Tent 

It is always important to have a good tent while you camp to keep you dry! Depending on who will be staying in your tent with you will help determine the size of tent you will want. As a rule of thumb, whatever the capacity of the tent says it is, 4 person, 6 person, ect, divide that by 2 to find a more realistic and comfortable experience. 

Here are some great options for tents to get you started if you need to purchase one! 

• Tents that come in sizes 2, 4, or 6 people
 

• Tents that come in sizes for 8 or 10 people
