Best Tunnel Tents For Camping

Here you have a list of the best tunnel tents for camping currently available on the market. Many of them are with an impressive waterproof rating and all are suitable for 3-season use.

---

If you follow the developments in the tents industry you will notice that most of the tunnel type tents on Amazon come from the European brands. They also share some common features which include PVC windows, the absence of mesh on the ceiling, multiple rooms, impressive waterproof rating, etc.

This is partly due to climate, so they are built as enclosed structures that keep the warmth and prevent too much draft. Not every tunnel type tent is suitable for a very warm environment, in fact the majority of the models here in the list are better suited for a cooler and wet area.

Tunnel tents are rarely freestanding, this is due to their design (but you will see some great exceptions below in the list). You always have many guylines to stake them to the ground. So bear this in mind when you plan your camping spots.

Note also that most of those presented here belong to what is called dark rest or lights out tents (some call them also blackout tents). This means that the sleeping area is darker, the daylight is reduced and you can sleep longer in the morning.

• Tents with classic poles.
• Some of them have both classic poles and inflatable beams.
• 2-room tents.
