The Ideal Rooftop Tent for
Families with Kids

Rooftop tent for families – what makes the difference?

Families who want to camp soon hit the limits of classic rooftop tents: too heavy for one person, too big for the pitch, too much effort for spontaneous trips. The WEEKEND is designed differently – light, compact and so straightforward that family camping becomes fun again instead of stressful.

Mount it on your own – even with the kids already running around

At just 12 kg, one person can carry, mount and pack away the WEEKEND alone. Especially when several things are happening at once, that saves precious time and energy. You stay flexible and don't have to arrange help – a real advantage when the kids are already waiting impatiently by the car.

What the setup looks like in practice is shown in our Assembly & Setup Guide – including a video.

The treehouse on the car roof

For kids, the rooftop tent quickly becomes the highlight of the trip. The raised sleeping spot feels like a little treehouse and creates a retreat of their own. That means delighted children – and lets parents catch their breath in between.

Rooftop tent with kids: no pitch-space problem

A classic family tent needs floor space – often a problem on the campsite. The WEEKEND moves the sleeping area upwards. The ground-level space stays free: more room for camping furniture, a play area and the shared hours in the evening. On small or urban campsites in particular, that's a real advantage.

Which cars can carry the WEEKEND without trouble is explained in our Vehicle Guide – including small cars and vehicles with a low roof load.

Family camping with a baby or toddler

Even with a baby, the WEEKEND is a practical solution: because the tent is only mounted when needed, you can decide spontaneously whether to sleep in the rooftop tent or in a hotel after all – without much effort. The pack size of 75×48×40 cm fits in any boot, leaving space free for the pushchair, baby gear and luggage.

After the holiday: compact in the cellar

After the trip the tent packs away compactly and fits easily into a flat or cellar. With a pack size of 75×48×40 cm it needs no garage and no carport – a real advantage over large family tents that take up half the cellar.

Conclusion: family camping gets more relaxed

The Groenberg WEEKEND takes a lot of work off your hands on family trips. Quick setup, no lugging, more space on the pitch and a sleeping spot kids love. Anyone looking for a rooftop tent for families with kids that is genuinely fit for everyday use will find the answer here.
