Is the brand of camping tent important?
Yes and no. The tried and tested brands have developed design technology to keep you safe, dry over the years incorporating customer feedback. Unless you do know about a new brand or it has been reviewed positively by our reviewer’s, it is always safe to choose a well known brand when it comes to buy a camping tent.
What size tent should I buy?
It really depends on your requirements but always knows that the listed capacity for sleepers is only enough for sleeping bags and more often than not, does not give you much room to move about. If you need a spacious tent with some privacy, go for the tent with rooms or get a slightly bigger tent than you need.
I am new to camping and have never setup a tent. Will I be able to setup the tent easily?
Most tents in the market are fairly easy to up. The time it takes to up the tent is usually mentioned on tent reviews. Generally, if it says it can be up in 5 minutes, realistically it may take you 20 minutes to up for the first time. Remember that it is always recommended that at least 2 people set up the tent. This will make the process quicker, easier and also ensure that you don’t rip off the tent if you are pulling from one side alone.

Will I be able to carry the tent in a backpack?
Almost all of the tents come with a carry-bag. Some of the light weight tents are easier to carry for backpacking. Make sure you read the weight of the tent so you are well aware of it when you plan your holiday.
Which tools do I need to take with him to set-up the tent?
Most of the tents reviewed by us don’t require highly sophisticated tools and assemble pretty quickly. We always recommend to keep an ordinary hammer with you so you can make sure stakes are well hammered in the ground. Be careful with the hammer since some of the stakes are made of fiber glass and may break if too much pressure is applied.
What is 3-season or 4-season tent? Which one should I buy?
Most of the camps are season rated. 4-season tents can be used in any weather condition. These are generally made of strong fabric which keeps you warm in colder weathers as well. 3-season tents can be used in all weathers except winters since they do not protect against cold weather and snow. If you don’t plan to camp in cold weathers, we recommend not to go for 4-season camp and get a well ventilated one 3-seaons tent.
