Best 4 and 5 person tents 2024 for camping

Avoid the tents that blew over and let the rain in during our tests

Joel BatesSenior researcher & writer

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.
