Best 1-Room Family Tent (Mid Range)


Posted BY Ian under best-tents

If you read my article on Qualities of a Best Family Tent you'll know that I rate the Size of a best family tent according to many factors, not just the standard number of adults that will fit across the floor space. Following up on one of these, I have divided up my best family tent recommendations by the number of sleeping areas or rooms that each tent has. Within each article I will further break those recommendations down - by price.

There are a huge number of tents in this 1-Room category. I have ended up with more choices than in other categories but that reflects the imaginative designs available. I have therefore split the article by price bracket. Take a look and see what suits you.

Those who have younger children may prefer to sleep all-together in a 1-room family tent (even if this is divided up by curtains or the like) to keep an eye on them. You may also consider this type of tent if you are a couple on a long trip wanting lots of space; a home-away-from-home, without resorting to a caravan. Several tents in the range have the option not to pitch one of the inners giving you even more space for living, or storage.

The Wynnster Phoenix 6 is a nice balanced tent with a clever dome design giving a separate sleeping area behind a decent sized living area.

Best tentPersonally I prefer the arrangement of the Vango Amazon. This offers a tunnel style tent with a large porch entrance that would be suitable for cooking or other chores during wet weather.

For something different, take a look at the Sunncamp Evolution 600 DL. This dome tent uses clear panels to ensure plenty of light gets into the communal area. The DL model has a slightly larger living space than the original design.

The Gelert Lokon Vario 6 doesn't look pretty but is certainly functional. There are plenty of options to ensure comfort whether you need maximum water-proofing or plenty of ventilation.

For smaller families, check out the Lokon Vario 5 and Lokon Vario 4
