Looking for the best 3 room tents around for you and your family or friends? In this guide, I share recommendations for my favorite multiple-room tents, plus some tips on the features to look for when making your decision.
What To Look For When Buying A 3 Room Tent
When searching through all the 3-room tents available, you need to keep in mind things like, how fast it will be to put it together, whether it’s waterproof, what’s the ventilation like, etc. Here are some tent buying tips!
Assembly Time
Modern tents are a lot easier to put up than they used to be, but there is still some variation from one model to another.
If you want a 3 room camping tent that can be assembled in mere minutes, then the best option would be to look for an instant tent.
These usually have pre-attached poles that either pop – or can be extended into – place. They are almost foolproof to set up and give you more time to get started on your outdoor adventure.
None of the large multi room tents in this guide take longer than 30 minutes to assemble.
Waterproofing
If the weather isn’t kind during your camping trip, you will want to be confident that your tent won’t let in water.
Look for features like taped seams – which prevent leaks – and check the specifications to find out the level of rainfall your chosen 3 room camping tent is equipped to cope with.
Ventilation
A well-ventilated tent is key to a good night’s sleep, so it is important to check that any 3 room tents for camping that you consider will let enough air in.
A mesh roof is ideal for this – it will keep out bugs whilst simultaneously giving you a view of the stars at night.
However, if it rains, you may need to cover the roof with the rainfly, in which case you will want your tent to have multiple mesh windows to keep you cool. Some tents even include additional ground vents for optimum comfort.
The Comforts Of Home
The best 3 room tent will have those extra little features that make your trip that bit more comfortable. Extra storage is always handy, so check to see if there are at least pockets in which to store smaller items.
A gear loft or hammock is even better, as it makes it possible to keep everything off the ground and increases your living space.
Of course, you can always buy a separate portable hammock, and don’t forget to get a sleeping bag that fits in a hammock too!
An E-port is also very useful. This allows you to run electrical cables into your tent to power things like a heater or air conditioner.
Running cables through the doorway can create a trip hazard – an E-port keeps them safely out of everyone’s way.

Six windows and a mesh roof not only give you great panoramic views, but they also keep the tent well ventilated and comfortable at all times.
