We know how important it is to find a great tent for camping with toddlers and the family. This is why we strongly recommend you research a number of options first, and determine which family tent will potentially work best for your family and your specific needs.
Not all tents are made the same of course and pricing will vary a lot.
Will you be camping in really cold weather?
We don’t anticipate most of you are and our recommended options for camping tents for kids and family on this page reflect that.
Camping in extreme temperatures with children can be not only challenging but also unsafe, so please be careful in choosing the appropriate tent for such weather.
How long do these tents take to set up?
Not long honestly. First of all, we recommend you plan ahead and arrive early in the day so that you are not rushing.
If you guys arrive late in the day and are about to lose sunlight, you’ll be rushing in trying to get the put the tent up, which could cause problems and issues.
Now, if you have experience putting up the tent, then no problem! Or if you run into unexpected traffic or anything of the sort, you’ll just have to make sure to stay calm and take your time in setting up the tent correctly.
Part of the overall camping experience is setting up the tent, so try to enjoy it. Especially if you have toddlers or kids who want to help, let them! Have fun and make some great memories.
