When I went camping this summer. I had just gotten off work and drove to this campground. When I got to the campground I was so tired but that one person tent was easy to put up and kept by dry and I glad I use it every time I go camping.
As I am the type of person who has zero patients for putting up tents and things I enjoy using my one person tent, which pops up easily right out of the bag you really do very little work to get it all together. This saves me time, energy and hassle so I am able to enjoy the outdoors more and focus on getting those smores together by the camp fire.
When you’re going camping with a group that’s not too small, but not enormously large either, it can sometimes be worthwhile to check out larger tents, especially if this is a group you plan on camping with frequently. There are a lot of types of tents with many different sizes, usually measured by how many people they are said to fit. If you’re camping with these same people frequently, it could be a good money-saver to buy one large tent and split the cost evenly between each member of the group.
For instance, with an 8 person tent, splitting the cost with seven other people is going to be a lot cheaper than buying a tent for yourself, or even buying a slightly larger tent that’s yours alone that’s meant to house more people. Compare it with the idea of moving into an apartment; if you move in with roommates, you can often get a larger, nicer apartment or home depending on how many roommates are moving in, without having to pay much extra costs. This idea can also apply to camping.
