At Robens®, we believe that adventure doesn’t require sacrificing comfort. Our glamping tent collection is designed for those who seek a technical basecamp that blends heritage aesthetics with modern performance. Whether you are setting up a wilderness retreat or a family basecamp, each glamping tent in our range utilises HydroTex® Polycotton for superior breathability and climate control. These tents are adventure-ready, offering spacious interiors and robust materials that have been thoroughly tested in our own wind and rain test facilities. Experience value for money through durable designs that allow you to embrace your pure outdoor passion in any environment while staying protected from the elements.
When you decide to invest in a glamping tent, you are choosing more than just a large shelter; you are choosing a technical hub for your outdoor life. At Robens, we focus on technical performance to ensure that your basecamp remains stable and comfortable regardless of the weather. Our Outback range is specifically engineered to provide a bridge between traditional bushcraft heritage and modern camping needs. By using high-quality materials and award-winning design, we provide reliable gear that stands up to the elements.
Before committing to a specific model, you can explore different technical tent types to ensure you have the right architecture for your specific environment. Our tents are not just about aesthetics; they are built with technical features like alloy poles for strength and HydroTex® technology for weather protection. This ensures that when you are out in the wild, you can focus on the experience rather than worrying about your gear.
The primary material used in our luxury tents is HydroTex® Polycotton. This fabric is a blend of polyester and cotton, providing high-performance qualities in all conditions. It is highly breathable, which significantly reduces condensation and keeps the interior temperature stable. On hot days, the fabric stays cool, and when it rains, the cotton fibres swell to create a waterproof seal. This makes a camping glamping tent made from polycotton a technical choice for long-duration stays where comfort is a priority. Because the material is robust, it also offers a longer lifespan compared to standard lightweight synthetics, providing excellent value for money over many years of adventure.
If you are travelling with a large group, space is a critical factor for maintaining a positive atmosphere. Our luxury big camping tents are designed with standing height and expansive floor plans in mind. For example, the Klondike Grande is a massive 10-person bell tent that provides enough room for the whole group to gather comfortably. The zip-in groundsheet can be unzipped to the centre and folded back, creating a dedicated wet zone or a safe area for a tent stove.
When the whole family or a large group is involved, our large 10-person tents for groups provide the expansive footprint needed for a true luxury basecamp. This allows you to set up separate sleeping areas and a central living space, making it feel less like a temporary shelter and more like a wilderness home.
A common concern when choosing luxury tents is whether their size compromises their stability. At Robens, every glamping tent is thoroughly tested in our own wind and rain test facilities. We provide Wind Test max speeds for our models so you know exactly what your gear can handle. By using high-quality alloy poles and reinforced pegging points, we ensure that even our largest structures remain stable when the wind picks up.
The bell tent silhouette is naturally aerodynamic, allowing wind to flow over the surface. This design, combined with our technical materials, ensures that you stay dry and secure. Whether you are facing a coastal breeze or a mountain storm, our adventure-ready gear is built to perform. We do not promise a perfect experience in extreme conditions, but we do promise that our gear is built to the highest technical standards possible for its category.
Many of our models are designed with a bushcraft heritage in mind, meaning they are often stove-ready. The Klondike and Settler Field models feature a zip-in groundsheet that folds back. This is a vital safety feature when using a stove like the Hunter Tent Stove, as it prevents the hot floor of the stove from coming into contact with the tent material.
Using a stove in your luxury tents for camping transforms the environment, providing warmth and a dry atmosphere during shoulder-season trips. The apex of many of our bell tents includes a stovepipe port, allowing you to vent smoke safely while maintaining the integrity of the roof. This capability extends your camping season into the colder months, making your investment even more versatile for year-round passion for the outdoors.
Selecting the right glamping camping tent depends on how many people are joining your journey and how much gear you intend to bring. If you are seeking a balance between interior volume and wind stability, our comfortable 6-person tents offer ample room for cots and tables while remaining manageable during the pitching process.
The Klondike series is our most popular range for this purpose. The standard Klondike fits six people and can be pitched in about 11 minutes. For couples or small families, the Klondike S offers a more compact 4-person footprint without losing the breathable polycotton atmosphere. For those who want a clear view of the wilderness, the Settler Field 6-person tent includes large tinted windows and mesh panels, allowing you to enjoy the landscape from the comfort of your bed while maintaining privacy with height-adjustable curtains.
The tipi or bell tent design has been used for centuries because of its efficiency. In modern tent glamping, this translates to a single centre pole that makes pitching incredibly fast. Our collection features many classic poly-cotton teepee tents that combine heritage style with modern technical performance for better climate control.
The Fairbanks model is a great example of this, utilising an offset centre pole to maximise usable space and a large porch area for gear storage. Because it features a sewn-in groundsheet, it is slightly lighter and simpler to set up, making it an excellent choice for those who move basecamp frequently but still want the comfort of a polycotton shelter.
True comfort in luxury camping tents is achieved through the details. While the tent provides the shelter, what you put inside defines the experience. At Robens, we offer a range of accessories designed to fit our specific models perfectly. Fleece carpets are one of the most effective upgrades you can make; they are cut to fit the living area profile, providing a soft surface underfoot and adding an extra layer of insulation from the ground.
Another way to improve the experience is through better organisation. Our black inner tents reduce light penetration, helping you sleep longer even after the sun rises. These can be zip-divided to create private bedrooms within the larger tent structure. Combined with organiser pockets and gear lofts, you can keep your living area tidy and functional throughout your stay.
For a restorative night’s sleep that rivals your home bedroom, pair your tent with our thick, supportive outdoor airbeds. These offer far more comfort than a standard trekking mat, making them ideal for basecamp living.
To truly embrace the luxury of a large polycotton tent, you should consider your living space. Transform your living space into a functional wilderness home by adding technical furniture for your basecamp, including folding chairs and bamboo-topped tables. Having a proper place to sit and eat or prepare food inside the tent makes a significant difference during long stays or on days when the weather keeps you indoors.
Our furniture is designed to be durable yet portable, fitting perfectly into the aesthetic of our glamping range. By choosing high-quality furniture, you ensure that your basecamp is not just a place to sleep, but a place to live. This focus on “Pure Outdoor Passion” is what drives us to create gear that supports every aspect of your adventure, from the sleep system to the social hub of your camp.
