3 Man Tents at WM Camping
A 3 man tent works well for two people who want more room than a standard 2 berth model can offer. Once two rucksacks or duffel bags are added, smaller tents can feel tight, so moving up to a 3 man tent gives you space to stay organised and keep the sleeping area clear. Many models in this size include a small porch or sheltered entry, which helps keep muddy boots and wet gear out of the main sleeping space.
These tents are straightforward to pitch, making them suitable for weekends away, festivals, or last-minute trips. Some offer a simple single-room layout, while others include a small living area, giving you a bit more flexibility if the weather turns. If you’re sharing with a partner or friend, this size offers enough space to sit up comfortably, store kit, and sleep without feeling boxed in.
Within this range you’ll find tents from brands such as Vango, Outwell, and other familiar names, covering both budget-friendly and more technical options. When choosing a tent, consider how much time you’ll spend inside and how much kit you usually take, as this will help you pick the layout that suits the way you camp.
