and family camping tents were very heavy but comfortable with 6foot tall walls zip up clear plastic windows you could sit through some bad storms while sipping a warm cup of coffee in comfort.

When the first family camping tents emerged, it was not unusual to have to pass through the first room or two to get to the back and regardless of who took the front room, they were disturbed by every exit and entry by the ones in the back. Families with small children appreciated this feature but as the children grew older, they wished there were other entries.

New Style Tents Are Lighter

Today, family camping tents can be bought with an entrance in the front as well as the back allowing more separation between campers and a place in the center of the tent for more people or for storage if supplies and clothing. A floor on the tent helps keep the occupants dry during rainy weather and allows everyone to have a certain degree of decorum in getting dressed in the mornings.

Newer styles of family camping tents are some what smaller but also a lot lighter and can provide a separate visual space with up to three, and some cases four separate rooms, all connected in one tent. Although they offer virtually no separation for noise, they can still allow some family members to feel separated enough to relax.

With the available of multi-room, large family camping tents there is no reason to give up on something everyone enjoys just because the kids outgrew their pup tents.

For the most part family camping tents can be extremely useful for large families that enjoy camping out frequently. However, due to their price buying one for occasional use only may not be a good investment. Numerous campgrounds as well as rental companies offer family camping tents for rent at a reasonable price, which is considerably lower than buying one that may be used once or twice as well as stored until the family decides to sell it.
