Ground Tents
Camping Supplies Near Me

There are so many things to consider when you’re picking up your first ground tent, or upgrading to a new model- probably more than you realize. Simply picking one spontaneously can lead to a frustrating experience, even if it’s a well-reviewed tent. You need to seriously consider how YOU personally will use the tent, and how it can best suit your needs.

The first thing that you want to consider is the size of the ground tent. You want to make sure that it is large enough for your camping group and any gear that needs to stay inside. Many tents have a maximum capacity as well as a “comfortable” capacity, so think about how cozy you mind getting with your tentmates.

Another thing to consider when choosing a ground tent is the weight and setup conditions. If you can see your car from camp or have a way to carry very significant weights, larger and heavier tents are an option. You may even want to choose a rooftop tent over a ground tent. On the other hand, if you’re backpacking or traveling light through a long hike, you’ll want a simple, light tent.

Think about the types of places you like to camp as well. It’s one thing to practice setting up a tent at home, and another thing entirely to put it up when it’s dark, cold, and snowing. Be honest about your skills and experience, and go with a tent you can easily manage even in unexpectedly rough conditions.

One last major consideration when choosing a ground tent is the price. Ground tents can range in price quite significantly. You may have to compromise on your “wishlist” or save a bit longer to get a tent that will truly accommodate your camping needs.
