There are all kinds of hobbies out there that people enjoy. One of the most popular is going camping and it is one of my favorite. Naturally as a Canadian, we have plenty of great outdoor spots we can enjoy anytime of the year. Whether being used for team-building, building a bond between family members, on vacation, or just being an excuse to reconnect with nature, many people like going camping. One of the most important items to take for the trip is the tent. However, not all tents are equal. There are many different types and kinds of various needs and environments. Keep reading to learn more about them so that you can find the best tent for you.

Whether you are going camping alone, taking the a few friends or even taking a huge family, there is a tent out there that can fit your needs easily. You can find one that is just for one person. You can also find them for multiple people, such as 2-, 3-, and even up to 10-person tents. You can also get the bigger tents even if it’s just you or a few people if you need extra storage for your supplies.

Materials are also important, as the different types of tents are made with different materials that offer various types of protection. Polyester, canvas, and nylon are some of the most popular. Polyester works best in prolonged sunny areas, canvas is the heaviest and most durable, and nylon is the lightest for mild climates.

There are different shapes available, too. One of the most popular is the dome shape because they are easy to assemble and disassemble thanks to their often flexible poles. You can find these as small as 2-person size all the way up to 9-person size.

Square cabin tents are also a popular choice for outdoor trips. They are one of the best options for base and established campgrounds. This simple design is a very comfortable option due to its high ceilings, vertical walls, and rigid structure. Due to the extra space for everything from cots to chairs, they are perfect for large group or family trips.

If it is assembled correctly, the tunnel tent is one of the most reliable options for a camping trip. This one has poles that run its entire length. It also offers a lot of headroom and space inside. The main durability and construction of this tent are to be pitched if there are sudden high winds.

As you can see, there are many options when it comes to finding your ideal camping tent. You need to consider the type of material, the number of people going on the trip, along with how many supplies you plan on bringing, where you plan to camp, and the type of climate you can expect where you camp.
