What are the Best Family Tents?

Family size tents are their own kind of breed. Whether you have a large family to cater for, or it’s just a few of you, comfort usually comes first.

Here are a few camping tent features that you might want to look out for your family camping holiday:

Black out walls - stop early sunrises interfering with lie-ins
Porch areas - give yourself plenty of living space outside
Zippable inner rooms - give yourself a little privacy
Reflective guylines - minimise the chance of trips when running around outside
Organiser pockets - stash away bits and pieces to keep safe and tidy

What Are Family Size Tents?

Getting the right size tent is important for a family camping trip. You need to make sure you have plenty of space not only for sleeping, but for storing everyone’s essentials. You might want to consider everyone’s age, too, and how long you will have the tent for - the kids might be happy to cosy up now, but they might want a bit more space for themselves in future. When buying a family tent, it’s a good idea to buy a size bigger than you need.

For a family size tent, our 5 to 6 person tents are ideal. If it’s just the 4 of you, older kids will be grateful for not feeling on top of one another - if you find one with three zippable sleeping areas, they can even get their own ‘bedroom’ to retreat to. If you want to go larger, 7 person tents and above are like mini mobile homes, offering large living areas for large family groups.

What Else Do You Need For a Family Camping Trip?

Once you have picked out your family size tent, there are a few other bits of camping gear that you might need for your family camping trip. Here are some essentials to consider:

Tent porch awnings and extensions - extending your living space that little bit more makes the most of family size tents
Tent carpets and rugs - keeps your tent warmer and more homely
Sleeping mats - gives fussy sleepers the best chance of a good night’s sleep
