How to Choose the Best Tent for Your Family

Taking the whole family on a camping excursion is a great way to enjoy the outdoors together, but bringing the right outdoor camping gear along is essential to having a successful outing. While it’s easy to get lost in the fun gadgets and innovations that have made camping more comfortable, ultimately the comfort of your trip hinges upon which tent you choose to purchase.

Not all families have an endless budget for camping, and, in fact, many families choose camping as a cheap vacation alternative. In order to keep costs down, pay attention to specials and daily deals to purchase discount camping gear for a fraction of the cost of its retail value. To determine which tent to purchase, consider the age of your children and isolation required.

Camping with Young Children

If you have a young family complete with toddlers, it would be prudent to purchase a large dome tent so that your entire family can sleep in the same tent. Family-oriented tents can fit up to 12 people and often have wings or extended rooms for some separation. This is essentially important if you need to keep an eye on young children throughout the night.

Camping with Kids & Teenagers

If your kids are on the verge of becoming young adults, it might be fun to ditch the family size tent in favor of 2 small tents. Part of the joy of camping is being out in the woods on your own and you’ll give kids that are old enough to look after themselves the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors on their own terms. Plus, you can find smaller tents for much less than the large, family tents.
