Camping is an activity which is enjoyed by most of us but we cannot do it as frequently as we would like. But whenever possible we never miss an opportunity especially during a long weekend or summer holidays to escape into nature and have a good time with the family and children.

Camping Tents have to be chosen according to the amount of protection you need and the amount of people it needs to hold. A simple tent can be used for carrying out basic activities in and storing your equipment as well as providing you protection against rough weather conditions such as rain, snow and hot weather.

You should check out the strength and the resilience of tents by deciding whether they are waterproof and weatherproof enough. The tents should have enough windows to allow air circulation and good ventilation. You should also check out their guy lines, runners and stability straps which should be strong enough to face tough weather conditions.

You will also be able to find family tents which can accommodate more than 5 people. Well designed family tents have large zip up curtains, mesh curtains for extra protection and pre bent poles ensuring that individuals in the tent have extra head space for moving around. The inner lining should allow air to circulate within the tent and people should be able to move in and out easily through an adjustable flap.

Similarly, if you are going out a on special hiking or a trekking expedition, you may need an extra place to store your special equipment such as bicycles, hiking tools, fishing poles and other related accessories in order to protect them from harsh weather conditions. Utility tents are designed specially for such purposes. They turn out to be the right solution for storing extra luggage and essentials.

When shopping for camping tents and family camping tents, do make sure you buy enough pegs, mallets and clip mallets which are required for fixing the tents firmly on the ground. You will also be able find suitable glow in the dark pegs which allow you to check your tent during the night. If you are environment conscious, you can also opt for bio degradable pegs made of potato starch which dissolve after few weeks leaving no harmful trace behind in the ground and therefore not prove harmful in any way or to anybody.
