Remember that bigger tents are fiddlier to pitch, and multi-room tunnel tents and canvas bell tents can require two people to put up. It rained while on our visit and there were no leaks or water running in, even though where we stayed was very windy. Whether you’ve got a small or large family, Decathlon’s range of family tents has something for everyone. They are fairly easy to put up and even stand up well against the elements, but inside space cannot compete with tunnel tents.

I'm all about adventure travel, hiking and exploring the outdoors - even if I often find myself exploring cities with my wife Nesrine.The tent withstood the battering from the winds, much to my delight, as I was pretty worried we'd be blown away. At Decathlon, you’ll find a selection of archery sets ideal for children and beginners or any budding archers in the family. But there are actually quite a few different 4 person tents, all with their own features, and which one will be best for you depends a lot on what you’ll use it for: there are canvas tents and 4 season tents for example. As mattresses are rectangular, even a single and compact airbed will fit more easily into a rectangular room than, say, a geodesic tent. So, considering that, along with luggage and camping equipment, a 4 person tent for 4 people can get quite cramped.

A four-man tent can work well as a family tent if you have small children and for weekends away, but if you’re after a spacious tent that will work for a fortnight’s holiday, we’d recommend picking something bigger, such as a six-man tent with more living space. Although 4 adults could sleep comfortably I really would like to try it for too long and I think 6 adults would really be pushing it too far.Similar to the Finlake, but with a sewn-in groundsheet and higher waterproof rating, making it great for all-year camping. Another great thing about this tent is the headroom: with 80 inches (2m03), you can fully stand up inside. Camping tents are usually labelled with the number of adults they can sleep, but you’ll still need to check out the size of a potential tent beyond that number – a one-bedroom tent might squeeze in four adults at a push, but a two-bedroom tent or a big bell tent will sleep four people in far more comfort. Pull up our comfortable camping stools or grab a cosy camping chair set and you'll have a great setup for relaxing under the stars.
