Junior Canvas Bedroll

$159.00

A kid-sized canvas bedroll and sleeping bag cover, handmade in Oregon for camping, summer camp, sleepovers, and nights under the stars.

Built for younger campers, the Beckel Junior Canvas Bedroll gives kids their own properly sized version of our classic canvas bedroll.

At 73" long and 34" wide when zipped, it has room for a sleeping bag, blankets, or camping pad without all the extra bulk of an adult-size bedroll.

A heavy-duty #10 YKK zipper makes it easy to get in and out, and the bedroll can unzip completely to lay flat for use as an extra canvas layer beneath bedding or gear.

At the head of the bedroll is a built-in pillow sleeve. Tuck in a regular pillow, or stuff the sleeve with clothing, a jacket, or other soft gear to create a simple camp pillow without bringing one separately.

The Junior is made from 10.1 oz Sunforger-treated cotton canvas, a durable and breathable fabric treated for water and mildew resistance. It helps protect bedding from dirt, damp ground, dew, sparks, and everyday camp wear while remaining lighter and more packable than many traditional cowboy bedrolls.

Each Junior Canvas Bedroll is cut and sewn in our Milwaukie, Oregon shop using the same materials and construction approach as our full-size Beckel bedrolls.

Use it as a kids canvas bedroll, canvas sleeping bag cover, or cowboy-style bedroll for family camping, summer camp, wall tents, backyard adventures, and wherever the next overnight takes them.

Why Canvas?

Canvas creates a tough, breathable outer layer around a sleeping bag or camp bedding. It helps protect against dirt, damp ground, sparks, and the general abuse that comes with camping.

Unlike a fully waterproof synthetic cover, breathable cotton canvas allows moisture vapor to escape while developing character with use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a canvas bedroll?

A canvas bedroll is a durable outer cover for a sleeping bag, blankets, pad, or other camp bedding. Traditional cowboy bedrolls used canvas to protect bedding while sleeping outdoors and to keep everything together when it was time to pack up.

Can the Junior Bedroll be used as a sleeping bag cover?

Yes. The Junior works especially well as a canvas sleeping bag cover, adding a durable outer layer around a sleeping bag, blankets, or other bedding.

Does it have a zipper?

Yes. We use a heavy-duty #10 YKK zipper. The bedroll can be zipped around bedding for sleeping or unzipped completely so the canvas lays flat.

What is the pillow sleeve for?

The built-in sleeve can hold a regular pillow, but you can also stuff it with clothing, a jacket, or other soft gear to create a simple camp pillow.

It also helps keep whatever you're using for a pillow from sliding around during the night.

What age is the Junior Bedroll designed for?

Kids grow at very different rates, so we recommend choosing by size rather than age.

The Junior measures 73 inches long and 34 inches wide when zipped.

Can I use a sleeping pad inside it?

Yes. The Junior can be used with a sleeping bag, blankets, and a camping pad. The amount of room available will depend on the thickness of the pad and bedding.

Is the canvas waterproof?

The Sunforger canvas is water resistant, not waterproof. It helps protect bedding from damp ground, dew, and light moisture, but the bedroll is not intended to replace a waterproof shelter or groundsheet in sustained rain.

Where is it made?

Every Junior Canvas Bedroll is cut and sewn at the Beckel Canvas shop in Milwaukie, Oregon.
