Free printable tents and trees
Tents and Trees is a matching puzzle on a campground grid: every tree needs exactly one tent beside it, tents never share a side or a corner, and the numbers along the edges say how many tents sit in that row or column. This sheet is an 8x8 board with little pine-tree drawings already placed, so you are locating tents rather than drawing trees. Solvers who like pairing constraints and picture-logic usually find it more approachable than a blank number grid.

Peek at the solution
This free download includes a high-resolution 6x9 inch PNG of the puzzle and a matching solution that shows every tent. No signup is required. Print the tree grid, then use the answer key only when you want to check a row count.
How to play
- Count the pine trees — each one needs exactly one tent in an up, down, left, or right neighbor cell, never diagonally.
- Use the numbers on the left and top: they say how many tents belong in that row or column. A 0 means that line stays empty of tents.
- Place tents so they never touch each other, even at a corner.
- When a tree has only one legal adjacent cell left, put the tent there.
- Check every row and column count against the tents you drew.
Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the tree icons and row-column numbers stay sharp enough to mark tents.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Tents and Trees solution?
A second image on this page is the answer key. It shows the same 8x8 grid with a tent icon next to each tree and the original row and column numbers still in place. Download it with the puzzle and compare only after you have placed your tents.
Is this Tents and Trees puzzle free to print?
Yes. The puzzle and solution download as PNG files with no signup and no email gate. Print them for home, travel, or a classroom activity. This is a single 6x9 inch sheet, not a PDF booklet.
Who is this 8x8 Tents and Trees sheet for?
It works well for puzzle fans who like matching and counting more than filling digits. The printed trees make the givens easy to see, so older kids can join adults at the same table. A zero on a row or column is a friendly starting clue: that line cannot hold a tent.
How should I print the Tents and Trees page?
Print the PNG at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the 6x9 inch layout keeps the tree icons and the edge numbers sharp. Turn off fit-to-page. Black ink is enough; leave a little margin if you like to rest your hand while you mark tents.
