Once you’ve kitted your kids out with a pop-up tent, make sure they also have a warm and comfortable sleeping bag to snuggle down in. Our kids’ sleeping bags are the perfect size to make your kids feel cosy throughout the night. We have kids’ sleeping bags for any climate, including our mummy-style sleeping bags for those colder nights and envelope style sleeping bags in various colours and fun prints.

Air circulation might not be your first concern when tent shopping, but it can have a major impact on your comfort. Tents are sized according to the number of adults they can feasibly sleep (two-, four-, six-person and so on), but unless you’re looking for an ultralight adventure tent for one person, the rule of thumb is that if you halve the stated person number, you’ll get the number of adults the tent will actually sleep comfortably. A four-person tent will give two adults plenty of extra space for bags without being squashed but, if you’re camping with kids, a six-person tent (with separate bedrooms) is ideal. A handy rule of thumb is to subtract one person (or two people if you have a lot of stuff) from the number listed. This means if there are two of you (for example) you'd probably be best suited to a three-person tent. 2) Look for air vents and consider their size and quality Regarding the weight, in view of its 13.5 lb (6.12 kg), the tent can be described as a bit heavy for its floor area, but it is tall so there is lots of material, and you also have its instant features that imply more metal parts. While they take a little longer to pitch than pop-up designs, inflatable tents, especially large six to 12 person designs, take a fraction of the time to pitch compared to standard large tents. Just peg out and pump them up. They’re expensive and often hard to deflate, but great if you’re planning a week or so under canvas.

If you want to make your next camping trip as organised and stress-free as possible, look at our camping cupboards and storage range. Decathlon has some great solutions, from camping cupboards to kitchen stands to help you and your family keep your tent tidy for a more relaxed trip. Each piece is designed to make the best use of whatever limited space you have available. Our folding camping cupboard is perfect for storing toys, clothes and swimming gear when it's not in use. Then there's our camping kitchen stand that will keep all your cooking equipment organised and maximise your meal preparation space. To pitch, you simply peg out the flysheet and insert the pole. The tent’s inner can be removed if you want to use it as a sunshade or bivvy, and if the weather is warm the centre pole can be extended to increase airflow. It’s expensive compared to basic pop-up and fast pitch tents, but this high-quality design is made using tough ripstop polyester, has excellent alloy components and is extremely waterproof. It’s an investment, but will last for years.

We pitch and peg out each tent following the instructions, taking into account how long it takes us, how straightforward the process is, and any struggles we have along the way. Don’t invest hundreds of pounds on a large tent – or hi-tech mountaineering design – that you only need for one weekend at a festival. In this situation, we suggest borrowing one from a friend. Regarding the price, this is a very affordable tent, a good value for the money. It is rare to have aluminum in such budget tents. Specifications With such walls, with windows on all 4 doors, and with a peak height of 76.75 inches (195 cm), this is a tall and pleasant construction with lots of volume inside. Note that the windows are with mesh and zippered panels.These are the only 2-layer areas in this tent, so this is a single-layer tent. You’ll want to take an eye mask if you plan on sleeping past dawn as it is very light in the mornings – but you’re using it for adventure, rather than sleeping off festival excesses.

During the course of our testing, all the tents experience heavy downpours, wind and muddy conditions. The outer fabric is made from silicone coated ripstop that will survive any weather and there are two doors with mosquito net protection, so you can avoid clambering over people in the night. UV protected fabric, good waterproofing and lots of internal storage options make this a thoroughly practical tent for anyone who wants a comfortable time under canvas but doesn’t have any interest in faffing about with poles and pitching.

Regarding the capacity, the tent is officially for 5 people. For this, you have an area of 62 ft² (5.76 m²), and this would mean 12.4 ft² (1.15 m²) per person. They describe this as a ‘spacious area’. We select the bestselling pop up tents, buy every pop up tent we test and take them to a field to peg them up and record how they stand up to the wind and rain during a blustery week. Pitching and collapsingThe classic pop-up tent is ideal for one person or a very cosy couple looking for somewhere to sleep, rather than basecamp in for any length of time. The large round bags are awkward to carry, so a car is generally needed, even though they’re quite light. Five things to look for when buying a pop up tent 1) Be wary of how many people supposedly fit in the tent Be warned, though, that you’ll need to be at least five-feet eight inches (172cm) tall and have a relatively strong grip to lift and clip the tent together.

Unlike many compact tipi tents, the pole is positioned off centre so it doesn’t impact the bedroom space. Instead, it mounts at the front of the opening and is held in place by a secure fabric loop. It’s an ideal size for a young family. I already mentioned the issue of ventilation. The tent is best suited for warm weather camping without rain. It is tall and boxy so I would avoid windy places. You can also use it as a utility tent next to your family camping tent, so here you can store some of your gear. Decathlon popularised the pop-up tent and revolutionised festival camping, but those early designs, while easy to put up, were extremely difficult to fold away again. Thankfully, the design has evolved and, while it’s still incredibly simple to pitch, it can also be put away without (much) swearing. Courtesy of colour coded straps and clips, it’s easy to fold the tent in half, after which a pull cord system then holds everything in place while you fold it again to fit the bag. It’s still a faff, but so much easier than previous versions.Manufacturers don't appear to take storing kit into account when labelling tents, so you might find yourself short on space. This is both good and bad. The good is that you have poles from outside, this is sometimes described as a dry setup, and this means you can pitch this tent even when it is raining and its inner space will remain protected. The bad is that condensation can be an issue with such construction. Ventilation
