Ive been looking at purchasing an Outwell Tent. My only problem I think I have with them is there isnt no mesh windows for superior ventilation in the summer heat.I know they have ventilation area's but Im not sure it would be enough when it gets hot hear In Southern Ont. Canada. I realize you can open up the panaramic rooms, but then again the bugs... just curious if anyone does have one how well they really do stay cool in our hot summer months. Uk answers welcome too, thanks.

Answer
They are a european tent maker very popular in the UK. Some folks here will pretend to know the product, ie MM,

Never used them myself looking at the different models they have a dome style with very ample windows for ventilation, some are humongous is size so definitely a car camping tent not for back packing at all. Reading the reviews is how you will get real answers from folks that have owned them, check their web site out and find a supplier near you

Here in the America's car camping tent makers that are popular are Coleman, Eureka, and Wenzel and a host of other knock off brands found at retail outlets that sell camping goods. These brand names will be in the affordable class. There are also high end tent makers that make some family sized tents and purportedly you do pay for what you get. Not knowing what your specific need is I will stick to recommending the Coleman line of family tents as these are more like the Outwell brands in comparison

Northern California Camping: Collins Lake or Union Valley Reservoir?

family tent camping northern california image

Taino John

We are trying to have a family get together in July, where we can camp and ride our ATVs. We were looking for a place where everyone could drive to and meet up, that was about an equal distance for the majority of us. Family will be traveling from Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, and California. These two areas appear to be the best locations for our goals. The musts are:

Must be able to ride ATVs in an exciting environment, which suits all skill levels

Must have showers and potable water

Must accept Tents, tent trailers, and RVs

Preferably able to accommodate 20-30 people.

Should offer a variety of activities- biking, swimming, boating, kayaking, etc.

Can anyone tell me about these two places? The good, bad, and ugly? The golden answer would be one that provides a comparison of both places and provides a suggestion.

All answers are highly appreciated!
@ der freak-can you elaborate a little more? The family is making a push for Union Valley. What is not good about it? Thank you!

Answer
I recommend you to camp in the Collins Lake Reservoir.
It has showers and potable water and offers a variety of activities.
The Union Valley Reservoir is not very good.
