Shopping for a Family Tent?

Kodiak Canvas Tent Model 6010

As a general rule when shopping for a new tent, get a tent that will accommodate at least one more person than will be using it. For the best weather protection, look for a tent with full rain fly, tub floor, sealed seams and good ventilation.

What Is Your Favorite Season To Camp?

Friday February 5, 2010
Summer is obviously the busiest camping season, and I guess you can attribute that to kids being out of school and warm weather, but there are plenty of campers who prefer to camp when it's cold, and there are even some who would rather do it in the snow. Every season has its own attractions and benefits to backpackers, campers and hikers.

Bridge Bay Campground, Yellowstone NP, WY
Bridge Bay Campground, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming ~ Stephen Hicks"Right on Yellowstone Lake and within easy driving distance to all the Yellowstone attractions. We stayed for 3 nights, and our stay was very relaxing. The weather in Yellowstone this time of year is generally cold and rainy, but that did not stop us from thoroughly enjoying our trip." ~ Steve
