What a two bedroom and living room tent is
A two-bedroom tent has two separate sleeping rooms and a living area, usually between them or in front of them. Adults and children can sleep apart and go to bed at different times, while everyone shares the living space in the day. These are some of the biggest family tents in the shop. A tent is filed here when its description says two bedrooms, or "2 bedroom 1 hall".
The kinds in this range
- Big tunnel tents: the 5 to 8 person tent with 2 bedrooms and 1 hall comes as a 3-pole tent, 520 by 340cm and 210cm high, about 17.6 square metres, or a 4-pole tent 680cm long, about 23.1 square metres. See tunnel tents.
- Family tents in three sizes, from S for 5 to 8 people, 320 by 220cm, to L for 8 to 12, 430 by 305cm. See family tents.
- An instant cabin tent for up to 10, with two bedrooms attached to a central screen room. See cabin tents.
- Vehicle tents: a caravan awning with two bedroom areas, 400 by 250cm and 245cm high, and a hard shell roof tent for four. See tents with awnings and roof tents.
Pitch size, height and pitching
A tent this big needs a big pitch. The 4-pole tunnel tent is 680cm long before you add the guy lines, so check the campsite's pitch size before you book. These tents are heavy, the caravan awning alone weighs 27kg, and they need at least two people to pitch: one to hold, one to peg. A tunnel tent only stands once it is pegged out, so peg the ends first, pitch with the narrow end into the wind, and peg every guy line. Height is what makes a big tent comfortable: the family tents here are 195 to 210cm high, so most adults can stand up in the living area.
Bedrooms for children
Two bedrooms let children be settled in one room while the adults sit up in the living area, and give older children a room of their own. Read the floor plan on each product to see how the two rooms sit either side of, or behind, the living area.
Questions people ask about two bedroom tents
How many people really sleep in one?
Count on the lower figure. The large family tent here sleeps 6 to 8 people comfortably, with room for up to 12 in total living space, so a family of six will have room to spare.
Can we cook in the living area?
Cook outside, away from the tent, never in the porch, the living area or a bedroom: a stove in a tent can set it alight and gives off carbon monoxide. Never take a barbecue into a tent, even one that has gone out: carbon monoxide kills.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is included in every price and tracked to your door. Each product page says when that tent usually arrives, so check it before ordering for a set date.
