It's the details that make
the difference
Limited doors and windows will make your tent seem airless and dark when you want your accommodation to be airy and light! A good cotton tent will include a kitchen annex - some even have toilets … Will this annex take your camp kitchen? Can the walls be wiped clean and are they fire retardant? Can you stand and cook in comfort or is headroom limited? Do not cook in synthetic tents where the risk of damage to the fabric is high!

Make sure your tent can be easily vented to remove condensation. Further, be very careful if you are cooking in your tent or if you are using anything but electricity for lighting. You can run the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if you do not have adequate ventilation!

Tents that have separate sleeping compartments are very convenient with children. Those tents that feature a hanging screen between bedrooms just do not do enough to isolate the kids. Separate sleeping compartments reduce the chance of being woken at some god-forsaken hour by a Duracell powered monster

Wardrobes may be sold as a feature but are rarely wide enough to be of any real use
