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).

When choosing a family tent, there are a few different things to consider. Firstly, how much space you’ll need so that all your clan can all be comfortable.

Living area dimensions: 260 x 320cm (please note living space isn't a perfect rectangledue to the tapered shape of tent) Most tents have thin, collapsible poles made from fibreglass. They often fold up into a compact size and are connected by an elastic cord. They're usually flexible and will need to be bent to fit the shape of the tent canvas during pitching. An optional awning or canopy can provide protection from the sun and rain, creating a shaded area from which to enjoy the outdoors without having to stay inside your tent. 10) Extra features 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.
