This is a tent that brings a totally fresh approach to family camping. It’s certainly not cheap, but the £1,700 price tag is justifiable – treated well, the Serenity could last you 20 years and provide countless family holidays. PRICE £1,710 |

KEY FEATURES
WHO’S IT FOR?
The Serenity would be ideal for a family of four that spends a week or two on one site and loves comfortable camping.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
From the outside it may look very much like any other large inflatable tent, but this is far from being some derivative, ‘off-the-shelf’ model. As soon you step inside you realise that it has a style all of its own.
The footprint is vast and it enjoys more headroom throughout than most other tents we can remember. But it’s the effective use of all that space that’s so impressive.
A built-in front awning, with huge PVC windows and a skylight, makes a superb, bright area for cooking and eating. The living room is wonderfully spacious as well, with plenty of room for camping furniture.
The innovative SkyTrack system lets you attach hanging storage, fitted LED lights and SkyLiners, which give the tent added insulation and create a cosy ambience.
And then there’s the sleeping area… and that’s where things start to get really interesting. They call them Emperor bedrooms and they’re cavernous, with enough room for double beds, storage and furniture. There are doors at both ends of the bedroom, with the rear leading to a full height storage area and a handy back entrance.
WHAT’S GOOD?
The amount space available both in the living and sleeping areas is outstanding. Major features like the large bedrooms and the rear access doors are great but smaller details, like the four EHU entry points, are just as important.The overall quality is superb.
WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED?
If there was a way to reduce the weight and pack size then we would be delighted but sadly that’s the nature of these kind of tents.
