Tents For Your Camping Trip

You’re going camping. You browsed through the campsites that are accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA) and the Kampgrounds of America (KOA). All you have to do is decide how rough you want your camping trip to be. Will you stay in an RV or a pop up camper? Or you’ll be pulling a travel trailer. Not rough enough, you say. You’re a real man and all you need is a sleeping bag and a tent.

All camping trips call for choosing a tent first. What type of weather conditions are you expecting? You should be prepared for any weather. Three season tents and four season tents are available. The four season tents are heavier than the three season ones. It’s because they have more poles to stand against wind and snow fall. But most people go camping during good weather. A three season tent will be fine for us. What style of tent would you want?

Choosing a style may depend on how much backpacking you’re planning on doing. You want a very light tent if you are really going to rough it. You’re best off with a tarp tent, or if you camp during summer, then a lightweight warm weather tent.

If you’re the type of camper who likes to “rough it” at a drive up base camp area then the weight of a tent will not be an issue for you. You will probably be more concerned with how many people will be sharing your tent. A two-man tent will be a tight fit for two large adults and all their things. Ideally, a person should have at least 30 square feet of floor space. They say that you should divide the number of people a tent says is its capacity by 2. If you’re travelling with young children you definitely want to look into a larger model of tent. You’ll want a large area inside your tent, especially as you may experience some inclement weather and have the children inside the tent for long periods of time. It would be nice if they had an area to play their board games.

Before buying a tent, go to a camping store where they have tents set up. Walk around inside the tent. Lie in it. Stand up straight in it. Make sure that the tent you choose will meet all your camping requirements before you get to your campsite.
