best camping tents

A reliable camping tent should provide enough sleeping space, weather protection and ventilation without making setup more complicated than it needs to be. The right choice depends on how many people are camping, whether the tent will be carried on foot and how much room is needed for beds, bags and other gear. Backpackers usually benefit from a lighter two person shelter while families and groups may prefer a larger cabin style tent with more standing room. This comparison includes the versatile Coleman Sundome for everyday camping, the lightweight Night Cat Backpacking Tent for two people and the spacious Core Instant Cabin Tent for larger groups.
