Things to Consider when Buying a Family Camping Tent
Buying a new family tent is an exciting step toward creating memorable outdoor adventures, but it’s a decision that requires thoughtful consideration.
With so many styles, sizes, and features available, choosing the right tent can feel daunting, but this blog will help you find the perfect family tent.
Read on to discover things to consider when buying a family tent.
Size of the Tent
The number one thing to consider when purchasing a new family tent is how many people will be sleeping in it. Are you a family that's growing or is their two adults plus 4 kids? Depending on the size of your family will indicate what size tent you will need to buy.
Camping experience
Are you a frequent camper? If so, you may want to consider a tent that is easy to erect. The simpler it is to do, the better it will be to use. Modern tents can be set up very rapidly these days, sometimes in as little as twenty minutes, which will be a relief when you’ve travelled far to your campsite with children.
If your a camping novice its important to find a tent that is easy to erect and not too expensive. Although investing in good quality camping gear is a must, for beginner campers you don't wan to get put off by complicated camping equipment after spending lots of money on it!
Time of year
The season and climate you are camping in is an important factor when choosing the right family tent. All tents are water resistant, but not all have protection against a sudden rain storm and high winds.
Keep this in mind when buying a family tent. Summer in the South of France is far warmer than Lancashire in Winter, so checking the season suitable is a buying essential.
Type of Tent
Consider what type of tent you may need for your camping trip. Backpacking tents are very different to standard camping tents.
If weight is a key aspect then look at our range of lightweight tents from top brands such as Vango. If your tent is not fit for purpose then you will have a very unsuccessful camping trip.
