Finding the best tents for tall people can be challenging and camping trips should be relaxing and fun so if you are taller than the average person, this may not be your experience!
Many tents have a maximum center height of around 5 feet or less. This can be very uncomfortable if you are more than 6 feet tall, requiring you to either crawl around the interior or walk in a stooped position.
So in this guide, I’ve listed five of the best tents for tall people, all with a center height of at least 78 inches. Each has lots of other great features, too, ensuring that your outdoor adventures are every bit as enjoyable as they should be.
Timber Ridge Camping Tent
The Timber Ridge Tent is the perfect tent if you are camping with friends or family, accommodating up to 6 people comfortably. Made with high-quality materials, it is durable and offers excellent value for money.
With a base measuring 10 ft x 10 ft and a center height of 78 inches, it has plenty of room for most people to stand up straight and stretch out at night too.
Also ideal for the taller-than-average person is the O-shaped door, which is easy to get into and out of without crawling!
If a speedy setup when you arrive at the campsite is important to you, you’ll be pleased to hear that this tent uses a ‘quick open’ system.
That means it’s ready to use in just a few minutes – giving you more time to relax. It is just as easy to take down when it’s time to go home!
The tent is very well ventilated and has a mesh window at the top, plus three large, zippered, mesh roll-up windows to keep the air flowing.
A handy side storage bag gives you somewhere safe to keep items like your keys, sunglasses, and more, and the tent comes with a rainfly for protection against the elements.
ALPS Mountaineering Camp Creek 4-Person Tent
ALPS Tent is the best tent for tall people over 6.5 feet, as its center height is an impressive 84 inches. Measuring 7’6 x 8’6 at its base, it has plenty of floor space too.
I particularly like the fact that its side walls are straight. This means that you get a lot more headroom than you would with a standard-sized tent, where the sides often slope sharply downwards from the center.
This tent features a hub design and is very easy to assemble. It comes with pole clips that simply snap over the fiberglass poles, so in less than 10 minutes setup is done and it’s time to relax.
The four large mesh windows, mesh roof, and zippered mesh doors all encourage good airflow, keeping you comfortable and preventing condensation from forming.
In the event of bad weather, you are well protected from the rain by the factory sealed seams and 150D polyester oxford floor with 1500 mm coating. The rainfly is also fully waterproof and adds large awnings over both the back window and the doorway at the front.
Available in two different color combinations, this tent also has handy mesh storage pockets, ideal for keeping your smaller items separate and organized.
Eureka! Copper Canyon LX, 3 Season, Camping Tent
Ideally, a tent for a tall person will offer plenty of room both vertically and horizontally. And that is definitely the case with this 6 person tent from the Copper Canyon LX series!
7 feet high at the center point, it offers a roomy 10ft x 10 ft of floor space – more than enough space to stretch out comfortably and to store your gear.
What’s more, the steep walls help maximize the vertical space so much that this tent is great for cots or air mattresses.
I particularly like the doors at the front and back, which are much larger than with many other tents. These make it very easy to enter and exit without too much stooping!
Highly durable and stable, this model has a steel and fiberglass frame, with pole sleeves corner hubs, and quick clips for speedy assembly. It is so straightforward to assemble that just one person can get it done in next to no time.
There are large mesh windows with waterproof curtains to give you a great view and promote air circulation whilst keeping bugs out. Meanwhile, extended fly coverage over the doorway gives you better protection against bad weather and a dry spot to come in or out.
Extra protection is provided by the bathtub floor that wraps up the sides of the tent, effectively keeping rainwater out.
You get a couple of useful bonuses with this tent, including mesh pockets and an overhead gear hammock, freeing up as much floor space as possible.
You’ll also appreciate the zippered E! Power Port! which allows you to run an electric cable into the tent. This makes it easy to power lights and keep your devices fully charged.
NTK Super Arizona GT Family XL Camping Tent
Camping with a large group is loads of fun – but only if your tent is up to the job! This 12-person tent is ideal, and – with a standing height of 6.9 feet – can easily accommodate the tallest friends or family members.
Exceptionally spacious, this 20.6 ft x 10.2 ft tent offers both comfort and privacy. It has a detachable room divider, along with three windows and two doors.
Obviously, a tent of this size won’t pop up in an instant, but it has been designed to be very quick to assemble, with color-coded poles and a ring/pin system to make things easier.
The walls of this tent are made from an ultra-slim polyester micro-mesh material. Whilst it is very durable, it is designed to let fresh air flow freely, keeping the interior well ventilated.
This is enhanced by the large, covered mesh vents. At the top of the tent is an O-ring to hang your lantern.
There is lots of protection against the rain with this model, including a full-coverage rainfly and bathtub-style floor. Made from long-lasting seamless polyethylene with a silver-coated layer on the inside, it keeps you and your gear dry in even the wettest conditions.
From a company with more than 40 years of experience in making camping gear and a worldwide reputation for good quality, this tent comes with a heavy-duty carrying bag that includes compression straps and an ID label.
Core 10 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent
The straight walls make this one of the best tents for tall people, as they maximize space and allow everyone to move around freely. The tallest model in this guide, the Core Tent has a center height of 86in (7ft 2in) and a generous base area of 14ft X 10ft.
Capable of accommodating 2 queen-size mattresses, this tent comes with a room divider, so you can easily create two rooms if you require extra privacy.
There are large doors at both the front and back, giving easy access without stooping and keeping the interior nicely ventilated.
Additional ventilation is provided by the mesh ceiling and the advanced venting system. This uses adjustable vents that draw in cool air from the ground and expel warm air through the ceiling, creating a cross-flow that keeps things comfortable.
You won’t need to worry about bad weather, either, as there are lots of good features to ensure you stay dry.
These include the thermally heat-sealed water-resistant fabrics and seams, plus seals around the doors and windows. These are designed to ensure that any rainwater runs off – rather than into – your tent.
An electrical access port is provided and the tent comes with a handy polyester carrying bag.
