the best camping needs go to hilton's. Tony a staple in the store is the best. Dave we can do without. I don't know what everyone is smoking but this place rocks.

Ordered 2 Carhart vest on November 17, 2023 thinking I was ordering and getting product from Cambridge, MA store. Still waiting on my order that shipped from China and arrived in USA on January 13, unloaded from ship on January 14, Customs on January 18, Customs completed January 27th. Sent back to Customs January 31st. On Feb. 1st says Awaiting presentation to Customs commissioner. Your order is in queue for final customs clearance.

I walked in this evening looking for a girl scout knife for a nine-year-old girl. I was sincere polite and just looking for help because I am clueless about camping gear. These people could not have been more condescending and unhelpful. Monosyllabic responses generally out to lunch responses. Inappropriate jokes as in "I would get a machete". I did the transaction because I was kind of trapped in the rain and did not want to go to REI where I know they will be nice. Avoid this place. Everyone loves to celebrate independent stores over chains like REI but you know what REI people are unfailingly polite. I'm always going there next time. As Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac said, I'm never going back again.

Great experience here! They have a wide and well organized selection, and had the exact little piece I was looking for. A big shout out to Andy for his help!

Fully stocked camping/Hiking retailers. Tents selection is excellent with top brands and sleeping numbers. Has great ancillary items, gear and boots. Carries spare poles, tent pegs, ropes etc. Sales reps generally are experienced.

Was there today to check their backpacks. One of them wasn't friendly at all which ultimately made me decide not to purchase the backpack I was hesitant to buy ($229 Topo Designs Travel bag 40l) On the good part, it made me look up the Facebook marketplace again and got something for $100. I mean thanks no thanks. Imagine losing $229 sale just because you couldn't have a friendly conversation haha.

Hilton's Tent City has great customer support and quick shipping service. I had a wrong item shipped to me and emailed them and with no hassle they shipped me the correct item in no time! I would buy again from them.

Oh how I miss Hilton Tent City when they were in Boston and provided good value for the money. Regardless of inflation the prices they charge for men’s winter costs are ridiculous! I’ll stick with LL Bean.

Great locally owned outdoors shop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a pretty good selection considering the size of the store and the location in downtown Cambridge.They have just about everything you could need for an outdoor adventure: tents, backpacks, clothing, footwear, cookware, knives, and other outdoor gear you'd need at the campsite or on the trail. They have a great staff, and they'll certainly help make your next outdoor adventure a success!

They had a hard to find item I was looking for. I called to make sure they had it, and then bought it on their website. They shipped it out promptly and it arrived early in perfect condition.

Stopped by for the first time to grab a random collection of items for a backpacking trip, was not disappointed!!! Great recommendations, great brands, and super convenient being in Central. Will definitely be coming back for all outdoor gear!

Tent City is truly the best hidden jewel when it comes down to traveling/hiking, camping gear. It was a lot bigger back in Boston, but I’m so happy they decided to open their doors in Cambridge! I’ve bought countless jackets, tents, camping gear, backpacks, gloves and accessories for myself and my family. I’ve always found what I needed when gearing up for treks in the white mountains or vacationing in other countries. It’s truly your old mom and pop store with lots of knowledgeable sales associates. I love Tent City for its brands, products, value, selection and prefer it over REI, EMS, Bob Store..ect.
