Camping is a fun, adventurous and affordable activity that can be enjoyed by family and friends of all ages. When preparing for a camping trip, shelter is definitely the first thing to consider. Camping tents are what comes to most people’s minds when considering a shelter for their adventure.
Camping tents typically pack down into small, easy to transport packages that are fairly lightweight. This plus the relative affordability makes them an ideal shelter. With the many various camping tent options available out there, choosing what tent will work best is as simple as starting with how many people the tent in question needs to shelter.
Ideally, it is a good idea to plan on getting a tent that deemed good for two people more than is actually needed. A two person tent barely has room for two people with zero extra space whatsoever. Two people can be comfortable in a four person tent with room to spread out a bit and space for some of their gear to be nearby. For a family of four, a six person camping tent would be best in that there would be room to sleep without having to touch other people unless by choice. Camping tents with multiple rooms are a great advantage in that one room can keep clean for sleeping while the another room can be used for changing clothes and storing gear.
Some features to consider when buying a camping tent that are small things individually but add up to the overall quality of the tent and the camping experience. Heavy duty tent zippers are a plus. Those zippers will be opened and closed countless times, so it is a good idea to be sure they will hold up to such use. Meshing that is tiny and fine in order to keep out all bugs, even noseeums, is important to the comfort of campers. A quality rainfly is a good thing to double check on a camping tent before buying. The rainfly is the tent’s umbrella and a good one will extend down the sides of the tent instead of just on top. It is important to remember that rainflies are waterproof but camping tent walls are only water resistant.
By being sure the camping tent has adequate space and can stand up to use, the tent will shelter campers in many adventures to come.

Discover Cheap Camping Gear Tips?
When planning a camping trip, choose cheap camping gear that is durable. Buy a tent that is large enough for every family member. Place a plastic tarp under your tent to prevent sticks and stones from penetrating the bottom of the tent. To keep the inside of the tent clean, place an old towel in front of the entrance. Ask family members to remove their shoes before going inside the tent. When you buy a new tent, set it up at home before going camping. Check the seams with the water hose to check for leaks. If the tent leaks, you can buy a tent sealant at your local hardware store. Buy a flashlight for small children to sooth their fears of the dark.

What is the best camping tent?
There are many answers to this, of course. The correct answer depends upon your personal details. If you're going to be carrying the tent on a long hike, then you want a very lightweight tent. If you're car-camping, and you have a large group, then you can get a very large tent. If you're camping in a place with windy or harsh weather, then you'll want a sturdy tent made of heavy material. Tents also have varying degrees of setup simplicity. Weigh each of these factors, then visit the various camping supply stores on the web. I don't know that there is an answer to your question. It all depends on how many people are camping, the temperature where you will be camping, the weather conditions of the area where you will be camping, the kind of terrain where you will be camping, the kind of sleeping bag you have, your experience at camping and setting up a tent, the experience of any people who might be camping and more. Ask an older Boy Scout for advice. They aren't trying to sell you anything, as a salesperson at a camping so sports store might.
