Choosing the right size tent for camping is probably one of the biggest dilemmas for campers.
So, what size tent do you really need?
Camping tents are classified as 1 man tent, 2 man tent, etc.
A 2 man tent
holds 2 people.
lightweight
easy to setup
the 2 people will be shoulder to shoulder.
barely room to lay comfortably
no room for extra gear
A 4 man tent
lightweight
easy to setup
will hold 2 people comfortably
small space for extra gear
6 man tent
Sleeps 2-4 people comfortably
will store your clothes, and other gear
little more difficult to set up and take down
heavier
A general rule to follow when deciding which size camping tent you need is to add an extra camper. So for a party of 3 campers, you should get a 4 man tent.
However that rule is for sleeping comfortably only, with little room to spare for other camping gear.
If you want to store a lot of gear in your tent, you should add 2 or 3 extra campers. So for that same party of 3 campers, you should get a 6 man tent.
I have a family of 5, so I got a Coleman 8 man tent, like the one pictured above.
It has plenty of room for sleeping, and the 2 wings on the sides holds plenty of camping gear.
I hope these tips help you find the perfect camping tent!
Happy Camping!
