Adventure, Redefined
Our mission is to facilitate outdoor exploration and to ignite the spirit of adventure in individuals that dare to venture off the beaten path.
At FSR, our goal has always been to reinvent the rooftop tent from the ground up, creating industry-leading designs focused on quality and innovation.
Founded in Bend, Oregon in 2014, Freespirit Recreation, referred to as FSR, is known for using high quality materials like the FSR proprietary tri-layer, all season fabric, while also creating designs that are easy to use, and that allow for fast and easy set-ups.
Since 2019, FSR has been a family owned and operated company, that is something that we are proud of. As native Nebraskans, Colorado has become a home away from home with FSR HQ located in Golden, Colorado. Brothers, Tanner Tewes and Ben Tewes lead the FSR team as Co-Presidents. Tanner leads the marketing team and Ben heads up product development while also creating FSR HQ as a fun and inviting place to see industry leading rooftop tents and gear in Colorado. Their sister, Kristine Sewell works hard for FSR Corporate, bringing her brothers ideas and projects to life along with managing the FSR wholesale accounts. And their Mom, Renee Tewes, handles operations and financials, ensuring that FSR continues to grow for years to come.
Our goal will always be to provide the best products with exceptional customer service as you explore this great planet with us!
We are proud of our team located at FSR HQ in Golden, Colorado! The team is comprised of avid outdoors people always looking for the next adventure whether overlanding, cycling, hunting and fishing, camping with family, skiing, hiking, or riding their horses out west. We are always imagining, innovating, and creating the very best products for you!

Welcoming Committee

If you have ever stopped into FSR HQ, you probably got to meet the black lab sweetheart, Mia. She was a kind, old girl, who was very patient with all of the young pups on the Party Planning Committee and was loved by all. She is missed by our team.
