What Size Bell Tent Do I Need?

Choosing the right size bell tent is key to getting the most out of your camping experience. Whether you’re heading to a festival, planning a garden sleepover, or setting up a glampsite, this guide will help you choose the ideal bell tent size for your needs.

Why Size Matters

Bell tents come in various sizes, and each one serves a slightly different purpose. Choosing a tent that’s too small can leave you cramped, while going too large may add unnecessary cost and setup time.

The good news? All Boho Bell Tents offer standing height in the centre and spacious interiors compared to standard camping tents.

These numbers assume a balance between sleeping space and room for gear. For luxury glamping, fewer people per tent is best.

Quick Tips Based on Use

✔ For family camping – Go for 5m or 6m to allow sleeping room plus space for kit, furniture or children to move around.

✔ For solo use or couples – A 3m or 4m tent offers a cosy, fast setup with enough room to stand and stretch.

✔ For glamping hire or events – Choose 6m or 7m, especially if you’ll be adding beds, rugs, or decor.

✔ For garden use – A 3m or 4m tent fits most lawns and still feels luxurious.

Pack Size & Setup

Larger tents take slightly longer to set up and pack away:

• 3m & 4m: 1 person setup, lightweight

• 5m: 1–2 person setup, best all-rounder

• 6m & 7m: 2+ people recommended, heavier but worth it for space

All our tents come with clear instructions and are designed to be pitched with minimal tools.

Still not sure what size to go for? Think about how you’ll use your tent most often — and remember, a little extra space is always appreciated once you’re set up!
