Camping Awards 2024 category: Best Family Tent
To stand out in this class, a tent must be spacious enough for a family to enjoy long holidays but we also expect a certain level of comfort, features and innovation to lift it above the average

Why the Vango Anantara IV Air TC 650XL?
It’s hard to believe it’s more than 13 years since Vango launched the AirBeam range of tents – the first mainstream inflatable family tent. Rivals initially dismissed it as a gimmick, but soon changed their tune when they realised how much campers loved the new technology.
In fact, it’s fair to say, inflatable tents have revolutionised family camping in the UK and, over the last decade or so, Vango has led the way with its technology. In 2024, the Scottish brand continues to innovate, with the its new Anantara IV Air TC 650XL, a six-man inflatable tent that is the absolute epitome of lavish camping.
This is perfect for families who need plenty of space on longer holidays and who want something that is simple to pitch but offers flexible living options.
The Anantara is now made with Sentinel Signature TC Fabric, which repels water and contains ColourLok to protect from UV rays.
As well as boasting the latest fabric technology, this is a luxury family tent packed with features and high-quality materials, that should help you enjoy years of memorable family camping holidays.
We like
- Technical cotton fabric with ColourLok UV protection
- S.I Pro single-point inflation system

Our verdict
Space and privacy are the two big benefits of the Zempire Pro III V2. The inflatable frame has a central crossover structure that provides an expansive living space along with more privacy in the three separate bedrooms.
A great choice for families who want their own space as well as communal living.
