Tent Of The Year 2021
Vango Anantara III Air TC 650XL
A decade after Vango brought inflatable tents to the mainstream with AirBeam technology, the latest version of the Anantara takes them to the next level.
As well as boasting the latest tech, this is a luxury family tent packed with features and high-quality materials, that should help you enjoy years of memorable family camping holidays.
Best Family Tent
Vango Anantara III Air TC 650XL
Despite the trend for enormous tents, the six-berth family model is still the most popular on the campsite and there is a huge amount of choice out there
Best Small Family Tent
Outwell Oakdale 5PA
With cars getting smaller, many families are turning to compact tents that are easier to fit in the boot, but still provide all the comfort and space they need
Best XL Family Tent
Outwell Knoxville 7SA
Supersize me! The fashion for XL tents shows no sign of slowing down and if you really want to spread out on the campsite then it might be time to go large
Best Poled Family Tent
Coleman Castle Pines 6L
Inflatable tents might be the most popular for families these days, but there are still many campers who prefer the simplicity of traditional poled tents

Quick and easy to pitch, weekend and touring tents are designed for campers who want to get set up as fast as possible and get on with enjoying their time on the campsite
