Tents
What We Have Learned to Look for in a Tent

What to Consider
|
You do not need a fancy tent or a camper of any kind to get started camping with your family!
Just GET A TENT and GO!
With that being said, here are a few tents that we have used in the past.....
Our First Tent: A Coleman 2-Pole Dome TentWhat we liked....
- Easy to set up - Bathtub floor - Fairly inexpensive (purchased at Target) - Kept us dry even during downpours Why We Changed Tents - Our family grew and we wanted more space - After many years of use the rainfly stopped working (leaks) Bottom Line: Still our favorite tent! |
Our Second Tent: A multi-room Coleman TentWhat We Liked
- BIG...lots of room! - "Porch" for storing gear - Doors easy to open and close Why We Changed Tents - Too big...hard to find big flat areas for it - Difficult for us to set it up - lots of poles Bottom Line: We only used this tent one time! |
Our Third Tent: the Eureka Copper Canyon Cabin TentWhat We Liked
- Roomy, plenty of space - We can stand straight up even near the walls - Pretty easy to set up Why We Changed Tents - Found something else (the Jumping Jack Tent Trailer) Bottom Line: Great tent! We would still be using it had we not found the Jumping Jack! |
