Large Camping Tents

Lay your mats on the floor plan; the stated capacity leaves little room for luggage.

Guide

Large Camping Tents

For a longer camping holiday, usable sleeping width, standing height and dry luggage space matter; compare the floor plan with the mats and bags your group actually carries.

Key points

Check stated capacity against the width of your sleeping mats.
Allow extra covered space for luggage and rainy days.
Check the full pitch size including guy lines before booking.

What to look for

Question	In brief	Why
How much sleeping room?	In briefDraw in your mats	WhyCapacity often assumes close sleeping positions; wide airbeds occupy considerably more floor space.
Which pitch size?	In briefInclude lines and entrances	WhyGuy lines extend beyond the tent floor. Doors and porches also need room within the allocated pitch.
Which weather protection?	In briefSeams, floor and ventilation	WhyA sealed floor and sound seams help with wet conditions; open vents limit condensation build-up.

Common questions

Will a large airbed fit the bedroom?

Compare the usable inner length and width with the inflated bed. Sloping walls and room dividers can take away space. Leave access clear as well so nobody has to climb across another sleeping place during the night.

Is an extension included?

Read the delivery list for the particular tent. A porch, additional groundsheet or inner bedrooms may be sold separately. Match the accessory model name carefully so dimensions and connection points work with the tent you are buying.

How many people are needed to pitch it?

That depends on size, design and instructions. Practise a complete pitch before travelling with the people who will be there. Large fabric panels catch wind readily; choose a suitable site and secure all guying as the instructions describe.

Can I cook in the porch?

Use stoves outdoors with the clearances stated in their instructions. Fire and carbon monoxide can become dangerous inside tents and poorly ventilated porches. Covered living space is for relaxing; plan an appropriate cooking area outside the tent.
