Tents For Backyard Fun

Looking for an uncostly way of providing some summer fun for you and your kids in the warm months to come? Try camping in your backyard! Rather than paying to stay at a campground, select to camp in your backyard on the weekends. Your kids will love the experience!

When thinking about purchasing tents for the backyard, here are some things to consider:

Tents Travel

Number of tents needed: You'll probably want to purchase at least two tents. One tent can be used by you, your spouse and puny children. The other tent can be used by older children. If need be, you might want a third tent so older boys and girls can be separated. Even though the older kids will only be a few feet away, they'll think it's fun to have their own tent. Of policy space is a consideration. Can your yard adapt two or three tents?

Types of tents: For the tent that will be used by you, your spouse and the puny ones, reconsider purchasing a family tent. You want a tent that is large enough for you to certainly stand in, otherwise being hunched over or having to crawl colse to on your hands and knees won't be fun for very long. Dome tents work great for the smaller tents. There's no need to buy super expensive tents. Go to a sell store and you should be able to find what you need. Pick up a merge of plastic tarps to lay down under the tents. This will help keep the floor of the tent from challenging moisture from the ground.

Additional camping gear: reconsider purchasing inflatable mattresses. Not only will the mattresses provide you with best sleep, but they will help keep the sleeping bags dry. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag. For the puny kids, let them pick out a sleeping bag that has their favorite character on it, such as Superman or Mickey Mouse. Each tent needs a flashlight or light and bug repellent.

Arrange the tents so that there is fullness of space to safely have a campfire if permitted by your town or city. Even using a charcoal grill can be fun. After all, roasting hotdogs and toasting marshmallows for s'mores is part of camping!

Family traditions don't have to be super expensive. Start backyard camping in tents with your family this summer and chances are the kids will be begging to campout again next summer!
