Frequently Asked Questions

What size tent do I need for camping?
A 2-person tent fits one camper plus gear. 4-person tents are ideal for two adults with space. Choose 6–8 person tents for families or group trips.
What’s the difference between a backpacking tent and a camping tent?
Backpacking tents are lightweight and compact for hiking. Camping tents are larger, easier to set up, and provide more interior comfort for car camping.
How do I protect my tent floor?
Use a ground cloth or footprint under your tent to prevent abrasion, punctures, and moisture seepage.
Are canopies and screen rooms waterproof?
Most are water-resistant and provide shade and bug protection. For full waterproofing, choose models with sealed seams and coated fabrics.
