When looking for a tent you will see that there are many options to choose from. It can be very overwhelming. I have come up with some key things to keep in mind to help you make the right choice. After reading these tips you should be able to make a decision with no problem.

Deciding on what size your tent will be is the first thing you want to do. How many people do you think will be using this tent? The 6 person tent is designed to sleep 6 people. In many cases this will work out fine but there is always a chance that it won't sleep 6 people comfortably. A rule of thumb I personally use is to think about how many people you have then add room for 1 to 2 more people. If you have 3-4 campers then you will probably want to go with the 6 person tent. By applying this you won't run across comfort problems. Also this extra room will come in handy when trying to fit all your camping gear and supplies in the tent.

Privacy should be another choice when choosing your tent. A 6 person tent can have one room or many rooms. If there will be different age groups camping together I would suggest going with multiple rooms. It mainly depends on your situation and how much privacy you desire. In most cases you will want the extra privacy but if you want to keep a eye on your kids then you will want the one room tent. Everyone will have different camping situations so its really a personal choice if you want to go with the wall dividers.

The last thing to consider is the tents weather rating. Come up with the places where you will travel and what kind of weather you might expect. You will want to have a tent that can handle wind, rain, and whatever weather conditions could be in effect at the location your visiting. Having decent ventilation in your tent is a goal you will want to achieve for those hot humid days. My 6 person tent is a three season tent and it handles spring to fall very well.

The 6 person tent can come with many options but following these simple tips you should have your tent picked out in no time. When it comes down to it the most important part of camping is your tent so you will want one that best suits your needs.
