A Tunnel Tent is spacious and comfortable

A tunnel tent is known for its good use of internal space making great for Mom, Dad and the kids while family camping.  Although you may find larger tunnel tents a bit heavy, simply remove the tent poles in a separate bag and that will alleviate some of that weight.  

Other tunnel camping tents can be quite the opposite weighing as little as one and a half pounds. The type of material used is generally nylon and is not a spacious tent, however it is very compact and lightweight. Being a freestanding tent it does not need any stakes unless a fly is added. Because of its design the wind flows off of it easily and makes it great for winter camping. It is easily assembled and dismantled.
 

To set up a larger tunnel camping tent why not call over the kids and make it a game to play.  Lie the tent tunnel flat on the ground and slide the tent poles along the sides through the sleeves and have the kids insert the end of the pole into the rings.  Once you’ve done this part, the tent will begin to form shape and prop up quite quickly.  Some tents with a tunnel design have one or more compartment rooms depending on the size.  Other features you will find in a tunnel styled tent are inside hanging pockets with zippers, adjustable windows and air vents for better ventilation.   

Because tunnel camping tents can be quite large, you can camp a lot more like home with folding bed cots, air mattresses and even fit a camping chair and table inside for an eating area.  A family favorite it the Gelert Lokon Vario 4 MRP £55 is ideal for larger groups with maximum space, ultimate stability and specifically designed to be easy and quick to pitch.  Features on this tent include flysheet first pitching, detachable living area groundsheet, internal steel support poles, adjustable door position and frond and side door entrance.  Colors you will find in a tunnel style tent include camouflage, grey, green and tan to name a few.
