If you're going camping with your family or friends, family tents are the way to go. They're bigger, with roomy living spaces and two or three bedrooms. Most of them even come with a bit extra, like a front porch or canopy, giving you more space to chill outside.
Family tents are made to be large so everyone can move around without feeling cramped. Some people even like using a 6-person tents for smaller groups because it's cosier and gives more space.
We suggest a 6-person family tent for families of 4 and an 8-person one for families of 6, especially if you're camping for more than a weekend and need more room.
Family tents have cool features that families love, like electricity cable entry points, big windows for natural light, and pockets to store your gear. And, of course, they're tall enough so you can stand up comfortably.
