Festival season is fast approaching and you have likely bought some tickets by now! Whether you are lucky enough to be going to Glastonbury or perhaps Reading or Leeds, this guide should help you find a tent that’ll last for many festivals to come! We’ve reviewed some of the best festival tents for 2022.
First things first, when you are at a festival you need to know that the number of people a tent says it can sleep should be cut in half. If you are planning to buy a 4-person tent to sleep 4 people, think again. Where are you going to be storing all that beer for starters? Even with no belongings, a 4 person tent with 4 adults will be a tight squeeze.
The second piece of advice I can offer is to avoid single skin tents at all costs! I mean all costs. If you are going to a festival in the UK it is very likely it will rain. Single skin tents are cheap tents that provide no protection to the elements, particularly rain. I learnt that lesson firsthand at my inaugural festival in my early teens. After a few spells of heavy rain my belongings were soaked and I have gone double skin ever since.
We have reviewed various high-quality tents at good prices from online stores and retailers.

Best value 2 man tent that will last
Coleman Darwin Dome Tent (2 person)
Taking just over a few minutes to pitch, this Yellowstone tent comes in at less than 3KG. It is one of the cheapest double skin tents on the market which should protect you from the rain. It includes:
- A separate bedroom to hang inside helps stop leaks
- A small porch area which is great for your wellies or a chair
- Side pockets in the cabin to keep the tent tidy
I would say the tent is ideal for someone camping alone with their belongings, but you could sleep two people as it easily fits in a double airbed.

Highest Quality 3 man tent

The Coleman 3+ Coastline tent is a great pick if you are looking for quality. It is definitely big enough to fit two people with room for belongings. If needed, however, you could have plenty of room for three people if you pack light!
It’s a high-quality product that should last you multiple festivals every year. Features include:
- A spacious vestibule for separating the living and sleeping quarters

Outsunny 4-6 Man Camping Tent
Our final tent is the larger, 4-6 man Outsunny tent. Separated into two separate sleeping compartments, and a social/storage space in the middle, the Outsunny will provide enough space at a low cost.
This tent is ideal for larger groups or a smaller group looking to live in a luxury. The larger design obviously means a heavier carry weight and pitching time (roughly 20 minutes).
