Camping is a fantastic way to get back to basics and be one with nature. Even in the UK alone there are hundreds of campsites that you can stay at and use to explore the local area but, in order to go camping, there is one very necessary item you will need – a tent!

There are many tents to choose, all of varied size, but the tent that will be the focus of this article is a 4 man tent. As the name suggests, this kind of tent will sleep up to 4 people. However, this does not mean you should only get this tent if you plan to camp with 4 people. Sometimes buying a 4 man tent with only 2 campers is a great idea as this will allow you to have some extra space.
When choosing a tent, the most important thing is quality – you most certainly don’t want to be staying in a poor quality tent when the weather is bad! The best brands of tents include Hilleberg, MSR, Big Agnes, Vango and Black Diamond. Also, when choosing a 4 man tent it’s also important to know what actually makes a good 4 man tent?
A big part of deciding on your tent is the space. Yes, a 4 man tent can fit 4 people but, where? For example, would you prefer a tent with one, stand alone space for all the campers to reside or, perhaps if you are camping with your children, would you prefer a tent with two rooms allowing for more space and privacy. Other things to consider is do you mind being woken up by the daylight in the morning or would you prefer to have a tent with blackout material? A final thing to consider would be the overall weight of the tent as there may be times where you are unable to park your car directly next to your pitching area and so you may need to carry your tent for some distance.
So, without any further ado, what are the best 4 man tents available?
First, there is the AmazonBasics Tent which is manufactured by Amazonbasics and can be purchased on Amazon for just under £65. The total height of this tent is 48 inches and it is a round shape.
