Best 1-Room Family Tent (Quick Pitch)
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.
Quick Pitch
Undoubtedly the favourite here is the Twister 5 from Gelert. Let it spring into action and you have ready-made shelter for you and 2, 3 (possibly even 4 small) kids.The fine touches haven't been forgotten. The Twister 5 offers good ventilation and sufficient guy lines to keep your tent stable. The fabric is rated to 3000mm, which is sufficient even for a UK summer.
If there's a downside, it's that this tent is pitched inner first. Not ideal if it is actually raining at the time, but then this tent goes up so fast it won't matter too much.
