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.

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.
