and what is your idea of camping?
Answer
Yes, our family plans to go camping this summer. We currently have a pop-up camper. But, we tent camped for years. Our family's idea of camping is packing up the pop-up camper and the van and heading to any one of the beautiful campgrounds (both private or State Parks) within a couple hours drive from us. We leave the TV behind and spend time taking nature walks, playing games, swimming, biking and eating delicious meals made over the campfire. We have canoe camped, spending 2 days on the river with everything we need in the canoe with us. We also have borrowed my in-laws huge motor home. Canoe camping was a little more rustic than my liking and traveling in the motor home made me sick. For our family right now, the pop-up camper is just perfect for us.

I have a tent, but no instructions.?
Luo
I was about to change my camping equipement especially my tents, I want to buy a tent for each of my 2 sons who are 14 and 16 and I was wondering what kind of tent should I get for them.
I saw these video of pop up camping tents but im not sure about them.
What do you all think about those?
Answer
If you are talking about the pop up tents (about $50) that fold flat like a gignatic frisbee, I have one. A lightweight tent - Good for weekends only.
It took some practice to get the hang of how to get it back in the bag (no joke).
They are good for someone who is biking and wants to carry a light tent. They would also work out for car camping on a weekend if you can hide in your car in case of really, really bad weather.
I actually set mine up inside a large family tent (tent in a tent) to stay warm when overnight temps dropped below freezing. It worked, but then the zippers on the family size tent starting failing and I upgraded my big tent and have not used the small tent since. So I can't comment on how well they hold up in normal use.
