Camping has become one of the most preferred outdoor activities. A lot of people now go on camping in different seasons and to different locations. But it requires at least some planning and preparation for a smooth execution and awesome experience. And in this blog, we will give you some tips and ideas to get started with outdoor camping tents!
- Space Needs: There are tents with various specifications in terms of number of rooms, shape, structure, etc. You can also choose a tent according to the number of people you wish to accommodate in each tent. However, while deciding the size of the tent, you must also consider the factors like extra storage space for things. These can be inside the tent, in the porch, in the vestibule, etc.
- Season-specific Tents: Tents are made according to different seasons. For example, you can find extreme cold weather tents, also known as ‘4-season tents.’ Other types of tents are 3-season tents, 2-season tents, etc. In other words, you can find tents for summer season, extreme snow, rainfall, etc. Some of the tents can be used in multiple seasons, sometimes with slight add-ons or modifications. So, scout a bit and choose according to your different needs. Find out key differences between 3 season vs 4 season tents.
- Ease of Set–up: This category, again, has multiple options. So, you can choose from pop-up tents, hanging tents, etc. So, obviously, you can decide according to the trip you are planning. But keep in mind, the tent should not be too much of a hassle to set up. Otherwise, you will be drained off and will not be able to engage in other activities.
- Complete Protection: The tent should provide complete protection from all the natural elements like bugs, sudden weather changes, etc. You can also choose some add-ons like fliers, covers, extensions, etc to include this factor in your selected tent.
- Connectivity: Some of the tents are made in such a way that they can be easily connected with other tents. So, you can have bigger tents or tents having multiple rooms. On the other hand, some tents need some additional clips, binders, etc for connection. Find out which type of tent yours is and prepare in advance according to your plan.
- Budget Matters: Tents also come in a wide price range and of different qualities. So, the decision about the desired quality and the price should be based on the number of uses you expect from the tent. You can also check for warranty or extra spare parts, etc.
Apart from these, there can be other factors like the weight of the tent, the additional facilities like porches, AC vent, ventilation, etc. But each of these factors matter or don’t matter according to season, personal preferences, etc. We hope these tips will help you choose the best tents for camping.
