Family Tent Camping-Bring The Family Together
There is nothing quite like being able to get outside and go camping with your family.The thoughts of the wide open spaces, fresh air and quiet woods make you want to grabyour family tent and hit the road. Where you go does not matter just the thought of  enjoying the time together as a family is what is important. A lot of people will stay awayfrom a family cabin tent, preferring a bigger, roomier trailer, or RV. However, that might be because they haven't chosen the right family camping tent for their family. Lets look atthings to consider when picking a family cabin tent.1. Picking the Correct Size Family Camping Tent|Family camping tentsare all rated with a size according to how many people they cansleep. There are 2-person tents, 3-person tents, and upwards. Regardless of what the sizerating says, make sure you buy one that is big enough for you, your camping gear, and alittle bit of extra space for each person. For example, if you have a family of 5 people,you will want to look at an 8-person tent to make sure you have room each person, andyour gear. You many want to consider a family dome tent as they usually provide morefloor space than other tent designs.2. Tent Strength Is Important TooSome of the criticism of sleeping in family cabin tentsis that they will easily rip and thenyou spend the weekend with bugs, and rain. The fact of tenting is that tents have gottenmuch stronger over the years. When purchasing a family cabin tent, or a family dometent, check out the construction of it. Is there double seam stitching? Are the grommetsreinforced? Are the poles flimsy or heavy duty? What type of mesh does the tent have?Take it all in so you know the tent is capable of handling 4 to 5 people without any problems.3. The Overall DesignAfamily cabin tent can come in a few different configurations. There are basically three shapes that all tents will come in. Most tents will come as an 'A' frame construction.These tents have two sides raised at the ends with a flat back and front. The sides aresloped towards a peak forming an 'A'. This design does not work well for larger families.Then there are the “walled” styled tents which have poles at each end and also sometimesin the middle. For a large family, this type of family camping tent provides a lot of roomand storage. Many times these wall tents will also have separate rooms.If you are going camping as a family, the best overall shape to look into is a family dometent. Family dome tents are generally more secure and stable than other tent designs. Inaddition, family dome tents provide better floor space because you do not have a pole inthe middle. You can also extend some tents with additional rooms or vestibule for  privacy, or individual rooms. And best of all a family dome tent is very easy to set up,keep clean, and pack up again.
