Sunny weather is never guaranteed when going camping in the UK, whether it’s a Lake District downpour or a Cornish coastal gale, it’s always best to be on the prepared side. At Blacks, we have brought together the best tents for the UK weather, built to handle rain, wind and fluctuating temperatures.

Key features to look out for include a waterproof flysheet with a hydrostatic head of at least 2,000–3,000mm, a durable groundsheet, strong pole construction and effective ventilation to help manage condensation. For more exposed locations, features such as geodesic or semi-geodesic designs, fully taped seams and reinforced guying systems provide extra stability when conditions turn challenging.
