Best 4 and 5 person tents for camping
The best four and five-person tents combine robust weather resistance with a comfortable sleeping space, plenty of storage and airflow, and a usable communal space that provides shelter for when the weather turns.
We've put popular tents from Quechua, Eurohike, Vango, Halfords, and Coleman through tough tests to see which ones are worth buying for your next camping trip.
We've found both a four and five-person tent that withstood the elements to earn our Best Buy recommendation. However, several tents of this size suffered when faced with strong winds and heavy rain.
