The present disclosure relates to a telescopic tent pole extendable between an extended and collapsed state, in particular for a vehicle roof top tent. The tent pole includes a first pole element and a second pole element connected to each other and moveable relative to each other in an axial direction to extend or collapse the tent pole. The tent pole further includes a fixation device configured to be adjustable between a blocking state and a release state, with the fixation device biased towards its blocking state. The fixation device, in its blocking state, is configured to prevent collapsing of the tent pole in the extended state or at least one intermediate state of the tent pole. Alternatively, the fixation device, in its blocking state, is configured to permit further extending of the tent pole towards its extended state in the intermediate state of the tent pole.
