Bell Tent Size Guide

1 comment

At Boutique Camping we have a range of bell tent models in different tent sizes from 3m tents to 8m tents. To identify which size is best for you and your adventures, take a look at our sizing information down below. 

If there’s a certain bell tent model you love the look of, you can view the detailed specifications and sizes available with our bell tent model guide.

3m Bell Tent

A 3m bell tent is the perfect option for a smaller glamping tent that comfortably fits 1-2 people. This tent size is ideal for short overnight stays or festivals where you’re out and about most of the day and need a cosy and convenient place to rest your head at night.

Our polycotton lite tent in 3m is ideal for offering extra breathability in a limited space.

3m living examples:

  • Two single airbeds can fit into one 3m tent so two people can sleep with additional comfort. 
  • 4 sleeping bags can fit four people if you’re only using a tent for sleeping.
  • 1 person can enjoy the comfort of a 3m bell tent on their own with extra room for supplies like a small stove and pillows to offer some extra luxury.

4m Bell Tent

If you want to take your small family on a weekend away or a group of close friends for a green getaway, a 4m bell tent is the ideal size. With more space than our 3m bell tents, this tent is designed for 4 people to sleep comfortably but is flexible with how many people can fit. With an extensive range of bell tent models available in 4m, you can browse our selection and find the best style for you. 

We’d recommend our 4m bell tent plus for maximal inside room when you’ve got minimal pitching space. This model replaces guy ropes with webbing straps takes up less space and minimises the risk of tripping if you’re tightly packed for things like festival camping.

4m living examples:

  • 2 double inflatable beds can fit inside a 4m tent so couples and kids can share their own beds in comfort.
  •  A double-air bed and 2 single beds can be placed inside for groups to enjoy a more cosy glamping experience. 
  • For larger groups wanting to enjoy a spacious tent without the added luxuries, there is space in a 4m bell tent for a whopping 7-8 sleeping bags!

5m Bell Tent

If you’re in the market for a tent that can hold larger groups for festival fun and big weekends in the wilderness then a 5m bell tent is a great option. These tents are the perfect fit for 5-6 people wanting a comfortable camping experience. It’s also roomy enough to hold larger numbers just for sleeping or a smaller group who wants an extra spacious glamping experience with all of their home comforts. 

5m living examples:

  • Sleeps 3 double airbeds for 6 people to get a cosy night's sleep
  • Room for 4 single and one double air mattress inside so you can choose to have your own private sleeping space or share with friends and family.
  • 10 sleeping bags can easily fit into a 5m bell tent so it's the perfect option if you’ve got a big family! 

6m Bell Tent

Our selection of 6m bell tents is brilliant for large groups on their camping adventures. There is enough room in a 6m bell tent to sleep 8 people in comfort but the size of this tent means you have a lot of room to play around with. You can take a smaller group and have enough room to kit your tent out with all the glamping essentials and gear to give you the ultimate luxury experience. 

The Luna Emporor bell tent is a prime pick for family fun, exclusively designed at 6x4 size to accommodate families and friends with ample room to stretch your legs as well as generous headspace.

6m living examples:

  • 4 double airbeds can fit into a 6m bell tent with room for small bags too.
  • 2x double and 4 x single if you want that little bit of extra space to have your own airbed.
  • If you’re going all in and sharing space at a festival there’s room for 14-15 sleeping bags so you can save time and energy on setting up several tents.

7m Bell Tent

One of our largest bell tent sizes available, our range of 7m bell tents offers a huge amount of space to be utilised in a number of ways. You can fit a large group of around 10 people in this tent and still have additional room for your precious travel packs. 

A multidoor bell tent is ideal for 7m tents as it allows for extra space and accessibility for people to come and go in a busy environment like festivals or camping events without inconveniencing others. 

7m living examples:

  • An impressive 5 double airbeds fit inside a 7m tent so you’ll never find yourself sacrificing between space and comfort!
  • You’ll be able to mix things up with your space in a 7m tent and can choose several single airbeds for 4 double and 2 single mattresses.
  • If you’re lucky enough to get 19 of your friends on the same trip, all 20 of you will be able to fit your sleeping bags in this massive tent.

8m Bell Tent

An 8m tent really is the tent of all tents. The definition of go big or go home. Our selection of 8m bell tents is the biggest out of all our tent sizes with endless opportunities to explore space and can easily accommodate 14 people with ease. The potential doesn’t stop there though, you can make this tent your home away from home, with room for a proper poster bed, sofa, table, chairs and anything else you can think of for a sensation luxury glamping experience. 

The bell tent plus is everything an extravagant, extra large 8m tent should be. With miracle webbing straps allowing you to ditch guy ropes and an extra tall doorway, this tent is everything you need to live large outdoors and is a design exclusive to Boutique Camping. You’ve even got the option to host parties and events, with double doors for maximum headspace and ventilation.

8m living examples:

  • 8 full double airbeds and 4 single beds fit into an 8m bell tent, allowing for stress-free sleep for 14 people.
  • We can’t think of an occasion where you’d be off adventuring with 22 people, but if you are then there’s space for everyone in their sleeping bags with this huge tent!
  • Opt for any amount of people from a single person to a group of 5 and experiment with the huge space available. There’s room for all kinds of furniture, stoves and space for indoor activities too.
