If you’re looking for a 14-person camping tent with a shared space, this tent from Ozark will feel like home. Ozark designed the tent in the shape of a plus-sign, and it takes up a massive 20 by 20-foot plot.

A common area in the center of the shape is surrounded on all four sides by separate rooms, each with their own entrance. These rooms also have two windows each, for improved visibility and ventilation.

There is, however, a minor flaw to this layout. It means you have to go through one of the sleeping areas from the shared area in the middle to get outside. One way to get around this issue is to use three of the rooms and keep the double-doored room as a spacious entryway.

Other features that get this tent to the top of our list include mesh storage pockets in each room, an E-port for easy extension cord access, and a media pocket, gear loft, and two gear hammocks.

You might think a tent of this size would take a lot of putting up, but the consensus is that it takes two people just 20 minutes. This might be because the pole elbows come pre-attached, so there’s no hunting around for various parts.

To provide stability during windy conditions, guy ropes act as additional stake down points. That being said, a few customers have mentioned that this tent isn’t overly stable during bad weather.

From the outside, this group tent from Tahoe Gear doesn’t look like it’ll fit 14 people. The floor space is smaller than the tent we’ve placed at number one, but the dimensions of 20 by 17 feet still allow ample room for up to 14 persons. There are only three rooms, but each has its own window.

The design of the tent is a T-shape, with two rooms either side of the double-door entrance and one extra room opposite.

This is another tent that’s quick to set up thanks to the easy-assemble shock cord poles. A factory-sealed rainfly has to be added over the top for additional waterproofing.

Tents made from polyester are great for both warm or cool weather. There’s no reason to restrict your outings to just a few short months of the year with this material.

If your group is comprised mainly of adults, you’re bound to appreciate the extra headroom in the center of the tent. The 6-foot center height means that most adults can enter the tent without stooping.

There are a few extra features that come with this 14-person camping tent, notably a welcome mat where the group can leave their soiled shoes, interior mesh pockets for valuables, windows that zip shut, and power slip.

You can say a lot of good things about this tent from Tahoe Gear. Like the Tahoe Manitoba, it’s well-made and reasonably priced, but there’s even more. If you want the best 14-person tent on a budget, you can’t go far wrong with this one.

The design has three inner rooms that lead off the front entrance and screen room, and each has its own door to the screen room and the central space. The central space doubles-up as a living room and has a very generous height of around 94 inches.

The screen room at the front is also around 94 inches, but unfortunately, there are no panels to this area, apart from a fly.

Construction materials include polyester with taped seams to keep the weather at bay. The vertical poles are made using powder-coated steel, and the roof poles are shock-corded fiberglass. Not only will this make the tent last longer, but the corded poles make assembly much quicker.

What knocked this tent from the top of the list is that it’s very complicated to put up. The assembly instructions aren’t very informative, and many of the poles aren’t clearly marked. All that aside, once you’ve put it up a couple of times, it gets much easier.

Additional features include a tent trolley carry bag, power slip near the door, large zip windows, and solar shield to reflect sunlight and keep the tent cool.

This is the best 14-person tent from Fortunershop. It’s made in onto our list thanks to the cool and funky design. Four doors provide a separate entry and exit to each room, and there are 12 windows for excellent visibility.

The taped seams provide excellent protection from the wet weather. You won’t have to worry about waking up in a damp sleeping bag or your gear getting wet.

The floor size is more than ample for 14 people, coming in at 20 by 20 feet. The center height is 78 inches, which means adults don’t have to spend all day crouching down. The central area also has a mesh room so you can enjoy your evenings together gazing at the stars.

Up to five queen air mattresses can fit comfortably into the three rooms, but you can also use it as one big room by tying back the dividers.

For easy access to an extension cord, there’s an E-port. Each room contains two pockets, so you can keep your possessions safe. There’s also a handy drinks holder.

If it’s a reasonably priced tent you’re looking for, then the Spring Lodge Cabin tent fits the bill. When it comes to budget tents, it’s surprisingly spacious. There might only be two rooms, but there’s the option of turning the screen room into an additional sleeping area.

For superior weather protection, the rainfly is seam-taped, but you can also roll it back to keep cool on hot summer nights.

One nice addition that seems to be a common feature with Ozark tents is the mud mat. There’s nothing worse than having nowhere to put your muddy shoes before heading indoors for the night.

The cabins each have divider curtains for privacy and multiple pockets for storage. To allow for extra room, there are two separate storage closets. This means you don’t have to clog up the sleeping areas with your larger gear.

Additional features include a slot to support the majority of electronic devices and a port to fit a power cable into the tent.

NTK’s Super Arizona GT tent is perfect for families or couples who travel together. It offers spacious accommodation where up to 12 people can fit effortlessly.

When you first walk into the tent, you’ll notice how roomy it feels. You get 6.9 feet of headroom, two doors and three windows to bring in some natural light.

NTK included a detachable room divider. Attaching this inside the tent instantly creates two separate quarters for privacy. Around the tent’s interior are spacious utility pockets and a loft for gear storage, adding to this tent’s utility.

The tent is durable, too — NTK made sure it would protect from rain and sun. Covering it, you’ll have a rainfly composed of a double layer of polyurethane laminated polyester and a water column. This combination makes it fully waterproof and UV-resistant.

The interior consists of a layer of ultra-thin polyester no-see-um material — a special insect net preventing even the smallest creepers from entering.

For the frame, there are fiberglass rods, and to make the set up easy, you’ll have an aluminum pin-and-ring system. Lastly, the floor is a heavy-duty, anti-fungus polyethylene that works to keep water and moisture out.

The Tahoe Gear Prescott is a three-season tent, measuring 20 feet by 10 feet. If you’re taking the whole family on a trip, this tent is it.

On the inside, you have a spacious 200 square feet surface where up to 12 people can sleep comfortably. To maximize your sleeping space, Tahoe Gear recommends that you place all the sleeping bags at the center — you’ll then have room in the front and back for gear.

It’s an oval-shaped tent, so you don’t get the roomy L-shape, but the high ceiling makes up for that. At the tallest point, the roof reaches 6.5 feet, allowing almost anyone to stand up straight. Once erected, on all sides are large windows, bringing in natural light.

For the body and rainfly, Tahoe Gear used sturdy 190T polyester and a 1,200mm coating to make it rain and UV-resistant.

The setup is straightforward with shock-corded fiberglass poles.

If you’d like luxury while away camping, have a look at this tent by Tahoe Gear. It’s a weather-resistant tent, complete with a few surprises. We particularly like the panoramic view with windows all around, even on the roof.

Spacious is a generous word for this Tahoe Gear tent. You’ve got 7 feet of head clearance in most locations. The walls are tall, allowing you to move about freely without bumping your head or rubbing shoulders with others.

The body consists of a durable 1,200mm polyester fly, finished with fly seams. It protects you from both hot and cool weather. On top of the fly, the solar shield deflects sunlight, preserving a cool temperature inside. In addition, the polyethylene binding floor provides a water-resistant surface, keeping you and your gear safe.

If it should get windy, like on one of our most recent trips when we nearly blew away, you can secure the fly with heavy-duty ropes, which are secured from the inside.

Included in the bundle are thorough instructions as well as a carry bag.

If you’re searching for a tent that feels more open and spacious, Core has a fantastic example here. The 12-person straight wall tent gives you a roomy floor space of 16 feet by 11 feet with a 7.1 feet ceiling. You can easily fit four queen-sized air mattresses or several sleeping bags in there.

Core offers you two entrances — T and D — one at the front and the other in the back. This comes in handy when you pull up the space divider, as it gives each room more privacy.

When you remove the rainfly, you’re opening up a mesh ceiling, giving you a large sky window. This, along with the side windows, gives you a panoramic view of the surroundings.

Still, if the weather should get worse, the rainfly features H2O Block Technology, keeping you dry inside. On the warm days, however, the advanced ventilation system will draw in cool air from the ground. When it’s colder, close the vents to preserve the heat inside.

The exterior consists of 86D polyester with a 115 gsm polyethylene floor. The tent comes with 22 stakes to keep it grounded.

For summer campers, we suggest you have a look at this 12 people tent from Core. With a removable rainfly, you can enjoy a panoramic view, perfect for stargazing on a warm summer’s day.

To help you get through the hot summer, Core included an advanced ventilation system. This consists of vents near the floor that draw in cool air while pressing the heat out through the mesh ceiling. Don’t worry; when the weather is cold, you can close the vents, preserving the warm air inside.

For those who have less experience with tents, you’ll love the next feature. Core made sure the tent is effortless to set up — it comes with a special ten-leg pole design. The poles are pre-attached, so all you do is lift the tent, extend the legs and it clicks into place.

The interior of the tent is roomy. You’ll have a 6.7 by 10 by 18 feet floor plan where 12 adults can sleep comfortably. In the middle, you can zip up the room divider, giving you two private areas, each with their own entrance.

Core also made sure that no water seeps in by heat sealing the seams from top to bottom.

If you’re heading out with friends and are looking to preserve your privacy, we highly recommend the Copper Canyon. Eureka has your privacy in mind by including two rooms in this 12-people tent.

Included in the bundle is a detachable divider curtain that transforms the Copper Canyon into a two-room tent. The interior feels spacious with almost vertical walls, so there’s plenty of room for cots or airbeds. In all, you’ve got 7 x 12 x 14 feet of space, so it isn’t the largest tent in this feature, but it’s still spacious.

A remarkable feature is the E! Power Port, which allows you to bring an electrical power cord into the tent. You can use it to charge your phone or lights. This combines well with multiple storage options with pockets and gear lofts.

Another aspect that we appreciate is the six large windows. These provide a 360-degree view as well as natural cross-tent airflow. When you need privacy, you can zipper them closed.

The Copper Canyon tent is easy to set up. It features a clip, pole sleeve and a ring/pin assembly that’s straightforward, even for a tent novice. The only issue we’d like to mention is that it’s not 100 percent waterproof.

For campers who don’t have hours to set up their camp, we found this 12-people tent from Ozark Trail. With a super easy setup, Ozark Trails boasts that you can have it ready in under two minutes. Perhaps this is a bit of a long shot unless you’re an expert, but it’s nonetheless a straightforward process.

All the poles come pre-attached, so all you need to do is open and extend. Once unfolded, you get to see just how spacious it is. Ozark Trail promises a 6.8-foot central height with windows on all sides.

The interior can easily fit three queen-sized airbeds or up to 12 sleeping bags. You can divide the floor using two room dividers, giving you three separate spaces total.

You can comfortably camp out during the summer thanks to the ventilation system. Inside, there’s a vent near the floor, drawing in cool air from the ground. You could also fit an air conditioner.

Also included are a rainfly and carry bag. To keep moisture out, the manufacturer used fully taped, factory-sealed seams. This combines well with the durability of the 6-inch thick, tub-styled material floor.

Weighing only 11 pounds, the Mountainsmith Morrison 2-Person 3 Season Tent is one of the very lightest tents on the market today. It is made with a polyurethane coating and mesh wall panels that make it breathable and keep the air freely circulating inside.

It is easy to set up with its instructions printed on the stuff sack. Aside from the tent body and instructions, the package includes two poles, interior storage pockets, a detachable ceiling loft, and a fly attachment.

Created by one of the trusted manufacturers, the Coleman Sundome 2 Person Tent is sturdy and made of high quality materials that do not easily get damaged or break. It can accommodate up to two adults and has a center height of 4’.

For privacy and protection, it has a rollaway that can be easily rolled up or down. This keeps insects, mosquitoes, and other unwanted elements from the inside of the tent.

Another factor that many campers like about the Coleman Sundome 2 Person Tent, it that it is affordable. It is ideal for beginners, families, and other outdoor enthusiasts who do not want to spend more time in setting up a tent.

It comes with many features including two doors for excellent ventilation, a removable rain fly to keep the air circulating inside, water repellent 1500mm polyester to keep rainwater off the tent, and more.

The Geertop 4 Season 2-Person 20D Alpine Tent is made of very strong materials that are also lightweight. It is made of 20D PU800mm waterproof silicon-coated nylon that makes the tent weigh only 6.2 pounds and water resistant.
