My family of four goes camping often. While we’re used to roughing it in a tent, I have to admit that I’m starting to reconsider the comforts of glamping. Sure, I could rent a fancy yurt or small cabin, but for roughly the same price as a one-night stay, I could own this glamping tent I found on Amazon.
The first thing I love: It’s inflatable! Wrestling with tent poles is my least favorite thing about camping, so I’m already convinced. The tent comes with a heavy-duty, manual air pump, and the brand claims it takes about five minutes to inflate it. (Looking at the port, though, I bet you could use an electric pump if you wanted.) As with any inflatable, securing it to the ground is a must, so all the guy wires and stakes you need are included.
The tent comes in sizes that can accommodate sleeping bags for anywhere from three people up to 14 people, but I like this happy medium meant for eight to 10. You can easily fit two queen-size air mattresses or four twin cots, with room left over for floor pillows, small side tables, or chairs.
There’s an inner curtain that can be used to create two rooms, which is nice if you’re with a group. All of the mesh windows and doors have covers that can be rolled up for ventilation, and there’s even a plastic skylight in the roof for stargazing at night. It has a flap on the side for using a portable AC in the summer, and if glamping in the winter doesn’t faze you, there’s even a ceiling port for installing a wood-burning tent stove.
And that’s just for glamping. I can also see this being used as a backyard hangout spot, outfitted with cozy seating, a rug, and a small coffee table. I bet you could set up a small dinner party here, too. Hang up some pretty lanterns, set up a service station out front, and throw down some cozy pillows for late-summer and early-fall entertaining.
