Family tent

Does anyone want to share their family tent stories with me.  We are in the market and I am looking for advice on what to buy.  We have two boys 5 & 3 and are going camping over summer.  We know ventilation is a key factor, but has anyone loved or hated their tent??

I found a great article online, but half the tents aren't made anymore.  So I was hoping to learn from other peoples experience.  And I think family camping is so different to couples camping.

thanks

Jodi

Re: Family tent

Friends that I go camping with brought this oztrail one from BCF earlier this year. http://www.oztrail.com.au/tents/dome_sportiva_islander.php

They have a 2 yo and a 6yo, and they loved it. There are heaps of doors and awnings that can be opened to allow airflow and there are also roof vents.

Re: Family tent

When i was little we use to go camping every year. We had an enourmous tent. It was a 3bedroom tent with a veranda. I cant explain how big it was but it did take well over an hour to set up. We loved our tent, it was very roomy, kept us warm at night if it was cold and kept us cool if it was hot. Seperate room tents are the way to go when you hav ekids, that way they can go to bed at a decent time still without you waking them up when you go to sleep.

Hope you have a fun camping trip

Re: Family tent

I love camping and we try and go every summer hannah is now 14m she was only 9m when she first went camping i thiught it was going to hard but it all worked out well as i have also got a 17y i didnt start taking him until he was 5 and he loved it we always had so much fun.

Mind you have have to be prepared and orginization is the key.  I have a four man tent wich has 4 rooms and every room has a window then it has like a kitchen room.

Happy camping hope all goes well lisam
