I need help finding a good cheap at least 8 person tent!?




Hailey


I'm having a "camp out" sleepover in my backyard basically so my brothers and my mom and dad can't bug me. I already have a 7 person tent (it only fits 5) and I'm inviting 10 people so then there can be 5 people in each tent so I've looked on amazon and target and none of them are really in my price range and have the amount of space that I want. There is one (the Coleman Montana) but other than that I haven't really found anything. We're all really girly girls too so there has to be at least a little bit of space which is why I want a 7 or 8 person tent. I'm paying for it cause that was the only way I could talk my mom and dad into letting me have 10 girls sleepover in tents that they'd have to buy. Since I just bought a new laptop and iPod I'm kinda low on money so maybe in the $100-125 range would be best.


Thanks!

Answer
Target has other models available. All you need is a simple cabin tent because you are not assembling your tent for bad weather. You will have a fair-weather overnight with your friends in the backyard, so a rugged tent is not needed. All you need is some privacy.

Embark Nine-Person Tent, $155.

The Embark 9-person cabin tent is designed with a screen porch that lets you enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. It has 2 rooms that offer sufficient space to accommodate an entire family. Made from polyester and polyethylene, this tent is weather resistant and flame retardant. Its zippered storm flaps and welded floor seam offer added safety, security and comfort. This cabin camping tent has a D-style door for easy entry and exit. Its color-coded assembly system allows for hassle-free pitching.

Coleman Eight-Person Bayside Tent, $140.

With its cabin-like design and plenty of room to stand and move, the Coleman Bayside 8-person tent gives you the feeling of home at the campsite. Patented hinged door offers quick and easy access inside and out. Designed for any weather with a strong steel and fiberglass frame. Oversized awning gives you extra protection from sun or rain. Plus, welded floors and inverted protected seams keep you and your gear dry. Fits 2 queen size airbeds. Snag-free setup in just 15 minutes.

Which one is good, a dome tent or a cabin tent?

I want to purchase a camping tent for family camping trip. What shape of the tent should I buy, dome tent or cabin tent?


Answer
Free standing domes are typically the easiest type of tent to set up and are great for sandy soil or concrete surfaces where staking it out would be impossible. However in windy conditions these types tend to flop around a lot more and leak more in heavy rains.

Cabin tents offer the most room generally and offer greater design options. Depending on the size of the tent you can have multiple rooms for privacy and screened in porches all kinds of designs are available. I prefer Coleman brands in this category,
