Tunnel tents are perfect for families needing additional space as they have plenty of it! They are designed to provide more accessible space. The Vango is a tent with 2 rooms, an extremely large living area and a huge porch to sit outside. It could accommodate far more than the 6 people it advertises, so space is definitely not lacking in the Capri!

The double layered sleeping area also makes this a dark-rest tent. It is also inflatable so is easy to assemble, making this an ideal buy.

Eurohike Genus 400

This is the best family tent for families trying to save money or shop on a budget. For under £200, this will satisfy your family camping needs for a low price. This inflatable, 4-man tent is extremely quick to assemble, it has a tunnel design to optimise accessible living space and a porch for outside seating.
