There are all sorts of one person tent that are available for purchase in today's market. You can find tents for camping that are small and fit only one or two people or even gigantic camping tents that can hold a decent sized family in them. It can be very hard sometimes to actually pick out camping tents since there are just so many to choose from. However, there are a few things you can consider that may help your selection process when buying tents for camping.

Tent Size Matters

The first thing you have to consider with camping tents is size. Sizes can be deceiving. When choosing the size of tent you need, you have to think that it not only has to give you shelter from the elements, but your gear as well. Even if you are by yourself, a one person tent may not have enough room for you and your backpack. If you have a family, you also need to think about enough space around you so that you're not all cramped up together. A good rule of thumb is that no matter how many people there are, your tents for camping may be better sized as one or two persons above the actual capacity you want. If backpacking and hiking you more than likely stick to the actual size to keep weight at a minimum.

Pitching A Tent And Features

The next thing to consider is how easy the camping tents are to put together. There is nothing more frustrating about tents for camping than spending half the day just putting it up. Flex pole tents, typically dome tents, are far easier to put up when the tent has grommets to connect the pole to make the tent stable. Aluminium are better quality poles above fibreglass because they can be more flexible and stronger. Even larger models, with multiple rooms can be a breeze with the right poles. It should have easy to follow instructions, and you should always hang on to them until you are well accustomed to the set up.

Another thing to think about is dependability. You want to choose camping tents that are rugged and well made. Many of today's tents for camping have double stitch seams (sealed) and zippers, thick, tear resistant floors (rip stop), bathtub floor and are made from the best materials for rain protection. They will last longer, hold up better to the elements, and be offer better protection when it decides to rain.
