waterproof family camping tents image

Ya know.... in the morning????
We're going camping this weekend with the WHOLE family, just like we do every year, but this time we are bringing our 7 month old son.
We live in Washington... and our weather's been especially bad this year. But hopefully it'll be nice this weekend.
Anyway. I guess a lot of what gets into the tent is condensation, but is there any way to keep it dryer?
Oh... AND we're the only ones in our family using a tent.. everyone else has a camper. :(
Answer
If the problem is mostly condensation, the the ventilation is not adequate. If it isn't raining, open up the window flaps more so that the humid air can escape. Make sure the top vents are not obstructed, if there are any.
Much of the humidity occurs simply from your breathing.
As for rain, standard waterproofing methods.

If so, where can you buy them. I was looking at a set. It is called. Columbia Peak Expedition Camp Set. It is great because it includes everything you need. More companies should do this. How do you know what type of footprint to buy?
Answer
many tents are available that come waterproof with rain fly.
Most tents that have footprints available have them as a separate option. You can always cut a footprint from 6 mil plastic
Of the tents at REI, the only family type tent I saw that had a footprint available was a Big Agnes
most of your backpacking tents have them available for added cost
