Best 4 Person Camping Tents of 2022: Complete Reviews with Comparisons

1. Our Top Pick: Teton Sports Mountain Ultra 4

One thing about the Teton Sports Mountain Ultra 4 is that it has good insulation and waterproof ratings. This is especially important if you intend to camp anywhere where it’s known to be wet.

Review

The Teton Sports Mountain Ultra 4 is a hexagonal camping tent with sturdy construction and a clever design. The hexagonal base and slanted walls grant this tent a greater level of wind resistance. The tent can easily be folded and weighs less than 10 lbs., making it one of the lighter 4-person tents.

The tent can fit one queen size air mattress or four standard-sized sleeping bags. The length of the base is approximately 51” and the ceiling height is around 55” in the middle.

The walls are made of two layers of 190T polyester, each with PU 2,000 waterproof rating and UV-coated. The walls also feature mesh windows with mosquito nets. There are two zippered D-shaped doors for easy getting in and out. The mesh ceiling has a gear loft beneath it, where a lantern hook is to be found.

This tent is made for a wide range of weather conditions, and it’s equally at home at the beach and on the mountain. However, this isn’t a 4-season tent. You only need to lift the top and the entire tent will set itself up. To take it down, find and press the yellow markers on the poles.

2. ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 4

The ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 4 is a free-standing tent which can be very handy if you need to relocate your tent quickly. You can move it around while fully setup.

Review

Despite the light weight, the ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 4 is a sturdy and durable tent that can take quite a bit of punishment. The fully equipped tent weighs less than 9 lbs.

Given the fact that it’s a 4-person tent, the Lynx 4 has a spacious floor. It is 8’6” wide and 7’6” long and can accommodate four standard sleeping bags. The center height is 4’4”. The interior is equipped with several storage pockets to keep the place tidy and clean. There’s also a gear loft with a lantern hook.

The 75D 185T polyester floor offers decent protection against ground water. The seams are factory sealed for better waterproofing. The polyester walls have mesh windows. Both the windows and the ceiling mesh can be covered with the included UV-coated rain fly.

This tent requires only a couple of minutes to set up. As a free-standing tent, you can move it around fully set up. It’s just as easy to take down.

In terms of seasonality, the Lynx 4 can withstand almost anything. However, if you intend to camp in the winter, you should opt for a proper 4-season tent.

3. Coleman Cabin Instant set up tent

Accommodating four people with a setup time of around 60 seconds, the Coleman Cabin Tent is a convenient option that is ideal for occasions where you have limited time available.

Review

Made using 150D polyester, this tent sports a thick material construction that is going to keep you protected from harsh weather conditions. Deemed to be weatherproof, this tent boasts welded corners and inverted seams which prevent the rain from entering your tent. Courtesy of its steel frame exterior, this tent offers sufficient support and is going to withstand windy weather conditions well.

With a spacious interior, this tent can comfortably accommodate a queen-size airbed and if needed can fit 6 people at once. Equipped with an expandable carry bag, the tent can be packed and transported with ease.

Utilizing darkroom technology, the majority of sunlight is blocked out so you can enjoy a well-deserved rest or lay in without the distraction of strong light.

4. Weanas Professional Backpacking Tent

A high waterproof rating can be a real life-saver if you’re camping in an area with frequent and heavy rainfall. And if waterproof and UV ratings are among your priorities, your search may end with the Weanas Professional Backpacking Tent.

Review

The Weanas Professional Backpacking Tent is made of high-quality materials and has a waterproof rating over 4,000mm. Also, the dual-layer walls offer excellent protection from the wind. The UV-coated outer layer offers sufficient protection from the sun.

The tent features the traditional interior design and can accommodate up to four adult campers. On the inside, it measures 6.9’ (W) x 6.9’ (L) x 4.3’ (H). The rain fly is 9.4’ wide, 7.1’ long, and 4.3’ high. When taken apart and packed, the tent measures 6.3” x 17.3” x 6.3”. The overall weight of the tent is only 6.2 lbs. When folded, it can be attached to a backpack.

The Weanas Professional Backpacking Tent has an inner layer of 210T polyester. This is combined with B3 nylon mesh to make it double-layered. The rain fly is also 210T polyester and PU-coated for waterproofing. Its waterproof rating is 4,000mm. The floor is made of 150D Oxford cloth (150D) with a higher waterproof rating of 5,000mm. By most accounts, 4,000mm is the minimum standard for a fabric to be considered waterproof. (This is measured in the labs meaning the fabric can withstand a 4,000mm 1” diameter column of water for 24 hours without soaking through.)

The 0.355” tent poles are made of 7001 aluminum. They’re lightweight and highly resistant to pressure and wind. As you might expect from the lightweight, this is a 3-season tent. The package also includes one inner tent, one fly sheet, one carrying bag, four ropes, twelve stakes, and two frame poles.

5. Hewolf 4-5-Person Instant Tent

As a rule, camping tents tend to have very little space. That’s mostly due to the slanted walls and low ceilings. You can overcome this problem with vertical walls and a higher ceiling, and the case in point is the Hewolf 4-Person Instant Tent.

Review

The Hewolf 4-Person Inner Tent has a hexagonal base and almost vertical walls. The result is generous floor space and a pretty high ceiling. The length of each side of the base is around 51”, while the diameter is slightly over 97”. The ceiling is 54.3” high compared to the external height of 66.1”.

This tent can accommodate up to 4 standard sleeping bags. Alternatively, you can fit one queen air bed in it. In an emergency, you can fit up to five people in this dome tent.

When it comes to the setup, the Hewolf is an instant tent so it takes only minutes to set it up and take it down. This tent is also easy to pack into the carrying bag.

The Hewolf 4-person instant tent has polyester walls with double layer construction. Both layers are made of 190T polyester and rated at PU 2,000mm waterproof. The outer layer is coated for UV protection as well. The walls are equipped with mesh windows and insect nets.
