subject: Family Tents - Looking For A Good One [print this page] Finding the family tents can be a challengeFinding the family tents can be a challenge. With a little work, you can find the one that suits your needs. There is such a wide variety of styles and colors to chose from, you are sure to be able to find just the right tent for your family to camp in. No matter the size of your family, from 2 people to 12 the right tent is out there and shouldn't break the bank cost wise.
An easy to set up design is now available. Simple rods with elastic that do not break down, but fold up make it easy to set up the tent. In the past, tent poles were color coded so you spent hours trying to make sure you got the right rods into the right pocket. Today they are much simpler and require less than fifteen minutes for the novice to set up.
A "condo" style tent is a little more complicated, in that you must set place the rods of all three tents in, then follow explicit instructions to get them set up correctly. These tents have "pass through" windows in the two smaller tents so that all three can be linked together. Usually the two smaller tents will sleep 2 adults with the larger tent sleeping up to 6. This tent can also be broken down into three completely separate tents. This is great for a family who would like a measure of privacy, but still wants easy access to small children. For a smaller family, the smaller tents can be used as a storage area for suitcases and such, keeping the sleeping area clutter free.
Sizes of tents have changed a lot too. There are tents that can hold as many as ten or twelve people down to a single person tent. The choices in style are great too. There is something for every style in the tent world now.
There is a great tent style on the market now for a smaller family. You simply pull it out of the bag and toss it and it opens up with a "pop" and there it is. This is a super easy tent to get set up, although putting it back into the bag gets a little tricky and can require more than one person. Getting the hang of twisting it just right to put it back into it's storage bag takes a bit of practice, but it is certainly an easy way to get camp set up quickly.
No matter what the tent is you are looking for, you will find it with a bit of looking. You will be ready to get your group on the road and soon you will all be enjoying your family tents.
