We Some things you need to know when looking at family camping tents
news Family Camping Tents.If you have been looking around at the different family camping tents and still can’t decide which one is right for you, read on for some important tips on selecting the right tent for you and your family.
The Size of the Tent Does Mater
One of the first things you need to know about tents is that a 4 person tent is not a good tent for a family of 4. When you see this on any tent it means that the floor space in a tent will only fit 4 sleeping bags side by side. This leaves you absolutely no room for any of your gear let alone room to move around.
A good rule of thumb is to add at least 2 persons to the size of a tent to leave you a little extra elbow room.
What Type of Tent Should I Get
Three of the most popular family camping tents are:
 |
The cabin tent usually has a rectangle floor and comes in different sizes from 4 persons up to 8 persons. Any thing above 8 persons and you start getting into the 2 and 3 room tents.
The cabin tent is perfect for families with small children which allows you to be close to your children at all times. Just make sure that you get one large enough to allow for comfort and storage of some of your camping gear.

A two room family camping tent allows you a few more options then the one room cabin tent. If you have children that are older you can let them have their own space which gives them a sense of responsibility and gives you and yours a little more privacy.
Another option is to have one side as a sleeping area and another room to store all of your gear and supplies. You can also place a table and chairs in the other room to give you a place to play games with the kids incase the weather should turn bad.
