Best Inflatable Tents Reviews UK

Inflatable tents are one of the newest innovations in the camping world, becoming an increasingly popular option for many campers. The reason for this is mainly down to convenience, as inflatable tents are some of the easiest to carry and setup.

Also known as a blow-up tent, inflatable tents are virtually indistinguishable from a normal tent, sporting the same appearance and features. However, the one key difference that makes it so popular is the lack of poles.

Rather than relying on metal poles to support the structure of the tent, inflatable tents feature tubes that are filled with air. They become rigid when inflated, offering the same support as poles, collapsing completely when deflated.

This allows them to be much lighter than tents that use poles, not to mention being much easier to set up. The tent simply gets unrolled, pumped up and then tied down. It takes a matter of minutes to setup, making it especially great for large, family-size tents that can take an age to get up.
