Best Value Family Tent

The 2026 crown for Best Value Family Tent goes to Trail for this impressive six-berth shelter that proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to camp in comfort.

Currently priced at around £380 (down from the RRP of £700), it delivers space, durability and easy pitching without feeling like a budget compromise. Setting up the Brazen 6 is a joy rather than a chore.

Thanks to inflatable air poles, you just peg down, pump up and you’re done – no fiddly pole threading to test your patience first thing after arrival.

Once it’s up, the living area really shines. Tall enough to stand in and wide enough for furniture and camping kit, it becomes a proper hub for rainy-day card games or a sun-shaded chill spot.

A linked tub groundsheet helps keep the damp and bugs at bay, and plenty of windows let in light and views.

Sleeping quarters are given the dark treatment with Brazen’s Dark Zone bedroom fabric designed to block out sunlight, helping you nab extra hours in the morning when you’re on holiday.

With room for six and a removable divider to create two three-berth spaces, there’s privacy, too, for families or groups.

Plus, with a hefty 5,000mm hydrostatic head, this tent laughs in the face of soggy British summers, keeping you dry even in proper downpours. It may be easy on the wallet (especially on sale), but it feels reassuringly rugged once the weather turns.
