Frequently Asked Questions
What size tent do I need for a family of four?
A 4-person tent is the minimum but will feel cramped with kids and kit. A 5–6 person tent with a separate bedroom pod is much more comfortable, giving parents space when children sleep. Look for tents with a porch for wet kit storage.
What sleeping bag do children need for UK camping?
Children need a child-sized sleeping bag — adult bags are too long and lose heat at the bottom. A 3-season rating (comfort to around 2°C) works for most UK summer camping. Very young children may need an extra blanket.
How do you keep kids entertained when it rains at a campsite?
Pack card games, colouring books, and a few small toys specifically for tent time. Many campsites have activity rooms or communal areas. Embrace puddle jumping rather than fighting it — the right waterproofs make rain an activity, not a disaster.
