Have you ever gone camping with a large group? Camping in the wild can be an amazing family holiday and memorable outdoor adventure for your kids, or a good time spent car camping with a bunch of your best mates. It’s a no-brainer that for this kind of camping, the number one gear in your list should be a reliable 8 person tent that will provide enough room for up to 8 people. If you don’t know what to start choosing your tent with, you’re in the right place. We’ve prepared a quick guide to select an all season 8 man tent that will best meet your needs and requirements.
Top Tips on How to Choose an 8 Man Tent
1. Consider the season in which you’re going to use your 8 person tent
Basically, tents are divided into categories according to their seasonality. One-season tents are suitable only for use in the tropical climate. They are breathable but aren’t able to withstand windy or wet weather. You can use a two-season tent in spring and fall, they are a bit stronger and waterproof so can survive light rain and moderate wind. Three-season tents are designed for spring, summer, and fall: they are durable enough to shelter you from wind, rain, or very light snow. Finally, four-season tents are perfect for all-year-round use. If you're thinking about going camping in cold weather, an 8 person winter tent could work for you too. We recommend getting a four-season 8 person tent even if you plan to go winter camping once or a few times.
2. Think of the most suitable tent design
The most popular designs of 8 person tents include cabin tents and dome tents. A cabin tent typically features tall walls and its ceiling gradually descends from the center, allowing for more space. In contrast, a dome tent has a ceiling that slopes down from the center more steeply.
3. Go for easy setup
When you’re about to buy an 4 season 8 person tent, watch videos of people pitching this or a similar tent. Thus you can make sure that you won’t get the one that will cause you unnecessary troubles when you’re on a family camping trip. Also, pay attention to an 8 person instant cabin tent or dome tent, designed for a quick and easy setup.
