Large-capacity designs built to give multiple campers lots of room to sleep and lounge around in, cabin tents give larger groups space for themselves and their gear. Offering the room to house families or large groups for multiple days at the campsite, these spacious tents offer taller ceiling heights than other styles of tents for more comfortable navigating inside the tent.

Often employing a large square or rectangular shape, cabin tents often feature a vertical wall design to increase living space inside the tent and deliver taller ceiling heights that make it easier to walk around inside the tent. This vertical wall design also makes it easier to stow gear inside the tent, and use cots and bunkable cot designs for sleeping.

Many cabin tent designs offer multiple rooms with built-in or removable room dividers to allow for greater privacy, allowing families or groups to create a sleeping space and "living area" in the same tent. Some cabin tents add a screened-in porch or living space on the end for even more protected living space for campers to enjoy. No other tent design matches a cabin tent for overall interior space or interior "living space" at the campsite.

Too big for any backpacking adventure, cabin tents are best used on car camping excursions where your vehicle can back up near the tent site.

Big, roomy, and comfortable, a cabin tent makes a great choice for enjoying the outdoors for several days with a larger group of friends or family.
