Our 5 man tents are a great choice for small families or groups who want extra room for sleeping and storing kit. This size gives you more space than a standard 4 man tent, making it easier to keep bags and other gear organised during longer stays. The range includes poled and inflatable options from trusted brands, with layouts designed for weekend trips, short breaks, or campsite holidays.
5 Man Tents at WM Camping
A 5 man tent works well for families of three or four or groups who want a bit more space without stepping up to the larger family tent sizes. The added room makes a noticeable difference when you have extra clothing, bags, and camping equipment to keep under cover. Many tents in this size feature partitioned bedrooms, giving you the option to separate sleeping areas, along with a central living space that can be used for sitting, storing kit, or sheltering if the weather turns.
Within this range you’ll find different designs, including tunnel tents, dome tents, and inflatable air tents. Air tents are popular for their straightforward pitching, while poled models are often lighter and easier to transport. Some 5 man tents also include darker bedroom fabrics, which help reduce early morning light on bright summer days.
A porch or front canopy is common in this category and is useful for keeping boots, wet jackets, or bags outside the bedroom area. For families who want more room to spread out, a 6 man tent may be worth considering, while smaller groups or solo campers carrying less kit might prefer a 3 or 4 man tent depending on the trip.

5 Man Tent FAQs
What is a 5 man tent?
A 5 man tent is designed to sleep up to five people. It’s often used by families with children or small groups looking for a bit more room without stepping up to a larger tent size.
Is a 5 man tent suitable for a family?
Yes, 5 man tents are a popular choice for families, especially with two adults and two or three children. Some models include separate bedrooms or a central living space for added comfort.
Can a 5 man tent fit multiple airbeds?
Yes, most 5 man tents will fit at least two double airbeds or a mix of single and double beds. Check the tent’s floor plan to make sure there’s room for both beds and kit.
Do 5 man tents have a living area?
Many do. Larger 5 man tents often have a central living space between sleeping compartments, giving you room to sit, store gear, or escape bad weather. If you'd like more living space we'd recommend moving up to a 6 man tent.
Is a 5 man tent too big for just two people?
Not at all. Some couples prefer a 5 man tent for the extra space, especially if they want a living area, more headroom, or room to move around comfortably.
