When shopping around for your next family camping tent, you will probably be amazed at how many new styles there are on the market. While some people still like the dome tent, especially small families, others prefer to go with a cabin like style, which you will find sold from Kelty, Sierra Designs, Coleman, Eureka, and others.
Your family camping tent, whether it is a dome or large tent should provide several things. First, you want a family camping tent that offers safety, comfort, adequate room, and convenience. After all, if you have a family of six, obviously a dome tent would be too small. In this case, you would need a large tent, preferably one that offers standing room. Then, you need to consider that you will also have sleeping bags, coolers, lanterns, backpacks, and other items so you need to consider size carefully.
Other things to consider when you look for your next family camping tent is material that is waterproof, a zippered door to keep mosquitoes out, a durable floor, and screened windows. This way, if the children are smaller, they can take a nap inside the tent and be completely comfortable. Even adults can nap if they like! If you have a smaller dome tent and plan to camp with teenagers, you could also purchase a separate tent for the adults and smaller children, giving the dome tent to the older kids.
If you are looking for an opportunity for family members to gather and laugh, share stories, and just enjoy being together, camping is always an excellent idea. Remember, if you have a large family, then it would be important to make the adventure as enjoyable as possible by choosing a tent that will accommodate everyone.
A perfect choice for larger families is the canopy tent by Eureka or Kelty. This type of tent is large, waterproof, comfortable, easy to put up, and very lightweight. In addition to buying a large camping tent for the family, each person will also have some type of backpack or bag, a sleeping bag, you might have a heater, cooler, and other items as well. Therefore, to make the trip as enjoyable as it can be, be sure to consider everything. The result will be the perfect haven for your next family getaway.
