I purchased my first tent from here 25 years ago and I still have it today', are often heard.

Today Kangaroo Tent City is a family owned business. Their first store at Camperdown, was followed by the Penrith store which opened in 1991 to cater for Sydney's greater west.  In 1995, a third store was opened, this time in Tuggerah on the Central Coast. A fourth store was opened at Chatswood on Sydney's North Shore in November 2001. Sadly, on December 21st, 2003 our Camperdown store closed its doors.  Our Flagship Store is  operating from a new location at the cnr of Church & Seville Streets, North Parramatta. Our stores are conveniently located at North Parramatta, Penrith, Chatswood and Tuggerah.  In March 2007, Kangaroo Tent City opened store number 5 - on the corner of Chelmsford Ave and New England Hwy in Maitland to service our Hunter Valley and Newcastle customers.

You will see an enormous range of products not only in tents and camping equipment but also BBQ's, outdoor furniture and clothing.
