Best Inflatable Tents For Camping – Air Beam Tents

Here you have the list of best inflatable tents for camping available on the market, all easy setup tools with air beams instead of classic poles. All are described in detail in my separate reviews.

This technology has been around for a number of years already but it is becoming very popular recently. Such air inflatable tents are a bit heavy though they usually pack well, so these are camping tents for places with a motorized access.

My list of best airbeam tents

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

 

So what you will find here

• The most important feature is that these are all air beam tents of course.
• The site is about family camping tents, therefore all the tents here in the list are for 4 people and more.
• One tent is with an extra metal pole, combined with the air beams.
• Some of the tents are 2-room structures, some are with 3 and 4 rooms, and believe it or not, you will find some great examples of 5-room tents.
• Several of the tents here are so-called dark rest tents or “lights out” tents. This means that the sleeping area is darker and with reduced glare, so you can sleep longer in the morning and also take a nap during the day.
• The tents from the dark-room type group are a hybrid single layer and double layer. This implies the following: the living zone is a single-layer area while the sleeping areas are double-layer. This is good because of the condensation issues which are normally more important during the night when you sleep. All Vango tents are of this type.
• Some of the tents are single-layer type.
• You will see also canvas tents here.
• Most of the tents here are designed as 3-season tents. So you definitely have full protection from the rain, their waterproof rating is usually very high.
• These tents are more suitable for a cooler environment. This is because of their design where you do not have mesh on the ceiling so typical for summer camping tents. It is important to know this to avoid any unpleasant experience.
• Several of the tents here in the list are from the Vango brand. This should not be surprising because this is the top brand for such tents, and as far as I know they started this industry.

Final thoughts 

So this was my list of best inflatable tents for camping, and as you realize many of them are really comfortable structures. This is because many of them are designed for areas with lots of rain where people are forced to spend more time in the tent, and for this reason, you have such generously sized living areas. Most of them are with exceptionally high weather resistance, so these shelter will surely keep you dry.

This is an attractive design in general, air beams are easy to inflate, and you can really set them up in a few minutes, there is nothing to guess, no color-coded poles and flies. So I believe this concept will only be gaining popularity.

You might want to check my separate list with inflatable canvas tents. Thank you for reading. I wonder what you think about this innovative technology, please use the comment box below. Have a nice day.
