At what age do people puts kids in there own pup tent.

My eldest son is a nearly 11 and want to sleeping his own tent next season. We're thinking of getting him either a 2man hiking tents or a 2man popup tent.

What have other people done?

I think it depends on how mature they are. I wouldn't have let my eldest at 11 but my youngest was fine at that age.

He always had a friend with him and loved the 'independence'.

two of my children were in a pup tent on the last two trips, first one was always the 10yrold and his nearly 9 year old sister and then on last one the 7yr old went in with my 10 yr old for one night. I always pitch the tent at the back of the pitch and between the two pedroom pods and to me with the older ones no difference than being in a different pod in the tent. Only you know your child ect and can make that decision when you feel the time is right.
