Kampa Saunton 6 Air Tent 2026
The Kampa Saunton 6 Air Tent 2026 is a premium 6 maninflatable tent built for longer camping stays and extended family holidays.A quick-pitch air beam structure means no poles to wrestle with — justinflate and peg out, and you’re camping in around 15 minutes. Built fromdurable 150D ripstop polyester with a 4,000mm hydrostatichead, it handles everything the British weather can throw at it, from coastalsqualls to summer downpours.
Whether you’re pitching for a fortnight on a favourite campsite orfollowing the surf down the coast, the Saunton 6 Air delivers the space,comfort, and reliability that makes outdoor life actually enjoyable. It’sone of the best air beam tents available in the UK at this price point —and one of the most practical 6 berth inflatable tents for family camping.
3 zones. One well-organised pitch.
| Front canopy Sheltered entrance. Boots, wet gear, outdoor seating. | Living area Full standing height. Sewn-in groundsheet. PVC windows. | Blackout bedroom Dark-blocking inner tent. Fits 6. Up to 6’4” head height. |
Inside the living area, a fully sewn-in groundsheet seals outdraughts, insects, and water from below — cleaner and drier than aremovable groundsheet on muddy British pitches. The Hi-Lo ventilation system(upper and lower vents plus a large rear panel) keeps air moving to reducecondensation, which is particularly useful on longer trips where damp morningsare inevitable.
Blackout bedrooms for proper sleep
The blackout inner tent is one of the Saunton’s standoutfeatures. The fully enclosed bedroom uses dark-blocking fabric throughout, whichmakes a genuine difference when the sun rises at 5am in June or July. Mostfamilies who upgrade to a blackout tent don’t go back — the kids sleeplater, the adults sleep longer, and the whole camp runs more smoothly.
Zipped bedroom dividers let you split the sleeping space for privacy betweenage groups or couples. Full-height rooms accommodate campers up to6’4” — no stooping to get into bed.
Ready for electric hook-up
The Saunton 6 Air is a fully EHU-ready tent with cable and electric entrypoints in both the living area and inner tent. Run power to where you need it— bedside lamp, phone chargers, a small fan — without leaving a door orzip partially open. Ideal for powered pitch camping on UK campsites.
