Camping is fun and easy. Common sense and a little knowledge are all that you need. Be prepared and start with the basics.

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.
