A camping tent is any kind of temporary residence you take with yourself to stay fairly comfortable even in wet or cold conditions. A tent also offers protection from the elements – it is like a house in this way. It keeps the hot sun off of you, it keeps rain and snow away, it keeps insects away.
This makes a tent almost the first thing people take with them when they go camping, because it provides shelter – something you cannot survive without for a long time on your own.
Tents come in all sizes, and while some are designed for a solitary traveler, others are made for up to 10 people and will easily hold a traveling family going for a hike in the woods. Therefore, you will have plenty of variety to select from. There are also many other things to consider, like window size and style, zipper quality, number of doors and material of the walls.
Which is why we compiled this list of 7 best tents, adding the best models with the best price. There are tents of all sizes here, and a very small tent and a large one are included. This list will help you make a wiser choice in the future, since you will know what a good tent is.
