Tents in the Campground

Tents are a great way to start when investing in a camping home; they come in an extensive range of sizes and colors and price out at $150.00-$500.00, but you get into the thousands with luxury brand selections. A good quality tent is worth the investment even if you plan on moving to other camping alternatives later. The range of tents is single-person for solo campers, hikers, mountain climbers, backpackers to 2 person tents, family tents, group tents.

Things to Know

  • Think about the size and weight, especially if you carry it on your back.

  • A cold, crowded tent is no fun.

  • Look for height if you plan on standing up in the tent.

  • If you are looking for a long-term tent, think about doors, windows, ventilation, camp storage extras.

  • Look at liners, tent covers, weather covers.

  • Make sure you know upfront the working of the tent. Nothing worse than hating the set-up every time you go camping.

  • Pay attention to the tent flooring; make sure it is durable for all the wear and tear camping provides.

  • Setting up a new tent is recommended, especially if you plan on getting into the campground in the dark.

  • Take good care with the maintenance of a tent, it can last years into a camping adventure.

Camping in a tent is a beautiful way to get into the campground. A good quality tent will last a long time, and even if you move into other camp choices, it is the perfect backup when needed.
