Tents

When shopping for tents, there are several considerations that you want to make sure that you take into account. First, you want to consider the size of your tent. Tent sizes are typically conveyed through capacity, rather than by the dimensions of the tent. For solo camping, a 1 or 2-person tent should be sufficient. With a small group, or if you just want a little bit more space for yourself, consider going with a 4 or 5-person tent. Larger groups can opt for one of our 8 or 12-person tents. When deciding on the capacity that you would like, assume that the capacity will accommodate the amount of people listed with a snug fit. If you want your tent to have a bit of room to move around in, it may be better to buy a tent a size larger.

Another consideration when purchasing your tent is to determine what the best use case for your tent should be. At Wayfair, we have numerous tents that serve a wide variety of uses, and not all will be suitable for your next outdoor experience. For lightweight camping and easy assembly, a backpacking tent is a great option, though these tents tend to be smaller. For tents that attach to your car, browse our selection of car tents. For more heavy-duty camping in the rougher elements, our Mountaineering tents are designed to hold up to whatever weather Mother Nature throws at you. Tents designed for the beach tend to be ultra lightweight, and provide a shelter that does not completely close, making them ideal for blocking the sun, but keeping your view of the ocean clear. Finally, for your standard camping experience, browse our recreational camping tents, which provide sturdy shelters that are perfect for campground use.

Wayfair also provides numerous accessories to your tent that help to enhance the camping experience. Footprints are great to lay underneath your tent to prevent rocks and sticks from ripping apart the bottom of your tent. Mosquito nets are available to keep pesky bugs out of the tent when you are trying to sleep. We also have mallets and stakes available, to help keep your tent rooted to the ground when the weather gets a little bit windy.
Wayfair has just what you need for your camping trip. Browse our huge selection for all of your camping needs, and have fun in the great outdoors!
