However, if you’re planning on a week's holiday or longer, you may want to go even larger. Or perhaps you’re planning on a family hiking holiday and want to carry your tent everywhere, in which case a lighter, smaller tent, purely for sleeping may be the right choice. It follows a fairly straightforward, peg, pole and clip system to put it up, but details such as reinforced peg points and lightweight alloy poles should mean it will last through many years of summer camping weekends. If you’re looking to go on a family camping adventure, you’ll first need the right tent. We’ve put together 15 family tents that our camping experts recommend for 2024. We’ve also included everything you should look for in a family tent before purchasing one.

Before purchasing the tent, consider the number of people that’ll be staying inside and whether they’d be able to move around comfortably. Although it might take longer to pitch a tentthat’s much bigger than the average, the more helping hands you have, the faster the process. • Does it have the right features for your needs?There are lots of tent configurations, available so look at what might work best for you and how it’ll grow with your family too.

While it’s important you like the look of your tent, there’s no point in going for something that looks stylish, when ultimately, it might not keep you warm and dry. While we do live in a beautiful country, the weather is unpredictable at best. Therefore, it’s worth looking at the waterproof rating of any tent, also known as the Hydrostatic Head rating. The rating measures the quantity of rain the tent can withstand in millimetres. It’s key to remember that the higher the score, the more durable the tent. • Is it spacious enough for your family? It’s all very basic, and that is reflected in the price, but to be honest it does have all the features you’ll need Like a decent sleeping bag, the right tent is imperative to your camping comfort and can absolutely make or break your family holiday. There’s nothing worse than trying to put up a tent in bone-drenching conditions while your kids sit grumpily in the car (been there!) or waking up with several small elbows, feet and a collapsed canopy in your face (been there, too). For the perfect family camping trip, you need a tent that’s easy enough to put up, big enough to sleep everyone, plus store all their belongings comfortably and a quality structure that won’t fail you even in the worst weather conditions. With this in mind, we’ve found the best family tents for the ultimate adventure in nature. Best family tents at a glance: Despite its vast size, the Zempire Aerodrome is surprisingly simple to erect.
