Buying a family tent with care will make you comfortable and keep you safe and happy if it is what makes everyone feel good.
Family tents start at small sizes where you could accommodate only 2 or 3 people and you could get even much larger ones where a family of ten could live comfortably.
The space for ten people to sleep in a tent is not what you think like a spacious room, but in a snug way lying close to each other.
This means that people wouldhave to sleep in the opposite direction with the head of one facing the feet of the other to make sure that all fit into the tent.
So it is always better to buy a tent with a higher capacity - like if there are 6 people buy one for 8, this way there will be more space available for all to sleep comfortably.
A family tent will also need room for keeping everyone?s belongings inside and also a place to put away gear and food stuff and muddy shoes which could make a mess in the living areas.
Camping tents for families In camping tents for families the flaps could be let down and create another room inside the tent itself.
During the day when the flaps are rolled up there is a big room instead of several smaller ones.
This way there is some privacy too.
Some tents also have additional rooms that could be zipped on.
Sometimes if there are too many insects and you are unable eat out doors, you could zip on a porch and eat there to avoid the insects.
During the day time this could give some shade when you want to be outside the main tent.
There are zip down flaps like windows in some tents to give more ventilation to those who are indoors without keeping the main flaps open.
However, bear in mind that the larger the tent you plan to buy the more weight will you be carrying around while camping.
So if you do absolutely need a large tent then make sure that you are traveling by car and not hiking.
For hiking you will need something lightweight and cannot afford to have such a heavy burden on your hands.
