There are SO many different types of tents out there – some are 3-season, some are 4-season, some have vestibules, some come with a ground cloth, etc.
There are SO many different types of tents out there – some are 3-season, some are 4-season, some have vestibules, some come with a ground cloth, etc. With so many options, we know that this can feel overwhelming. So, you must narrow down your search options. First, how many people will be in the tent? As long as you aren’t backpack camping (which would have a much different ‘Top Ten’ list!), then our rule of thumb is to purchase a tent that is sized for 2 more people than you are planning on having. For example, if you there are just two of you, purchase a 4-man tent, if there are 4 of you, consider a 6-man tent. That little extra room will provide you with additional comfort and space (and trust us, you’ll thank us later!).
