There are a million things to get done inStardew Valley, from fishing and farming tocollecting Golden Walnutsin an active volcano. That’s not to mention diving down the infinitely deep caverns full of valuable loot. To call yourself ‘busy’ would be an understatement.
There will be times when you just don’t have enough time to stop what you’re doing and go home. Fortunately, the 1.6 content update has introduced a solution: the Tent Kit. Here’s where to find them, how to make them, and what limitations they’re under.

Fibercan be found day one, andHardwoodcan becollected fairly easilyif you have a Steel Axe (which you likely will by the time you reach level eight in Foraging).
Clothwill bethe hardest to get a hold of. It can be reliably farmed fromsheep, but if you don’t have the deluxe barn, your best bet would be to defeat Mummies in the Skull Caverns.
Where To Get Free Tent Kits
If you can’t craft them just yet and you still want to try them, a set of three Tent Kits can befound in a box in the eastern jungle of Ginger Island. They might be hard to spot in the darkness. The box is up and to the palm tree’s right in the area’s lower right corner.
These can be discovered as soon as you land on Ginger Island, making them a helpful option forstaying on the island until you unlock the Island house.
How To Use A Tent Kit
While holding the Tent Kit item, you’re able to place it down anywhere outside. Thisrequires a three-wide by two-tall space. Once placed, interact with the small yellow tent to go to bed for the night.
Once asleep, the game will go through the usual nighttime routine,saving the gameand waking you up the following morning with full energy.The tent will be destroyed when you wake up, preventing repeated usage.
You canonly use the Tent Kit while outside. This means it cannot be used to stay on a certain floor of the Skull Caverns between days.
you may, however,pitch a tent in the desert itself, allowing you to start on a Skull Cavern run as soon as you wake up.
