Why Choose the Outwell Ohio 5 TC?
The Outwell Ohio 5 TC is a premium five berth polycotton family tent, ideal for longer UK camping holidays where comfort, stability and internal climate control make all the difference. Designed for families upgrading from standard polyester tents, this spacious three room tunnel tent delivers breathable performance, structural strength and generous living space for extended stays.
Constructed from advanced Outtex® Airtech polycotton, a durable blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, the Ohio 5 TC helps regulate temperature and significantly reduce condensation compared to traditional polyester tents. The technical cotton weave supports a more stable internal climate during warmer days and cooler evenings, making it particularly well suited to seasonal camping from spring through to late summer. It also benefits from UPF 50+ protection, surface water repellency and fire retardant treatment to ISO5912 standards.
The advanced PowerTec pole system, featuring square pole segments, provides up to 40% improved strength and wind stability. This enhanced structural performance offers reassurance when pitching in exposed or changeable weather conditions, ideal for families planning longer stays on site.
The intelligent layout includes two generous Dark Premier Bedrooms, designed to reduce early morning light and improve sleep quality. Mesh ventilation panels enhance airflow for greater overnight comfort. A durable, waterproof sewn-in groundsheet helps block draughts, insects and ground moisture, supporting a more comfortable and enclosed living environment.
The vertical front wall maximises usable internal space, while the integrated canopy with roll back side protection creates adaptable shelter for dining, relaxing or protected entry. Double zipped front doors backed by a full mesh panel provide adjustable insect free ventilation.
Prepared for the integrated, patent pending Outwell Light System, the tent allows elegant interior lighting powered via USB-C, power source not included. With a practical 12 minute pitch time and backed by a reassuring 2 year warranty, the Outwell Ohio 5 TC is built for breathable comfort, premium materials and reliable long term performance.
