About ALPS Mountaineering

ALPS Mountaineering was founded in 1993 by Dennis Brune in the small town of New Haven, Missouri with a simple idea: build outdoor gear that performs on the trail and in camp without pricing the average camper out of the sport. More than 30 years later the company is still family-owned and still headquartered in the same Missouri town, quietly earning a reputation among backpackers, hunters, and family campers for tents, packs, sleeping systems, and camp furniture that punch far above their price.

Lotz Outdoors is proud to carry the full active ALPS Mountaineering lineup, from the popular Camp Creek family tents and Lynx backpacking series to sleeping bags, self-inflating pads, cots, lanterns, chairs, and tables. Most items ship direct from the ALPS warehouse in Missouri and are backed by the ALPS limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. Shop the collection below to build a system you can trust for your next camping trip, hunt, or backcountry weekend.

ALPS Mountaineering FAQs

Who is ALPS Mountaineering?

ALPS Mountaineering is a family-owned American outdoor brand founded in 1993 by Dennis Brune in New Haven, Missouri. The company builds tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cots, camp furniture, and lighting for backpackers, hunters, and family campers who want dependable gear without paying flagship prices. After more than 30 years, ALPS remains headquartered in the same small Missouri town where it started.

What warranty does ALPS Mountaineering offer?

ALPS Mountaineering backs most products with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. A few product families carry shorter coverage: trekking poles, the PVC air bed, and the Gaze fire pit are covered for 1 year, and the Crestone Peak tent is covered for 3 years. The warranty covers the original consumer purchaser only and requires proof of purchase from an authorized dealer like Lotz Outdoors.

What kinds of gear does ALPS Mountaineering make?

ALPS designs a full camping and backcountry system: backpacking, family, and specialty tents, internal and external frame packs, mummy and rectangular sleeping bags, self-inflating and air sleeping pads, cots, chairs, tables, camp beds, lanterns, headlamps, rainwear, and trekking poles. At Lotz Outdoors you can shop the full active ALPS Mountaineering lineup in one place and filter by category, capacity, or season rating.

Which ALPS Mountaineering tent is right for me?

For beginners and weekend campers, the Lynx and Meramac series offer easy setup, a large vestibule, and a strong price for the value. Backpackers usually pick the Zephyr or Extreme series for a lighter carry weight and freestanding aluminum poles. Families and basecampers should look at the Camp Creek series, including the popular Camp Creek 4 Person and Two Room tents, which give standing headroom and generous floor space. Four-season and expedition users should look at the Tasmanian and Crestone Peak, built with heavier fabrics and a stronger pole set for wind and snow.

Where is ALPS Mountaineering gear made and shipped from?

ALPS Mountaineering is headquartered and warehoused in New Haven, Missouri, where the family-owned company designs its products and manages customer support. Gear is manufactured overseas to ALPS specifications and then quality-checked and shipped from Missouri. Orders placed with Lotz Outdoors ship direct from the ALPS warehouse, and most in-stock items go out within one to two business days. Free shipping applies on qualifying orders over $99.
