Thread: Family camping tent recommendation

Hey team

We have been using a Kathmandhu 360 tent for the last 10 years. It finally gave up the ghost last summer and we are in the market for another tent for the family.
We were pretty impressed to make 10 seasons in the 360 tbh, but just wondering what else people have used/are using.
We dont need as much space now as the oldest is in her own tent now, would just be myself and my wife with hour two younger kids. The middle one will be in her own tent in a couple of years, so we probably dont need another big tent. We also have the separate kathmandhu compass for those rainy days and cooking etc, so the tent is mostly for sleeping. Separate room to give us some space from the kids instead of one big room would be ideal.

We do have access to the friends and family voucher for kathmandhu, and am leaning towards a retreat 280 for $630. As always in todays climate cost pays a part

Cheers

We had the same Kathmandu set up as you with the compass. Good big rig but it Was a pain in the balls to set up. We got an inflatable nylon tent on special from torpedo 7. Had it for 3 years no and it's been really good for the money. We have friends that have the zempire inflatable canvas tents and they are awesome but ....not 5k+ awesome. Inflatable tents are great for family camping . Unbelievably fast to put up. Have a look, I'll never go back.

we still have a big two room kiwi camping canvas tent but wife has gone to a colemans easy up tent. Easy to put up and a dark tent in side, water proof. she has had it for about four years now with no faults.

come and see me..we have a practically new colman two room jobbie here you can have for a lot less than your new price...they $500 new...Mrs says $350

Look at great outdoors on trade or market place they are bomb proof as long as they have been looked after just re waterproof and they will last for years.
Ours was over 20 years old when I sold it and still going strong.
