With a capacious standing-height design, easy setup and stand-out colourways, NEMO’s Aurora Highrise 6-person tent (also available as a four-person) will bring loads of happiness (and breathing room) to your family camping trip.

Steep, angled sidewalls provide huge interior volume, while large, rain-shielded windows add ventilation and generous views and light. Two oversized doors and vestibules offer stumble-free entry and lots of room for keeping stuff organized and out of the weather.

More good news: the Aurora Highrise uses extra-durable fabrics that meet flame-retardant standards without the use of harmful chemicals. The heavy-duty 150D poly floor is printed with stylish pattern that makes the interior really pop.

Meanwhile, Nightlight Pocket headlamp diffusers, multiple gear pockets, and Gatekeeper door clips complete the package. And packing up is no sweat thanks to the duffel-style storage bag.

The family tents we’ve tried in the past did not offer near the level of ventilation offered by the Aurora 6, thanks to the side windows and oversized doors. The window design won’t let rain in, which makes for a much brighter and better-ventilated interior in any weather. And the floor’s 150D PU poly (68D PU poly for the rainfly and canopy) is tougher than most. This tent can handle plenty of use and abuse from kids and dogs.
