I’m only basing this opinion on the one tent I’ve used, but the Easy Camp Base Air 500 is towards the bottom end of the inflatable tent scale in terms of price and feature set, and it still felt rock-solid once inflated. Then you simply tension the rest of the tent by pegging out the guylines, and you’re done! This excellent hand pump is included with the Easy Camp Base Air 500 tent And the supplied pump fits perfectly onto these valves to make inflation simple How sturdy do air tents feel once they’re up? Those tubes replace the long, tricky-to-put-together poles that usually create the frame of a tent this size, and take little more than a couple of minutes to pump up. All you need to do is peg out the base, then pump up the three big tubes that run across the outside of the tent, using the supplied pump. I had an idea in my head that they couldn’t possibly be as easy to pitch as I hoped they would be, but if anything the Easy Camp Base Air 500 inflatable tent was even easier. Here’s what we found out… How easy are air inflatable tents to pitch? But we recently got the chance to test out the Easy Camp Base Air 500 (in our garden, thanks to COVID-19 lockdown) so we’ve had chance to put those worries to rest. Up until recently a couple of things have put me off using air tents: price, and fear they’ll pop in the middle of the night. Then just as I was starting to get used to using all the usual camping equipment, along came blow-up air tents. Mostly because the hassle of pitching tents and dealing with poles and pegs has always put me off. But in general, are air tents good for family camping trips? Here’s our verdict.… We recently tested our first inflatable family tent – the Easy Camp Base Air 500 – and loved it.
