Family tents & group tents

Some tents are large enough for the whole family or a group of people to sleep in comfortably. Such family tents or group tents are available in different designs - depending on the number of people and the desired features. You can find a wide range of models for different purposes, from family camping to group tours, in the Transa online shop.

Types of family tents and group tents

Size camping tents for families and groups are available in several different designs. The different types of family tents or group tents each offer their own advantages.

• Tipi tents: This popular variant in a round shape with a pointed gable promises a great atmosphere, especially when camping with kids.
• Tunnel tent: Thanks to their modern, comfortable design, these rather elongated tents are comparatively light and practical.
• Dome tent: The special construction of a dome tent offers plenty of space; such tents are also quite easy to pitch.
• Yurt: You can usually stand in these large tents with vertical outer walls, and they are also suitable for larger groups.

What to look out for when buying a family tent

When camping with the whole family, you need enough space for sleeping and luggage. It should also be neither too cold nor too warm in the camping tent at night. That's why you should choose your new camping tents for the family so that they fulfil the most important requirements.

• Size: From a 4-person tent to a large family tent for 6 people, you should always choose the right size. Although a larger tent offers more space, it also adds to the weight of your luggage.
• Weather protection: Good ventilation is important in summer, especially if 4 or more people are sleeping in the tent. The material should also protect against rain. In winter, additional insulation or stronger materials make sense.
• Features: Depending on your individual needs, you should also look out for special features when buying a camping tent, such as an awning for luggage, awning, inner tent, mosquito protection or ventilation openings.

Group tents for special purposes

Some tents offer more uses than just a sheltered place to sleep. In a spacious yurt, which is even high enough to stand in, there is enough space for up to twelve people for weather-protected group activities. It can also sleep up to six people overnight. The high ceiling in particular makes you feel less cramped than in a small camping tent. In turn, large tipi tents for six people are ideal for glamping thanks to their high, spacious interior.
