The Campin Guru

Before investing in a camping tent, it’s important to consider your specific needs. Will you be taking your family out for the occasional wilderness excursion? Or are you more of the adventurous sort who will be going on weeklong hikes through the vast recesses of the forest? Not all tents are created equal, so it’s crucial that you prioritize first and purchase second.

For the avid outdoors enthusiast, a backpacking or mountaineering tent comes highly recommended. Big Agnes tents feature lightweight, sturdy construction that can be assembled and disassembled with ease. Most importantly, these tents are eminently portable. Family campers might prefer a larger, more durable tent.
