7 of the best tents you can find on Amazon right now
Naturehike Upgraded Cloud-Up 2-Person Backpacking Camping Tent (from $169)
This tent has been designed to be ultra-light and easy to transport, so backpacking with it is incredibly simple.
It fits two people, so is best suited to couples or travel buddies, and it has been built with useful additions like mesh storage pockets to help increase your comfort while travelling with it.
Naturehike Cloud up 1 Person Backpacking Tent (from $139)
Similar to the choice above, this Naturehike tent is another popular choice for backpacking campers. The only difference? This one is designed for solo travellers. So, if you’re looking for an outdoor adventure on your own, this lightweight option is a good one to consider.
Night Cat Waterproof Backpacking Tent ($69.99)
This two-person backpacking tent boasts waterproof materials, so it’s best suited to those who are keen to take it out on hiking or fishing trips.
You can set the Night Cat tent up in two minutes, and it’s available in a handful of different colours (olive, orange and ocean blue).
Coleman Sundome Camping Tent, 6-person ($294)
Moving into larger territory now, the Coleman Sundome Camping tent can fit up to six people, so it’s ideal for group trips away.
Fitted with an e-port to make plugging in your electronics easier and reflective guylines to help with visibility at night, this tent has been designed to make your camping experience as seamless as possible.
And with over 19,000 ratings on Amazon, it’s pretty safe to say it achieves that fairly well.
Oh, and it’s worth noting that this model does come in a two or four-person set-up as well.
UNP Camping 10-Person-Family Tent (from $329.89)
The UNP tent can accommodate up to 10 people, so if you’re looking for somewhere to set up camp with your entire group, this is a good place to look.
UNP shares that the tent should fit three full air mattresses and that its centre height is 78 inches tall (or 198 cm), so it should be fairly roomy.
This tent has a privacy divider curtain, so you can turn it into two rooms if you like. Or, if you prefer, you can use the divider curtain to project movies on for an outdoor cinema experience. The tent also has an inbuilt mosquito-repellent mesh roof that allows you to star gaze at night.
Coleman Skydome Camping Tent (from $151.47)
This Skydome Camping Tent from Coleman is available in two-person through to eight-person sizes and boasts 20 per cent more headroom than other Coleman dome options (useful).
The Skydome has a wider door than most, so it’s easier to bring items in and out, and Coleman also shares that this model is effective at keeping out water and can withstand winds up to 35 mph (56 km per hour).
Napier Backroadz SUV Tent ($639)
If you’re looking for a family or group-friendly tent that’s specifically suited to car camping, the Napier Backroadz is worth a look. This option sleeps five people and has a universal vehicle sleeve that will fit all SUVs and minivans.
The baby has taped seams and storm flaps for weather protection, and when the conditions call for it, three mesh windows allow for ventilation.
