Tent Camping !!

by Angela Ballard





camping is probably the most enjoyable and fulfilling activity to do with your family. This is so because it brings the whole family together to not only have a good time, but also to instill responsibility through each member’s participation and emphasizes the importance to all of us in respecting and caring for the environment as well.







As a general rule there are two different types of campers RVer’s and tent campers. This article has been written for those who don’t mind ‘roughing it’. Although it seems overrun by the latter, tent camping is still quite popular among many families and this piece will hopefully be of use whether you are a first time camper, or a highly seasoned veteran of canvas and cord. It will touch on some of the options that you as campers have in the way of family tent types, colours, and brand names and will offer suggestions on other camping accessories as well



By far, the most popular name in anything pertaining to camping has got to be the Coleman name. A little over a century ago a man in Brockton, Alabama who went by the initials W.C. Coleman made a drastic change in careers when he switched from selling typewriters door-to-door to inventing the first reading lamp powered by gasoline. Along with all of the accessories that this company offers its customers, Coleman also has some outstanding family tents out on the market too. For instance, their ‘Montana Big Sky’ is an attractive set up in blue and white. Its 16 by 7 foot frame will sleep 4 to 5 people very comfortably and there is also a 7-person model available in orange and gray for slightly larger family groups. The pricing ranges from $180 – $300 depending upon where one is purchased. The Coleman family tent is arguable one of the best family tents on the market, but there are also other brands that will do just fine.






Camping tents don’t take up much space, and are normally easy to transport and carry. Most camp tents even come with their own carry bag that holds everything you need to erect your campsite once you have decided to stop for the night. You can even carry it with you on a hike and travel along hiking trails to destinations that can only be seen by walking their on foot. Imagine finding that perfect spot along an inland pond or lake that is secluded, lush vegetation and a great place to swim or fish and you have with you a camping tent.
