A 4-man tent offers a great balance of space and convenience for two people, especially when you factor in sleeping bags, kit bags, and a bit of extra room to move around. They're a popular choice for couples or friends heading to a festival or campsite for a few nights.
Many of the tents in this range are designed to pitch quickly, making them a solid choice for weekend trips or short stays. Some models also come with added features like porch areas – handy for storing boots and bags out of the way.
At WM Camping, we stock a wide range of 4-man tents from leading brands including Vango, Outdoor Revolution, and Easy Camp. Browse the collection online or visit us in-store for our latest offers.

If you’re heading off with family or friends, a 4 man tent is a good balance between space and ease of use. There’s enough room for four people to sleep, yet the tent is still quick to pitch and pack away. Many come with a separate bedroom and living area, which is handy for storing bags, shoes, or even a small table and chairs. Designed with durable fabrics and waterproof coatings, they’re built to cope with typical UK weather.
Some models are more compact – ideal for weekends away – while others offer more room for longer stays. You’ll also find options with inflatable beams or colour-coded poles to make pitching even easier. Whether you’re off to a festival, the coast, or a campsite, a 4 man tent gives you a simple, comfortable base that doesn’t take up too much space in the car or on your pitch.
4 Man Tents with Standing Room
Many of the larger 4 man tents include standing height in the living area, which can make a big difference when you’re away. Being able to stand up properly means it’s easier to get changed, sort out your gear, or just move around without crouching. It’s especially useful if the weather turns and you end up spending more time inside.
The extra headroom also helps the tent feel more open and spacious. These tents usually have a bedroom area plus a separate living space, with large doors and windows to let in light and air. If you’re staying for more than a night – or have younger kids – that bit of extra space can help everyone feel more settled.
4 Man Air Tents
4 man air tents are designed to make pitching quicker and less of a faff. Instead of traditional poles, they use air beams that you pump up to form the structure. It means you can get the tent up quickly – useful if you arrive late or there’s rain on the way.
Despite not using poles, they’re still strong and stable, with the air beams flexing slightly in the wind rather than snapping. They’re fully waterproof, with sealed seams to keep the rain out. These tents are a great option for couples or families who want something easy to set up, without sacrificing comfort or reliability. When it’s time to leave, just let the air out, roll it up, and you’re done – no messing about with poles.

4 Man Tents with Porch Space
A porch gives you a bit of extra covered space outside the sleeping area – ideal for muddy boots, wet clothes, or extra gear. Many of our 4 man tents include built-in porches or canopies, which help keep things tidy and provide shelter in bad weather.
They’re great for storing kit, having a quick meal, or just sitting out of the rain. Some have clear windows to let light in and roll-up panels for privacy, while others come with groundsheets in the porch to keep dirt at bay. If you’re camping for a few nights or bringing more stuff with you, a porch can make things easier and more comfortable. It’s a simple feature, but one that adds a lot of useable space.
4 Man Tents FAQs
A 4 man tent is designed to sleep up to four people. It offers more space than smaller tents, making it popular with small families, couples wanting extra room, or groups of friends.
Some do. Many family or larger dome tents include a built-in divider or pod-style inner tents, allowing for separate sleeping areas or privacy.
It depends on your camping style:
Air tents vs. Poled tents:
- Setup Time: Air tents take under 10 minutes, while poled tents take 15-30 minutes.
- Weight: Air tents tend to be heavier, whereas poled tents are lighter to transport.
- Stability: Air tents flex in strong winds, while poled tents have a rigid structure.
- Cost: Air tents are generally more expensive, while poled tents are more budget-friendly.
It depends on the design. Lightweight versions pack down relatively small for carrying, while larger family-style 4 man tents will be bulkier and more suited to car camping.
Dome tents tend to be easier to pitch and more stable in wind. Tunnel tents usually offer more internal space and headroom, often with a larger living area.
