Camping Tent Reviews

You spend time to select the best in camping and canoeing gear but don't forget that your camping tent purchase requires careful consideration too. Camping tents are an expensive gear purchase for long term use of six to eight years, so selecting the right tent means that you won't have to make another expensive purchase anytime soon. Camping tents are available in a variety of types, sizes and costs all designed for a different use such as backyard camping, family camping, backpacking and mountaineering.

When making your tent selection first consider what type of outdoor activity you will be using the tent for then set design priorities such as season of use, budget and tent size and capacity. If you are car camping in mild weather conditions and sharing your tent with a group of campers you may want to consider a three season family tent design but if you are wilderness canoeing in the Minnesota Boundary Waters you need to resist the urge to purchase that spacious tent for a tent in the ultralight or backpacking range that will make portaging less strenuous.
