Are you wanting to go camping but do not have a tent? Well, look no further! Ive put together a few of the best tents for camping. Whether you are looking to replace your old tent, or this is your first tent purchase, I’m sure you’ll find one that best fit’s your needs!
How big should I go?
Well, the thought of having a big enough tent to house the whole family is awesome! Have you ever put one together? Their not a lot of fun, so keep that in mind while your looking.
I have set up a big family tent one time. Not twice, I learned from the first time. I was thinking that the bigger the better, but I didn’t really need all that extra space at the time.
It takes more time to assemble a big family tent. If you are going backpacking then I would just pick up a small 2 person tent. You won’t need a 4+ person tent!
Best budget tent: Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Person
For the price, you just cant beat it for Quality! It is rated to last up to 3 season’s!
The free standing design makes it easy to move around as well!
Weighing in at 4 lbs it is fairly light for the price! This tent comes with 1 door with a floor area of 30′ and a Vestibule area of 6′.
Best year round tent: Featherstone Backpacking Tent
With a weight of 5lb 4oz, you just cant beat this year round tent! It is not a budget tent so be ready to for over some cash, but I think this is a great tent!
The Copper Spur is also a free standing tent, so you can set it up just about anywhere. The poles are color coordinated so it makes for an easier set up.
It is a 3 season tent, it can handle a small amount of snow but not a lot. The Vestibule’s offer around 9 square foot of space.
Maximalist: Hilleberg Kaitum GT
If price isn’t an issue for you, this it the best you can get! The outer tent fabric is Kerlon 1200 and the poles are only 9mm thick, which makes it lightweight.
This is a two person tent with two entrance’s and a single vestibule. The tent is designed to withstand heavy storms. The quality is excellent with this brand, you do get what you pay for!
With any tent, you will want to get the foot print with it. This will help with warmth and keeping dry during heavy rains.
