Having been designing and building family tents for more than 120 years, Wenzel are certainly familiar with what works and what doesn’t. They have a comprehensive range of different tents to suit all sorts of families and vacations.

Their 8 person family tent, the Wenzel Grand Lodge, is truly the Cadillac of all tents. It provides over 160 sq.ft of usable floor space and has a two room layout.

Surprisingly quick and easy to set up this tent has walls that can open up to become a screen room or can be zipped closed for warmth and privacy.

The Wenzel Grand Lodge surely has to be one of the top 8 person family tent available.

If you’re looking for a 3 room family dome tent then consider the Wenzel Sycamore. The 3 rooms of this tent each have separate doors providing excellent access.

Setting up this tent really need 2 people but one of them can be a child over 4. In the main central room you can stand and each of the rooms is large enough for a full size queen air bed so you can divide your party to suit yourselves.

From user reviews, this 3 room family tent seems to be the leader in it’s class.

For a 6 person family tent the Wenzel Mackinac has a lot to offer.

With it’s full height attached screen room there is plenty of bug free space for playing, cooking or just chilling out.

This tent actually takes 2 adults to set up but bearing in mind the benefits it offers, the effort is well worthwhile if this suits your family. You can also zip the screen room up to give a cozy private porch.

Another 6 person family tent would be the Wenzel Cottonwood. This has a 2 room layout as well but no screen room. It’s lighter at only 20lbs and so if you have teenagers you may perhaps split the load between you and trek with this one.
