However, if you’re planning on a week's holiday or longer, you may want to go even larger. Or perhaps you’re planning on a family hiking holiday and want to carry your tent everywhere, in which case a lighter, smaller tent, purely for sleeping may be the right choice. Many serious camping families have a few different tent options, depending on the type of holiday they are planning. What to look for when choosing a family tent As well as the obvious sun screen, wet wipes and water bottle, what exactly should you take? To make your weekend prep super easy, we've come up with a list of the outdoor gear we just can't live without. You'll want to ensure your tent footprint is the same size as the tent you're pitching – several manufacturers sell footprints specifically to fit certain tent models. We consider how easy it is to get into and out of the main entrances and sleeping compartments, how bright and roomy the living spaces are, and if we consider there to be enough room for the number of people intended to sleep in the tent.

Hi-Gear

Not all tents have indoor communal spaces that can house all the campers if the weather turns, and even those that do aren't always large enough for everyone to be comfortable. Tents are categorised by how many people they sleep. However, a family of four shouldn’t necessarily opt for a tent that sleeps four, as you’ll need to consider room for storage and living space too. A good rule of thumb is to choose a tent with one extra sleeping berth, so you always have a bit of wiggle room. Tent footprints are available to buy separately from tents at outdoor retailers. They're essentially an extra groundsheet that you can pitch before your tent, with the aim of pitching your tent on top of it.

The layout of the tent is two darkened sleeping pods set around one middle, full-height living space, with the option to split one of the bedrooms further, so you end up with one large bedroom and two small ones. 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. If you have younger children, you may be bringing a travel cot and prefer to share a sleeping space so you can keep an eye on them, whereas older kids may want their own bedroom. It follows a fairly straightforward, peg, pole and clip system to put it up, but details such as reinforced peg points and lightweight alloy poles should mean it will last through many years of summer camping weekends.

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. 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). Adhara is Berghaus’ first family of pole tents, maintaining the brand’s commitment to sturdy and reliable construction. Made from high-quality materials and utilising innovative design to create tents that are both strong and durable.
