Camping is a great way to vacation. It's a cheap alternative to the hotel/motel, and enjoyable at the same time. The first thing you think about when you prepare for camping is probably your tent. How much do I want to spend? How large does it need to be to accommodate me or my family? Do I want a popup trailer, or pole tent?

We picked out a tent that looked good; because we were going to camp at different places.

We sat inside the tent for a little, but water started puddling on the floor, and coming through the fly. At the next site, a tent pole connector split. Luckily, we fixed it with some wire, then slid it back into place:
As you can see, picking the right tent is very important. I have put this site together to help you navigate the maze of tents available.
