Large Air Tents for Longer Family Holidays
A large air tent is ideal for families or groups who want space to spread out and enjoy longer camping stays. Typically sleeping six to eight people, these tents often include divided bedrooms, wide living spaces, and covered canopies for additional storage or shelter.
Inflatable beam technology makes setup simple, attach the pump, inflate each beam, and secure the guylines. Despite their size, these tents are stable in wind and designed for all-weather performance, making them a reliable choice for UK campsites.
Key Benefits of Large Air Tents
Quick and Easy to Pitch
Even large air tents can be inflated in around fifteen minutes. The air beam design removes the need for heavy poles, making setup straightforward for one or two people.
Spacious Living Areas
Large air tents feature full standing height and large living zones, including bedrooms, a large living area, and sometimes a front awning or porch. This makes them perfect for longer holidays or mixed weather conditions.
Strong and Weatherproof
Most models use high-quality waterproof fabrics such as Vango’s Sentinel and Sentinel Excel ranges, offering durability and weather resistance for extended use. Taped seams, sewn-in groundsheets, and storm straps keep the interior secure and dry.
Comfortable for Extended Stays
Features such as darkened bedrooms, mesh panels, cable access points, and large windows make these tents comfortable for day-to-day living. Many models can also be paired with carpet and footprint accessories for extra warmth and comfort.
Choosing the Right Large Air Tent
When choosing a large inflatable tent, consider how often you’ll use it and what layout fits your family best.
- 8-person air tents suit large families or longer summer holidays.
- 7-person air tents are great for those wanting more storage or a flexible sleeping setup.
- Premium ranges add advanced features like climate control panels and zipped bedroom dividers.

Vango Tents FAQs
How long does it take to set up a large air tent?
Pitching a large air tent is very quick, much quicker than pole versions. Most air tents can be inflated in around 10-12 minutes using the included pump. Then peg the tent out to complete the setup.
Can one person set up a large air tent?
Yes, but it's better with two people. The inflatable design means there are no heavy poles to handle, making it manageable for one person to set up alone.
How do large air tents handle strong wind?
They perform very well in strong winds, especially compared to a poled tent. The flexible beams bend and absorb gusts, then return to shape once the pressure eases, unlike rigid poles that can break.
Do large air tents deflate in cold weather?
Slightly, but not enough to cause anything negative. If you noticed that they have deflated slightly, just top them up with the pump back to the recommended PSI.
What should I do if a beam gets punctured?
Most large air tents include a repair kit. Small punctures can be patched easily, and all tents allow you to replace the inner air bladder if necessary. Carrying a spare is useful for longer trips.
