This year, our list of best-selling family camping tents<\/a> has seen yet another shake-up! Some much-loved favourites have dropped off again, while a bunch of new tents are firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n

Despite the changes, there are a few ongoing trends:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Integrated interior LED lighting
\u2022 Fly coatings to filter sunlight and heat
\u2022 Easy-up, quick-pitch, fast-frame, instant-up – there is demand for them all<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s ranking also continues to feature inflatable technology \u2013 often copping scepticism for being more prone to punctures, but proving to offer impressive stability and durability.<\/p>\n

A tent needs to offer liveability, comfort, and ease of use; essential factors for a fun and relaxing family holiday. We want you to love camping just as much as we do, so each year we crunch the numbers to work out which family tents have come out on top.
We also want our customers to do the talking, not us. These results are based purely on the sales over the last 12 months, both online and in-store at Snowys.<\/p>\n

Starting at Number 10…<\/p>\n

10. Dometic Santorini FTK TC: 2×4 and 4×8<\/h2>\n

Despite levels of skepticism of inflatable frames (thought to be prone to punctures) versus standard materials like alloy, steel, or aluminium – Dometic\u2019s air frame technology boasts many benefits. Once our ‘what to watch’ family tent, the Santorini FTK TC is now confidently rated number 10 in our 2024 family tent review – dropping from number 9 in 2024. Why? Well, given the substantial number of air tents in this year’s ranking, it can’t have anything to do with the Santorini’s\u00a0strong, durable, and resilient air tubes.<\/p>\n

The Santorini frame\u2019s construction is comprised of a TPU bladder pressure-tested to well within excess of what they’re typically inflated to at the campsite. This is contained within a protective outer layer that\u2019s zipped all the way up and around the frame for easy replacing (should they ever need). Plus, the nature of the inflatable structure has them popping back into place under pressure or strong winds \u2013 unlike steel or aluminium poles, which would otherwise twist, bend, and snap.<\/p>\n

With multi-point inflation and a Quickpitch guying system, the Santorini FTK TC (available in both a 2×4<\/a> and 4×8<\/a> model) is set up in seconds. Stay protected with mesh panels to keep unwanted insects away, while the polycotton material of this tent reduces condensation and reglates the interior temperature. Bear the bugs and protect from the elements owing to mesh panels, while polycotton reduces both condensation and regulates the interior temperature, and the large, rear ventilation panel provides superior interior comfort too. Plus, the Santorini’s inflatable canopy caters for any outdoor affair from feeding the family to a fun night in with friends.<\/p>\n
