A Few Things To Consider Before Getting Large Tents
A experienced camper will tell you how important it is to have the right size tent. Unfortunately I did not take this into consideration when I took my family of 6 camping with only a 4 person tent. I could write a book about this trip but I do not want make you as miserable as my family was on our camping trip. Lets just say it rained the whole time and we were packed like a bunch of sardines.
Deciding how many campers there will be using your tent is the first thing you want to do. Large tents can hold many people. Having about 30-35 square feet of floor space per camper is a good rule to use. As far as height goes the average person isn’t over 6 foot so standing in a large tent should not be a problem. Most larger tents will reach at least 6 feet.
Obtaining privacy is the next option to choose. Tents are pretty thin but having a divider or two can really make things feel more private. Large tents come with many options and some even have rooms built in already. You could have different rooms for your family. You could have a room just for the parents and another room for the kids. Also you could have a room in your tent where you keep all your belongings so you feel less cramped. The options are really endless.
The good thing about large tents is that when the weather isn’t ideal you can hide out and still be comfortable. Camping is a event that can take place any time of the year so having the right kind of tent is important. Get a tent that has a good weather rating so it can take weather conditions you come across. The day you thought it was going to be nice outside could easily turn into a miserable day. With that said you need to know how your tent will be able to handle windy conditions, heavy rain, and other weather conditions depending where you are camping. If you plan on being in very hot conditions you want to keep ventilation in mind also.
Knowing what options to choose when looking at large tents will greatly raise the experience of your upcoming camping trips. Camping is a great time for people to bond so make sure you take the time in picking the right tent.
