Best Camping Tents for Groups of 5 or More

In the brand line of the Ranger brand, the tent is the most capacious. At the same time, the model attracts with its democratic price, claiming the status of one of the most affordable among 5-seater solutions. It is well suited for outings in nature by car, is characterized by a relatively small weight of 8.5 kg (as for camping) and moderate dimensions in the cover - 19x16x67 cm.

The hemispherical shape of the Ranger Tornado 5 is determined by a trio of dense fiberglass arcs. Moreover, due to the size of 9.5 mm, the overall reliability and wind resistance of the structure is increased.

The tent does not have the largest vestibule (for its capacity), but thanks to the canopy, you can significantly increase the space in front of the input to the sleeping area, protected from direct sunlight and light fit. As a result, there will be room for equipment and a camp mini-kitchen in case of bad weather.

The vestibule is complemented by a pair of panoramic windows, and the input to the bedroom is duplicated by a mosquito net, plus there are traditional equipment features - pockets and a loop for hanging a lantern.

The Ranger Tornado 5's floor area measures 230x230 cm, which should be enough for 5 average-sized adults to sleep overnight. The length is really generous, but the width is less than 50 cm per person, meaning it might be a bit cramped for larger tourists. One input should be considered a drawback, and the lack of zoning of the sleeping area, at least with partitions, is a minus for the tent.

It is recommended to use the model in summer. There are two layers here - an internal breathable tent with an air valve under the ceiling and a denser outer layer designed to protect from moisture. The awning's water resistance is a limited 2000 mm, that is, it will protect only from fit of low intensity and duration. But given the low price, the Ranger Tornado 5 is a good choice, especially for recreation mainly in dry weather.

The SOLEX brand tent, although designed for 5 people, has a relatively small weight - 7.5 kg. This feature adds versatility to the model, because under certain conditions it can be considered not only for camping, but also for trekking. When recalculated for one tourist, the increase in the weight of the equipment will not be an perfect kilogram, but an acceptable 1.5 kg.

In general, SOLEX Arkansas 5 is better suited for more comfortable scenarios of spending time outdoors with a long stay in one place. The peak height of the model reaches 180 cm, that is, tourists of average height will not have to bend over here. Of course, a large vestibule with a length of more than 2 meters and panoramic windows deserves special mention. Accordingly, it will be possible to organize a dining area here, placing a tourist table and other furniture.

The recreation area here is also quite spacious: its height is 1.8 meters, and the floor dimensions are 305x225 cm, so one tourist will have even a little more than the standard 60 cm in width. However, there is only one bedroom, which, for example, is not very convenient for two families vacationing together. The disadvantages also include one input to the room.

The model is positioned as a solution for the warm season, which is why fiberglass arches are used here. They are not afraid of deformation under long-term loads, but are sensitive to low air temperatures. The awning provides additional sealing of seams and reinforced angles, increasing the tear strength of the fabric. The level of moisture protection is quite weak (only 1500 mm of water column), so even a little rain can cause soaking. But if you need an inexpensive tent for five, then the SOLEX Arkansas 5 is a worthy option.

The Totem brand camping tent is suitable for a large family or a group of friends. It provides two separate bedrooms, where each can accommodate 3 people for the night - the dimensions of each floor are 220 by 180 cm.

Between the recreation areas in Totem Hurone 6 V2 there is a large vestibule. It has two entrances from the street, which increases convenience and allows for cross-ventilation. You can stand upright inside (the ceiling is 2 meters high), and the vestibule length of 210 cm is enough for a small camping table and other equipment of the mini-kitchen. In addition, you can arrange a canopy at one input - steel racks are included in the package.

The tent frame is formed by four fiberglass arcs. This material is not afraid of deformation during long camping stops. The arcs of the model are really thick (11 mm), which increases the rigidity and strength of the structure, increases wind resistance. At the same time, the weight of the product by the standards of a 6-person solution is small - 8.8 kg.

The model provides a familiar two-layer design with an inner tent made of breathable polyester. Traditional equipment features - mosquito nets, pockets and a loop for a lantern - are also available. The bottom is made of thick polyethylene with standard waterproofing indicators of 10,000 mm of water column. But the outer awning has basic moisture protection - 2000 mm, which is enough only for light fit. If this is not a critical point, then the Totem Hurone 6 V2 is a balanced 6-person tent in terms of price, comfort and quality.

Despite its camping purpose and capacity for 5 people, the High Peak tent is distinguished by its moderate weight (8.8 kg) and simple assembly procedure. Thus, the frame consists of 3 arcs with informative color marking. Two elements are placed crosswise, forming a sleeping area, and the third increases the space of the vestibule. The arcs are made of fiberglass and are distinguished by good density - size 9.5 mm.

For storage and transportation of High Peak Tessin 5.1, a bag with a zipper and handles is offered. The dimensions when folded are 62x24x24 cm or slightly less than 36 liters of volume, which is not much for a 5-person camping product.

The tent is positioned as a 3-season solution - it is not suitable only for difficult winter trips to nature. The outer awning has a water resistance of 3000 mm of water column, so moderate fit will not be a problem for users. The model is also perfectly prepared for sunny weather. The awning has UV protection, and not just for show, but with full testing and certification from UV STANDARD 801.

There are 2 entrances to the vestibule of the tent, and inside there is a space 160 cm long, a pair of observation windows, a well-thought-out ventilation system under the ceiling and near the floor. There are also internal pockets, a loop for a lantern and mosquito nets. The use of high-quality fittings of the SBS brand is declared.

The sleeping area is shared, which means a certain lack of privacy for five people. The dimensions of this room on the floor are 280x220 cm: this gives a width reserve of 56 cm for one person, which is slightly less than the standard 60 cm.

High Peak Tessin 5.1 is an interesting 5-person tent for a group of friends and/or short outings into nature.

The five-person tent by Terra Incognita is positioned as a three-season solution for long-term outdoor recreation. It is equipped with a reliable fiberglass frame. It offers four dense arcs with a size of 9.5 mm, two of which form a large vestibule with a maximum ceiling height of 2 meters and a length of 260 cm. The total area of the hallway is only slightly less than 7 "squares", which is enough to organize a camp kitchen or dining room.

Terra Incognita Grand 5 also comes with a pair of 1.7 m high steel posts. They allow you to create a canopy in front of one of the two entrances to the vestibule.

The tent is well prepared for rain, because the polyester awning has a polyurethane coating with a water resistance of 3000 mm of water column. And in the sleeping area there is a floor made of dense synthetic Oxford fabric with a water resistance of 5000 mm.

To increase the comfort of tourists, a ventilation system with 6 holes has been implemented, plus there are 3 viewing windows at once. Traditional equipment elements, such as mosquito nets and a loop for a lantern, are complemented by a hanging shelf for storing small items - it is located under the dome in the vestibule.

The model provides a common bedroom for five. Since the width is 260 cm, there is a reserve of 52 cm per person, and this is often not enough and does not eliminate the feeling of tightness. The model weighs a moderate 10.8 kg, and the dimensions in the cover are 55x23x23 cm (less than 30 liters in terms of volume), so there should be no problems with transportation and storage.

Terra Incognita Grand 5 is a solid camping tent representing the mid-price segment.
