Tents: waterproof, festival-proof or family-friendly – ​​a great guide

Tent stress? No worries, we got you! Whether you're heading to a festival, diving into nature with the family or simply looking for a waterproof all-rounder - we've got you covered with the very best options. Compact, spacious, fancy of budget-proof: your perfect tent is definitely among them. So pack your things and go!

The family tent

The family tent

Will all the kids come along? Or do you just need more space? Then the 6.3 XXL tent the ideal solution. Very easy to set up with an (electric) air pump. So threading sticks through the tent is a thing of the past. The inner tents are already in place. Just yuppa plug the pump into the socket, add the camping chair and plug in the plug. Five bows further and four pegs, and the bottle of wine can be opened. Suitable for 8 people. In total with a living space of 12m². Not wrong, right? And are you familiar with the Fresh & Black cloth? Decathlon already? Such a great invention that not only keeps the tent cool (Fresh), but also nice and dark (Black). We could go on and on about the large front opening, but the two side openings also provide optimal ventilation.

The roof tent

The roof tent

The roof tent, in Australia you see it everywhere, and for good reason. It really is a great way to camp and explore the area. Setting up and taking down is a breeze. So you simply fold up the tent and hit the road again. Ideal for a road trip. Need some inspiration? Read our road trip ideas here. It already has a mattress in it, so you just throw in your blanket and pillow from home and you're ready for adventure. This tent is also made of Fresh & Black material, so it does not get that hot.

Have your tent repaired

Have your tent repaired

Buying a new tent? You can always do that. But do you still have one lying around? Then use it! If the tent is no longer what it used to be, just have it repaired! Our friends at Bever can do that. A number of problems that Bever will be happy to help you with: the fabric of the tent lets water through, the tent is dirty, the zipper is broken, the fabric is broken, a part is missing.

They also repair other outdoorsy stuff like winter sports gear, jackets, bags and more.

Here you will find more information about the repair & maintenance service from Bever.

Renting is also possible at Bever. Sustainable on the go, Bever knows what to do. Not only tents, but also sleeping bags, sleeping mats, walking sticks, backpacks and even child carriers - ready for your next adventure!

Or is all your stuff gone? Turn it in and give your tent a second life - maybe as a toiletry bag or slippers. Nice, huh?

The shower tent

The shower tent

Yes, showering at a campsite is indeed something that turns some people off... we understand. It is for this people this inflatable shower tent from Decathlon the perfect solution. One cabin is for showering with compartments for the soap dispensers, while the other remains dry for your towel and other toiletries. Everything you need is included: a mirror for your make-up, a place to hang your towel, even a water bladder for running water and a sink. And you can even unzip the roof for ventilation, a shower in the sun or a nightly cleaning under the stars. Let's go!

But how does that work (I hear you ask)? You inflate the shower tent with an (electric) pump, then this ensures this pressurized solar shower make sure you can shower. Soap and a towel, and you'll be clean again. Here.

And then where to?

And then where to?

We have some nice lists for that of course. Let's start close to home:

Or maybe take a plane for an adventure further afield? These countries are ideal for camping enthusiasts: Australia, New Zealand, or still Canada? Man, man, man, no more stress about the tent – ​​but the big question: where to go?

Or the mountains of Patagonia in? The nature parks in the VS of South Africa are also once in a lifetime experiences. Although we recommend booking a (luxury) safari tent in the latter case – it is already ready for you!

 

And of course: the festival tent

And of course: the festival tent

Well, you won't quickly recognize it among all those other tents during your weekender (Lowlands/Wildeburg/Soena), but at the top is really the Fresh & Black tent from Decathlon. Yeah, the one you just throw up. Why? easy peasy! The pop-up system ensures that it is set up in 2 seconds. Oh and that special material is great. Advantage 1: It stays dark, so you can sleep off your hangover, even when the sun is high in the sky (perfect for those late nights of that one DJ you don't want to miss). Advantage 2: The heat stays outside. Nothing more annoying than waking up in the morning to the burning sun. And the last advantage: budget-proof! For just over 100 euros you are already ready.

Tip: Sleep comfortably with two people in the 3-person tent. Then there is still enough room for your outfits!
