Cherokee Camping Tent For The Adventure-Lovers

By William Bell


For those of you yearning to spend time in the outdoors, camping tents are a must have and a worthwhile investment. Camping gives you the wonderful opportunity to be with nature and soak in all its grandeur. Those who regularly camp usually invest in superior quality camping tents. Buying tents is a challenge if you do not know what to look for when you buy camping tents. Cherokee camping tent is the place you are going to rest in to protect yourself from animals and harsh weather conditions; so it is extremely important to choose one with care.

Personal preferences dictate the size of your camping tents. It is important to check the height specification before deciding, since this will determine whether you can sit, kneel or stand inside your canopy. If you need to stand in your canopy it is best to purchase a canopy at least 7' high. On the other hand some people want to be close and cozy therefore will require a much smaller canopy. However, it is wise to purchase a canopy greater than your anticipated needs.

Camp tents can be ridge tents with ridges on both sides sloping towards the ground - these are easiest to set up and can accommodate as many as three individuals. The larger types are the frame tents built with crisscross poles with a vinyl covering for the top secured by pegs and ropes.

Camp tents come in four basic shapes: A-Frame tents are freestanding, lightweight, simple construction and offer good ventilation. They are normally small and sleep two to three people, but floor space is poorly utilized. Dome tents are constructed from a canopy pole frame and lightweight fabric. They are simple to erect and are freestanding, utilizing guy ropes to keep the canopy in place. They have a large internal space.

The moment when you decide to go to camp, the atmospheric conditions bring about a big difference, only if you have arranged a camp trip at a very cold location, you can try out a three season canopy. Tents must have adequate ventilation to avoid the feeling extreme discomfort during the warm weather.

Most domes these days are made of rip-stop nylon or a blend of polyester and cotton. There are still a few canvas domes made, but since canvas can be very heavy, it is rarer. The advantages of nylon and poly-cotton are that they are very lightweight. Also beneficial with nylon and poly-cotton is that these materials are quite rain and weather resistant. Particularly if you put on the rain fly, it is unlikely that you will get rain inside your dome.

Buy camp tents which are relatively simple to erect especially if you are a first-time camper. The canopy you buy should ideally not take you hours to set up or dismantle. When out for camp with kids, buying a second canopy makes sense - this will give them a place to play in and can be used doubly to store children's toys, food and other clothing. Ensure that your canopy supplies are of good and long lasting quality, preferably with aluminum or fiberglass poles.

Four Season or All Season Tents are basically three season tents that are better equipped for winter use. They are usually constructed with four poles for excellent stability under heavy winds and snows. Four season tents are the most versatile tents available, but they are also cost more than three season tents.
