Camping Tents
Before You Choose
Choose a camping tent or shelter based on how you plan to use the covered space. Family tents are better for sleeping and gear storage, screen tents help create a more comfortable sitting or dining area, and car awnings or tarp shelters add shade beside your vehicle. Check the setup size, ventilation, weather guidance, and included frame or pole requirements before choosing.

Check the ground surface, setup area, included parts, ventilation, attachment points, stakes, guy lines, and weather conditions. Set the shelter on stable ground and make sure all support points are secured before use.
