Protection from rain or heat

Most of the large camping tents in our selection are waterproof - cotton-blend tents intended for hot-weather use are clearly marked if a specific model does not provide rain protection. Cotton blends are the go-to choice for hot days and tropical nights, and camping tents made from them are also very stylish. Cotton-blend family tents also lack coatings or seam tapes that might deteriorate over the years.

Standing height and large vestibules

Many family tents offer standing height, at least in the vestibule. This makes tasks like changing clothes much more comfortable. The vestibule of large camping tents can also easily accommodate, for example, a couple of chairs and a table. With features like hanging points for LED lanterns—found in Outwell tents, among others - it’s easy to create a comfortable living area inside a family tent.

Traditional poles or air beams?

Outwell’s range includes camp tents where the main poles have been replaced by robust air beams. When inflated with the included pump, these beams take on the role of poles - eliminating the need to thread long poles through sleeves. Our selection includes repair kits for both air beams and traditional fiberglass and aluminum poles.

A quality tent that serves you year after year

Tent manufacturer Outwell produces tents ranging from fairly compact models to massive tents for large families and groups, all with a strong price-to-quality ratio. Jack Wolfskin and Nordisk are also excellent, high-quality choices: their tents stand firm and can withstand strong winds when needed.
