Tents with rigid poles made of stainless steel or aluminium are for building a rigid frame that will keep your tent sturdy in the wind. They can be heavier and more cumbersome to pitch, though.

There are also tents with inflatable poles. You'll need to pump up each pole individually, so it can take a bit of effort, but you can avoid trying to feed the poles through the tent canvas. Tent footprints are available to buy separately from tents at outdoor retailers. They're essentially an extra groundsheet that you can pitch before your tent, with the aim of pitching your tent on top of it. This may look like a fairly standard family tent, but there is durability, quality and considered details in every corner of this five-berth set-up.We pitch every tent, taking into account how long it takes, how clear the instructions are, how much physical effort is required, and how convenient the process is. When choosing a family tent, there are a few different things to consider. Firstly, how much space you’ll need so that all your clan can all be comfortable.

With a reputation for quality and durability, Berghaus has been a trusted name in outdoor gear for years, and this brand-new range of pole tents is no exception. However, if you’re planning on a week's holiday or longer, you may want to go even larger.

Many serious camping families have a few different tent options, depending on the type of holiday they are planning. What to look for when choosing a family tent

We inspect the interiors of the tents during and after testing to see how each fares against the elements. Some tents manage to stay firm, but others blow over and even have puddles in the sleeping compartments. Relax, recline, and cook up a storm in total comfort and style with the new Berghaus furniture range. With a sleek grey-marl finish and designed to co-ordinate and accompany any Berghaus tent, the Freeform furniture range will take your camping experience to the next level. Like a decent sleeping bag, the right tent is imperative to your camping comfort and can absolutely make or break your family holiday.
