Final thoughts

So this was my list of camping tents for 4 people, and I hope you realize how impressive and unique these tents are. The list will be updated whenever I find an official 4-person tent worth adding here. So bookmark this post and visit occasionally.

Now, how to choose?

You have noticed that there are big differences in the weight of these tents. This is because of the fabric and the poles. The heaviest are those where you have a combination of canvas or polycotton and steel poles. The lightest are those with aluminum poles and with synthetic fabric. But they are all heavy, and this is normal when you see their floor area, those huge porches, and also their peak heights.

There are also huge differences in prices. Canvas tents are always expensive, but they are worth the money. Nevertheless, if you cannot afford something like this, you have some truly great options here. Those tents from Coleman are usually incredibly affordable.
