*From Snowys at time of review
Pros 👍
– Sleeps up to 10 people
– 4 Entrances
– Very waterproof
– Fairs well in bad weather
– Spacious
Cons 👎
– The poles and guy ropes could do with upgrading.
– The interior dividing wall does not attach to the floor
This is a fantastic family tent available at an irrefusable price of only $411 from Snowys at the time of writing. If you’re looking for a spacious family tent but don’t want to break the bank then the Instant Up Gold 10P Tent from Coleman is an excellent choice.

Overall, thought, this is an awesome tent for those on a tighter budget.

*From Tentworld at time of review
Pros 👍
– Sleeps up to 10 people

– Easy to set up
Cons 👎
– Nothing!
This is the slightly smaller sister of our winning family tent in this article. This option is a great choice if the 12-person tent is just a little too big. The Oztrail Lumos 10P Fast Frame Tent is equally as easy to set up includes the LED lights and blockout material to reduce sunlight, making it easy to sleep in. The main difference between the 12P and 10P tent is that this tent has 3 separate rooms, instead of 4. Available at a cheaper price than the 12-person tent, this choice might be the best option for those on a slightly smaller budget.
