Introduction

Powering your glamping site the right way makes all the difference between a luxury retreat and a restless night. Whether you’re lighting up a Galaxy Air-Beam Tent, powering a mini-fridge inside the Jellyfish Air-Beam Tent, or running multiple appliances in the Astral 20' Glamping Tent, choosing the correct size power station ensures comfort, safety, and reliability for every adventure.

Step 1: Estimate Your Power Needs

Before you pick a power station, list everything you’ll use—lights, chargers, fans, fridges, and heaters. Add each device’s wattage and multiply by the number of hours you’ll use it per day. Example: 100W fridge × 8 hours = 800Wh. Add all devices for a total daily watt-hour (Wh) requirement. This forms the foundation for choosing your ideal power capacity.

Step 2: Match Power Capacity to Your Setup

Power stations are rated by watt-hours (Wh), showing how much stored energy they provide.

• Small setups (≤ 1000 Wh): Perfect for LED lighting, phone chargers, and fans in smaller tents like the Galaxy. Try the Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station (1070Wh capacity) for quiet comfort.
• Medium setups (1000–2000 Wh): Ideal for mini-fridges, heated blankets, and ambient lighting inside the Jellyfish. Consider the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus (2042Wh capacity) for reliable performance.
• Large setups (2000 Wh+): Designed for multi-tent sites or full glamping operations using the Astral 20' where you might power multiple lighting zones, small appliances, or AC units. Explore models in the Portable Power Stations Collection for elevated capacity.

If your glamp site includes several tents, using two medium-capacity power stations instead of one oversized unit adds flexibility and redundancy.

Step 3: Solar Charging for True Off-Grid Living

Pairing your power station with solar panels ensures continuous energy, even in remote destinations. Many of the models in our Portable Power Stations collection support solar input—ideal for eco-luxury glamping setups and silent nights under the stars.

Step 4: Match Tent Size to Power Demand

Tent size directly influences your total power draw:

• Galaxy (~13 ft): Minimal load – lights, fans, chargers.
• Jellyfish (~16 ft): Medium load – lights, AC duct fans, and small fridge.
• Astral 20' (~20 ft): Heavy load – multiple fans, lighting zones, and extended runtime accessories.

Plan for roughly 1000 Wh of power per tent for overnight comfort, adding 500–1000 Wh for each major appliance.

Step 5: Future-Proof Your Energy Setup

If you’re planning to expand or offer longer stays, invest in higher-capacity power stations with multiple AC and USB ports. The premium models in our collection support modular add-ons, fast solar recharging, and long battery life—ideal for commercial glamp sites or event hosting operations.

Conclusion

Choosing the right size power station transforms your glamping setup from basic to breathtaking. Whether you’re outfitting a Galaxy, Jellyfish, or 20' Astral Tent, pairing them with reliable Portable Power Stations ensures clean, quiet, and dependable energy wherever you set up camp.
