Top-Rated Family Tents and How to Choose the Right One

There are a lot of family tents out there. Choosing the right one depends on both your intended use and the number of people planning to sleep comfortably in the tent. We chose the following family tents based on car camping (not carrying the tent in your backpack) and sleeping 4 – 6 adults comfortably (so two adults and 2 – 3 kids, no problem).

When considering the size of a tent, most tents will list the number of people that can sleep in it – a 6-person tent, an 8-person tent, etc. Realistically, the number of bodies that can sleep comfortably (plus all the camping gear) will be one or two people less than the listed number. For example, a 6-person tent will comfortably fit four or five people.

With these factors in mind, here are the top-rated family tents:
