One of the most essential pieces of camping gear is a tent. They offer you shelter from the outdoor elements and provide you with privacy as you sleep or change. Regardless of what season you camp in or how many people you go with, it’s important to invest in a tent that’s made out of high-quality materials and capable of protecting you in various weather conditions. This article will outline the factors to consider when looking for a camping tent, and give product reviews of the 7 best tents for camping. Factors to Consider Seasonality When buying a tent, it’s important to assess what season(s) you’ll be using it the most. 3-season tents are designed for relatively temperate weather conditions in the spring, summer and fall. Basically, 3-season tents are designed to keep you dry in mild precipitation, protect you from bugs, and give you some privacy to change and sleep on a camping trip. 4-season tents, on the other hand, are designed for more extreme weather conditions in the spring, summer, fall and winter. 4-season tents are usually made with heavier fabrics and coatings that are more durable and waterproof, have more poles for structural durability, rainflies that extend to the ground, and rounded roof designs to prevent snow from accumulating. Capacity You should also think about whether you want a tent for solo trips, buddy camping or for big groups of friends or family. Look at the manufacturer’s suggested capacity and also get a good sense of the tent’s dimensions. Some camping tents will have rainfly vestibules that allow you to keep your gear outside and provide you with a little extra room inside the tent. Weight If you are a frequent car camper then weight might not be an issue for you. But for campers who need to haul all of their gear to campsites, weight is an important factor to consider. Look for tents with mesh components that can reduce weight and also allow for better ventilation. Double doors tend to add extra weight because of extra zippers needed, so consider investing in a tent with one door. Other material weights to be aware of are poles and stakes.
