Tents
Perhaps the most important gear choice for an outdoor getaway is the camping tent. It's your home away from home when you venture outside. Every size, shape and color, but with literally hundreds of options, it's hard to know where to start.
We'll focus on tents for camping here, but it also helps to understand the full range of tent categories:
Car Tent: When choosing a car camping tent, weight isn't an issue since your vehicle carries the weight. Focus on roominess and other features.
Backpacking Tents: Balance weight, capacity, weather and comfort when choosing a backpacking tent to carry into the backcountry. These backpacking tents are some of our favorites.
Beach Tent: Pop Up Design & Super Large Space, the specially designed pop-up beach tent sets up well in seconds, no assembly required. Can comfortably fits 3-4 people or 2 regular beach chairs.
Shelters: Covers everything from sun canopies and bug refuges to tarps and minimalist shelters for ultralight backpacking.
Hammock Tents: Combine a hammock with weather and/or bug protection and you get another type of ultralight shelter.
Family Tent: Two-bedroom design, there are two rooms in the tent, and the partition curtain can also be removed to form a large bedroom. After removing the partition curtain, the interior space is large and can sleep 8-9 people. The design of the living room is equipped with a door pole. After the door curtain is fixed, there will be a large living room in front of the tent, which can provide a good place for enjoying the shade and entertaining.
Yurt Bell Tent: Larger than the average hotel room! The bell tent is used for family camping, luxury camps, casual glamping, festivals, garden parties, car camping, back yard lounging, and 3 season use.
Below are some additional factors to think about.
Seems simple: Going with one friend, Get a 2-person tent. If you're a family of 4, get a 4-person Tent. Keep in mind, though, that these designations don't allow much elbow room. So a lot of people upsize, getting, say, a 6-person camping tent for their group of four. If you're between group sizes, go bigger.
Tent Roominess: If spaciousness matters to you, compare the floor area and floor dimensions between tents you're considering. This information helps you visualize how you might set up sleeping bags and other gear inside.
Tent Headroom: If you want to stand up inside the tent, then make sure the peak height is taller than you.
Tent Shape: Rectangular floor plans offer more usable space than circular floors (such as in dome tents). Cabin-shaped tents also offer more wall-to-wall headroom than a dome.
When a tent is designated as 2-3 or 4-season, that simply hints at how sturdy it is and how sealed up it can be. A 3-season (spring/summer/fall) tent is designed for milder weather than a 4-season (spring/summer/fall and winter) tent.
Doors, windows and vents: Every tent has one door; more doors will make it easier for campers to get in and out. Mesh windows help with ventilation, so you enjoy fresher air and less condensation buildup. A few tents also have additional vents to aid the cause.
Vestibules: Some tents have covered storage areas that extend beyond the doors. Vestibules range from alcove niches to garagelike spaces. Room-size vestibules might also be available as an add-on accessory.
Interior loops and pockets: Having places to stash or hang essentials—like toiletries and clothes—keeps things tidy. Accessories such as gear lofts give you even more storage space.
You can find a wide variety of products to help make your tent a little homier and keep it in good shape.
Other tent accessories: These range from utilitarian (extra stakes, guylines or a repair kit) to decorative (mats and LED light strings).
Tent Fans and Heaters: If you really want to glamp it up, you can get climate control products that are specifically designed for the confined sleeping space of a tent.
