What size tent do you need?
When buying a tent you should consider how many people will be going on your glamping holiday. If you’re planning a dream campsite holiday for several people, you’ll need to look at large tents that offer plenty of space for everyone.
From festival tents to dome tents or family tents, a reputable outdoor store will have a range of tents from leading brands so you can pick one to suit your budget and needs. Some tents have several separate rooms, which is great if you want some privacy.
Couples will only need a small, lightweight tent, especially if you’re camping in Europe during the summer as the weather is usually warm.
If you are taking your dog camping with you, (many of our campsites accept pets), don´t forget to allow some room for them, too. You’ll also need space to store your tent accessories and equipment like a table and chairs, a cooking stove, pots and pans, a torch, a first aid kit and a mallet to knock in the tent pegs.
What else should you consider when buying a tent?
While it might not rain much at your luxury campsite in Europe, you should choose a tent that’s waterproof. There’s nothing worse than waking up feeling cold and damp because it’s rained the night before.
You can also buy tent rain covers from a camping shop. It’s also always a good idea to pack a raincoat just in case! Before you decide which tent to purchase, review a buying guide online to compare the features and benefits of each tent.
With such a large range of tents on the market, it’s important to choose one that is easy to put up and take down. This will make sure you have more time to enjoy your break at a Sunêlia luxury campsite.
If you’ve never put up a tent before, have a practice run in your back garden before you set out on your holiday.
Get the kids to help you and the tent erecting ceremony can be a joint effort! This means you’ll be able to erect the tent quickly and have more time to enjoy the campsite activities.
