Spending a night out under the stars makes for a beautiful and peaceful summer activity. You donât need a big cabin or a camper, either. You can spend a lovely trip in a simple tent. Todayâs modern tents are a lot nicer than the ones you may be used to. They can be divided into rooms, have high-tech, waterproof and wind proof fabrics, and connections for lights and fans. Sleeping capacity Choose a tent with plenty of room for you and your family. You may consider increasing your tent capacity by at least one person if you or your family are people of size, are claustrophobic, toss and turn at night, need more room to sit or sleep comfortably, or if youâll be bringing small children or dogs.
