So T in the Park has come round again: part music festival part survivalist challenge, it’s become a rite of passage for teenagers and would be teenagers across Scotland. If you are heading to Kinross this weekend ready to rough it, how about rocking up with one of these spectacular tents? Beyonce may have one the same…

The Bubble Lodge by Pierre Stephane Dumas is an inflatable, see through affair designed to allow a night under the stars and a perfect view of the rising sun. Perhaps one for the good looking family who gets along even while camping?

Bell tents are roomy and have an appealing, boy scout look about them. This striped version is £430 from the Glam Camping Company. The pretty pastel ones below are available to hire from Boutique Camping.

For the gadget enthusiasts, how about this solar powered tent, below, by Orange? Constructed from photovoltaic fabric, it captures solar energy and converts it into power for your gadgets. It also controls the temperature inside the tent and provides wi-fi access. It comes with a heated groundsheet and glows in the dark so that you can find it on the way back from your midnight trip to the toilet block. This is just a prototype at the moment but I imagine it will be fairly pricey once it goes into production.

But, for the serious camper, it has to be this Campervan tent from Firebox.

What great, fun times you’d have in tents like these. Or would you wake to find that constant rain and lack of sun has rendered your solar tent just a tent, your striped bell tent has attracted a small crowd of children who think the circus has come to town, your bubble tent has deflated and shrinkwrapped you like a sandwich and your camper van just won’t start? Happy camping everybody.
