Family Tents at WM Camping
Family Tents with Living Areas
Modern family tents come with generous living spaces, ideal for relaxing, dining, and spending time together under canvas. The living areas in these tents are designed to be bright and spacious, giving you a comfortable indoor area, whatever the weather. Many large family tents feature extended living areas perfect for longer stays.
Family Tents with Separate Bedrooms
Privacy is important when camping as a family. Many family tents feature separate bedroom compartments, allowing parents and children their own space. With zip-close doors and divided sleeping areas, everyone can enjoy a better night’s sleep. Whether you need a 6 person family tent or a larger model, our range offers plenty of choice.
Family Tents with Head Room
Spending time inside the tent is far more comfortable when you can stand up and move around easily. Most family tents are designed with full headroom throughout the living and sleeping areas, making the space feel larger and more comfortable for extended stays. Our family tents combine generous headroom with strong, weather-resistant designs.
Family Tents with Darkened Bedrooms
Darkened bedrooms are a key feature in many family tents, helping to block out early morning light. By reducing glare, these tents allow everyone to rest longer, making them an excellent choice for families with younger children or anyone sensitive to light when sleeping. Many of our 8 person family tents and large family tents come with this feature for added comfort.
