About our 2022 Camping Tent Awards
The Camping magazine Editor’s Choice Awards are the most prestigious awards in UK family camping. The winners are independently chosen by experts with years of experience on the Camping team and each award recognises the effort that goes into every aspect of product development.
The 2022 awards recognise the tents that have made the biggest impression on us over the last 12 months and the ones we think will improve your camping life this year.
About the Tent of the Year 2022 award
To win the overall Tent of the Year award, we demand exceptional quality in all the key areas - value for money, spec, innovation, versatility and good old-fashioned usefulness. Camping magazine has been the trusted voice of UK campers for 60 years so when a tent gets our seal of approval, you know it deserves it.

2022 winner - Tent of the Year 2022
Coleman Weathermaster 8XL Air

The Coleman Weathermaster 8XL Air has been on the market for a couple of years now, and we’ve assessed it for our awards before. But, like all the best things in life, it gets better with age and the more we use it the more we love it.
For sheer quality, no-nonsense practicality and great value for money we don’t think it can be beaten.
A superb family tent for newcomers and camping veterans alike, it also landed the award for the best XL Family Tent and it is a worthy winner of our overall Tent of the Year for 2022.
