We have seen a huge growth in the number of families taking up camping in the last few years, as it is a much more covid safe adventure for the family and more economical than going on risky holidays abroad that may well be cancelled, even at the last minute. However, many of our customers find the decision of which tent will most suit their family’s needs rather overwhelming. There are literally hundreds of tents to choose from, all boasting different special features, that can literally leave your mind in turmoil after half an hour viewing! Probably the first thing you will need to decide upon, is the size of tent you wish to holiday in. You can see all the tents dimensions on the Leisureshopdirect listings, but to give you a rough idea, all tents are given a berth label, meaning the absolute maximum number of happy campers that can sleep comfortably. For example, a 4-man tent will allow up to 4 people to sleep, but definitely no more! As a rule, we always advice our customers to choose a tent with a berth at least one man, but preferably 2 man above the number in their camping entourage, especially if you are planning on camping for more than just a night or two at a time. It is always worth checking the sizes of your preferred camping beds, as all too often you will find that two of your chosen comfy beds, be it blow up mattresses, camping mats or actual camping beds, won’t in fact fit side by side in a designated 2 man bedroom. We are going to take a look at all the Outwell 6-man tents here, which would be suitable for a family of six, if some of the children are still small, but ideally suits a camping group of 5 or even 4, if you think you will be more comfortable and relaxed with more space. If you would like to look into why you might want to purchase one of the outstanding Outwell tents and all the special features they offer in more detail, before looking at particular Outwell tents, then read the section on
Outwell Tents for Campers and Families (there is a huge amount of information on all the special features here, but make sure you read below the tent listings to find all the details).
