My list of best 10 person family camping tents

The tents in the list are ordered by the floor area from the largest to the smallest.

 

The list includes the following types:

• Extended dome tents.
• There is the double-layer type with a full-coverage rain fly.
• Many of the tents are typical summer camping cabin-type tents. More about cabin tents you can read in my separate text.
• There are true 3-season tents.
• There are also examples of true winter tents.
• Some of the tents are freestanding and others are not. But all of them are very tall tents and I would not use any without staking them to the ground.
• Several tents in the list are instant-type, very suitable for groups and families on cross-country tours. About instant cabin tents, you can read more here.

Are they really for 10 people?

The answer is yes and no. There is no doubt that all of them can accommodate the prescribed number of 10 users sleeping in the floor. But only a few of them have extra space for gear, so I would downgrade them all (even the largest ones in the group) for some 3 – 6 people.

1. Dream House 10 Person Cotton Canvas Tent

This Dream House Large Spacious Outdoor Waterproof Cotton Canvas 4 Season Camping Tent is so high here in the list because it offers an area of 215.2 ft² (20 m²). So in view of the declared 10-person capacity, this is a true camping castle. It is added to my list of extra large tents.

This is also a pleasant and breathable cotton canvas tent and with a great waterproof rating. I have included it in my list of best canvas tents.

The tent is 3 meters high and this is why I have added it to my list of extra tall. Note that this is a single-pole structure and you have one room only. The tent is with 2 doors and 4 windows. The weight is 99 lb (45 kg).

2. CORE 10 Person Instant Cabin Tent With Screen Room

This Core 10 tent has many great features and some of them you see already in its name. So this is a 10-person tent that provides around 203 ft² (18.9 m²) of the floor area in its two rooms and the screen room which you see in the picture. This is a cabin type and it is also an instant setup tent with an official setup time of 2 minutes.

You have 4 large windows with mesh and with panels, and two large doors with the same structure. The screen room is without panels so it is not fully protected from the rain.

This is a very tall and pleasant summer camping tent with lots of mesh around and the ceiling is completely meshed, so you have a great ventilation and the tent is most suitable for a warmer climate. Please read more in my full review.

Note that they also have a version with integrated light, the CORE Lighted 10 Person Instant Cabin Tent with Screen Room.

 3. NTK LARAMI GT Tent

This Larami GT tent offers 180 ft² (16.2 m²) of the fully covered area which can be divided into three separate rooms. So this is a very large and tall structure with a 210 cm peak height.

The tent is extended dome type with fiberglass poles that create the central dome and two side extensions. As you realize from the picture, the fly is almost full coverage type, only the area around the door is without the fly. But the door is waterproof so the tent offers full protection.

The door is designed with the mesh window so you can still have some view around with such a massive fly. The waterproof rating is great 2500 mm and the floor is a thick polyethylene.

---

4. Mountain Hardwear Stronghold 10 Person Tent

This Stronghold tent is an example of a tent for extreme conditions. So what you have here is an incredibly strong structure supported with 15 DAC poles with tens of intersections which makes it stable against the winds and the snow.

This is a floorless design but an optional floor can be ordered separately. The structure is fully freestanding and this is a double-layer design with a full coverage fly.

The tent offers an area of 171 ft² (15.9 m²) and it is rather heavy because of so many poles, it weighs 48 lb 12 oz (22.06 kg). This is also an expensive tent and this should not be surprising in view of its features and craftsmanship. Please follow the link for more.

---

5. Mountain Trails Grand Pass 10 Tent

The Mountain Trails Grand Pass 10 is a dome-shaped tent with extended sections on both sides. So the setup is relatively easy and the tent is a lightweight structure with only 21.1 lb (9.57 kg). This is a summer-tent, and I would not use it in an environment with a lot of rain.

The tent is not freestanding, so bear this in mind when you plan your camping place, you need a ground which will keep the stakes.

The poles are fiberglass and you have them 7 here, all shock-corded, so you will not lose the parts. The two main long poles create the X-shaped central dome.

The tent is with 2 doors and with a cavernous design with windows and extended dome sections. The fly is minimal and it only covers the meshed ceiling.

6. White Duck Outdoors Alpha Wall Tent 12 x 14

This tent is with a declared capacity of 10 people and its area is 168 ft² (15.6 m²). Here you have a strong aluminum frame-type tent and the meaning of this term is that the frame is set up completely separately and then you put the tent on. Note also that it comes with a ready Stove Jack and you can use a stove for wood heating.

This is a true 4-season tent and it performs equally well in warm conditions as well as in cold weather situations. You have a fully breathable cotton fabric but the waterproof rating is rather modest 450 mm. The tent is a single room structure with a removable floor.

Its weight is huge, 172 lb (78 kg) and it comes in two separate bags that are 45 x 14 x 14 inches (114 x 36 x 36 cm) and 49 x 14 x 10 inches (124 x 36 x 25 cm). Please read more in my full review.

7. Slumberjack Riverbend 10-Person

This is an incredibly affordable extended dome type tent with the area organized into three rooms. The tent is with an interesting fly that offers a large vestibule and star gazing configurations.

It is supported by fiberglass poles and the fabric is with a 1200 mm waterproof rating. Note that there are three doors here, so I have included it also in my list of tents with 3 doors. The weight is 26.4 lb (12 kg), and the inner area is 160 ft² (14.9 m²).

---

8. Wenzel Great Basin 10 Person Tent

This Wenzel Great Basin tent has been on the market for many years already. So this is a very affordable extended dome type structure with fiberglass poles and with a partial coverage fly. The declared capacity is 10 people and this is why it is in the list here. The area is 159 ft² (14.8 m²).

The tent has a single door visible in the picture above and it has windows on all sides. The windows are with mesh and with zippered panels. It comes with an e-cable port, Light Reflection System, and a gear loft is also included. You have removable dividers so the tent is formally a 3-room structure.

This tent is best suited for summer camping, the ceiling is all mesh which is good for a warm climate. The packed size is 27 x 10.75 x 10.75 inches (69 x 27 x 27 cm), and it weighs 28 lb 2 oz (12.8 kg).

---

9. Zempire Pronto 10 Tent

This is a 2-room and very tall structure with the peak height of 92.5 inches (235 cm). This is why it is also in my list of very tall family camping tents.

The tent is supported with inflatable air beams with a single inflation point. You have a huge waterproof rating for full protection and the tent is nicely ventilated. It is very easy to use and reliable.

It weighs 56 lb 6.4 oz (25.6 kg), and the floor area is 156 ft² (14.5 m²). But it has two vestibules that add 59.2 ft² (5.5 m²).

---

10. Coleman Skylodge 10-Person Instant Camping Tent With Screen Room

This tent offers a floored area of around 155 ft² (14.4 m²), and the space is organized into two rooms. The front room is with removable panels on its three sides, so it doubles also as a screen room. This is why I have included it in my list of best tents with a screen room.

From the name you realize that this is also a sort of an instant tent. Namely, most of the frame is pre-attached, only the front room has a support loop that you add separately.

This is a tall structure, you have a 6.6 ft (201 cm) peak height, and it is nicely ventilated. The frame is a combination of steel used for legs poles and fiberglass used for the roof. The fabric is a polyester with their WeatherTec System with inverted seams. 

The weight is 44.27 lb (20.1 kg).

---

11. Wenzel Pinyon 10 Person Modified Dome Tent

This Wenzel Pinyon 10 Person Modified Dome Tent is a 2-room extended dome structure, with 2 doors and 4 windows, and with an interesting fly that includes zippers so you can open it for stargazing and ventilation.

It comes with an E-cable port, and it is very affordable. The tent weighs only 23.1 lb (10.5 kg) and the total inner area is 155 ft² (14.4 m²), so you realize it is almost the same size as the Great Basin tent from the same brand shown above.

---

12. ALPHA CAMP 10-12 Person Tent with Screen Room

This tent is relatively low in the list here and the tents are ordered by the floor area. And from the name, you realize that the declared capacity is 10 – 12 people. So the tent offers a total area of 214 ft² (19.9 m²), but the inner area is 144 ft² (13.4 m²) and this is not so much for such a number of users. The tent is with a large screen room and this is what adds to the area mentioned here. This is why I have added it in my list of extra large tents.

But this is a very pleasant and tall 3-room structure, so you have an inner tent with a divider and you have two sleeping zones, while the front is with a screen room. The screen room is without floor and without panels, just a mesh as protection from flying insects, and it is covered from above so you can sit in the shade and also use it for cooking.

This is a framed tent, and the meaning is that you set up the frame separately, and it is fully freestanding. After that you attach the tent to it. But the screen room has its own frame, so you have two loops and it looks like a tunnel tent from this side. This all results in a huge weight, so the tent weighs 61 lb (27.7 kg). Please follow the link for more details.

13. Coleman Skydome Camping Tent with Dark Room Technology 10 Person

Here you have currently the largest tent from the dark rest Skydome series. It blocks up to 90% of the daylight. This is a 10 person extended dome type tent equipped with two floor vents and plenty of mesh on the ceiling for excellent ventilation. 

There are two large oval doors on the opposite sides, and the fly is with a high waterproof rating. The weight is 27.7 lb (12.56 kg) and the floor area is around 144.2 ft² (13.4 m²).

---

14. Ozark Trail 16′ x 9′ Modified Dome Tunnel Tent

I have decided to show this tent without the fly so that you can see its interesting structure which explains its name. So this is a hybrid design with one part which is a dome (it is on the right in the picture), and the other part on the left which is a tunnel section. The structure is freestanding due to the ridge pole which creates tension in the fabric.

The tent is with two doors, one on each narrow side, and several mesh windows. This is a single-room construction. The area is 144 ft² (13.4 m²) and the weight is 30.87 lb (14 kg). You will love to know that this is an exceptionally affordable tent. Please follow the link for more.

---

15. UNP Camping Tent 10-Person

This UNP Camping Tent 10-Person is an extended dome tent with 2 rooms. I see it best suited for summer camping, it is tall, with 2 doors and 5 windows, and with a great price tag.

The poles are fiberglass, you have an E-cable port, a gear loft, and a few small wall pockets. The tent weighs 23.1 lb (10.5 kg) and its area is around 142 ft² (13.2 m²).

---

16. Coleman WeatherMaster 10 Person tent

The Coleman WeatherMaster 10 is a summertime cabin-style camping tent. This means it is rather tall, with steep walls, and with a minimal rain fly that covers the ceiling only.

The tent is a nicely built and very livable structure, so you have two doors on the opposite sides and one is the hinged door. The doors are with mesh windows which you can keep partly open even when it is raining because of small awnings above the doors. But you also have several separate meshed windows, and two of them are angled and positioned under the fly, so they can stay open all the time.

You also have ventilation openings close to the floor, and this combined with the ceiling which is completely a mesh will allow for good air circulation, so ventilation should not be an issue with this tent.

The official weather resistance for this tent is only 450 mm due to its PU coating. This may not look much, but this will be completely enough for a normal summertime camping. Note that the floor is a bathtub-style design.

So much mesh on the ceiling and large windows suggest that this tent is not the best option for a cold environment, so use it for summer camping and you will enjoy it.

To set up this tent, it is best to do it with a partner, and this is doable in less than half an hour. Everything is color-coded and this makes the procedure so easy. The weight is 31 lb (14.1 kg) and the floor area is 140 ft² (13 m²).

---

17. Columbia Mammoth Creek 10 Person Cabin Tent

This Columbia Mammoth Creek 10 Person Cabin Tent is a 2-room freestanding construction with 2 doors. It has 4 separate windows plus 3 more on the doors. This is a nicely-ventilated tent, suitable for summer and warm weather camping.

---

I have included it also in my list of best lighted tents.

This is an instant setup tent with an official 2-minutes setup, and I have included it in my list of best instant tents for camping. The tent is tall and pleasant with its 7 large windows and 2 rooms. It is nicely ventilated and you have many storage elements and an E-cable port. The weight is 47.8 lb (21.7 kg).

---

19. CORE 10 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent 14 x 10

The CORE 10 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent is what its name suggests, a very pleasant cabin-style tent in the best sense, with a very high ceiling reaching 7 ft (218 cm) at the center.

The structure is very stable and freestanding, with 6 steel poles of 16 mm diameter, and 6 fiberglass 12.5 mm roof poles. Note that the stakes are included.

The tent is for summer camping and I would not put it on very harsh tests, such a tall structure with a minimal fly is for mild weather conditions. Though they claim that the tent will keep you dry and comfortable due to their Core H20 Block Technology.

All the windows and doors feature zippered panels for rain protection and for privacy. You have a gear loft with a lantern hook and several organizer pockets included, all very useful for keeping small gear off the floor.

The tent is with a useful venting system that includes vents close to the door so that cool air from the ground can circulate in combination with the mesh ceiling which allows for hot air to escape. Please read more in my full review.

20. CORE Instant Cabin Tent 10 Person Performance

This CORE Instant Cabin Tent 10 Person is formally here because of its official 10-person capacity. But this is a nicely designed tent from their Performance series where it is the largest one. All are built in the cabin style. This is an instant setup design, so it is naturally very easy to use.

The tent is pleasant with its numerous windows. There are two doors and two rooms with a real divider between them. Note also that it is with vents. But its most distinctive feature is that overhanging fly that partly protects the doors and windows.

The weight is substantial, it weighs 41 lb (18.6 kg), but you realize this is similar to the other 10-person tents of this brand. The area is 140 ft² (13 m²) so it is not particularly large for 10 people. The height is very good, you heave 78 inches (198 cm) peak height here.

---

21. CORE Large Multi Room Tent for Family with Full Rainfly 10 Person

As you realize from the picture, this is a cabin type shelter, and its full coverage fly makes it so different from other tents of this shape. The fly even creates a vestibule in front of one of its two doors. So you have a full protection from the elements, and this is a true 3-season tent. 

It has a divider so you can have two rooms, and it also has multiple large windows with mesh and zippered panels. But note also that the fly has zippered flaps that you can roll up when the sky is clear.

As the name of this tent tells you, its official capacity is 10 people. For this you have a structure with the overall dimensions of 14 x 10 ft (427 x 305 cm), so the area is 140 ft² (13 m²).

This Outdoor Products 10 Person Instant Cabin Tent is a fully freestanding 2-room structure. It is in such a position in the list here because of its relatively small inner area of 140 ft² (13 m²), but you realize that many of these 10-person tents have the same inner area.

---

26. Ozark Trail 10 Person 2 Room Straight Wall Family Cabin Tent

This Ozark Trail 10 Person Tent is what its name says, officially declared for 10 people. The area is 140 ft² (13 m²), so it is a bit small for such a number and it is best to disregard the declared capacity.

But this is a pleasant freestanding and very tall structure, and I have included it in my list of very tall tents. The peak height is 86 inches (218 cm). It comes with a removable divider inside so you can create a 2-room structure for some privacy.

There is only one door visible in the picture above, but you have 6 large windows on all the sides, so you have views everywhere around. It also comes with an E-cable port and a great price tag as well.

---

27. Ozark Trail Instant Cabin Tent with Built-in Cabin Lights

---

29. Tahoe Gear Olympia 10-Person 3-Season Family Camping Tent

This Tahoe Gear Olympia 10-Person 3-Season Family Camping Tent is a bit unique extended dome single room structure, and this is because of its floor plan. The tent is slightly extended on the back so this is not a square structure as you might think based on the picture above.

The tent comes with 3 windows, an E-cable port, floor vents, fiberglass poles, and a minimal coverage fly which protects the ceiling and gives you unobstructed views around through its windows. Above all, it comes with a great price tag.

How to choose

As you see the list is very long, so it may be difficult to choose. Here are a few tips that might guide you.

Protection: If you need a tent in an environment with lots of rain, go for construction with a large fly, or full-coverage if possible. The same holds if this is about a windy environment, in such a case also go for a lower and aerodynamic structure.

Setup time: There are instant tents here and those are perfect if you change the place frequently. Some of the tents are framed structures, so this is not a type you would want if you are moving from place to place.

Capacity: All of them are with the same declared capacity and they can accommodate 10 people. This means you can put 10 sleeping pads on the floor. However, there are big differences regarding the comfort/space they offer. So it is best to check the actual size before you decide.

Extra features: I would stress here the following:

• Dark-rest design. This is indeed nice to have because it allows you to sleep longer in the morning and also to take a nap during the day.
• Awning configuration: Such a feature extends the inner space, so you have a pleasant area to sit under the shade.
• Screen rooms: There are different designs regarding the level of protection. In any case, they offer at least a shade and protection from flying insects.

Purpose: This is related to the protection mentioned above. Most of the tents here are for summer camping or 2-season camping. But there are a few that are for 3 seasons and for all seasons. This depends on the construction and the materials used. This also determines the price, so the difference can be drastic.
