best tents for family camping review image
Alive and
There are no reviews anywhere that I can find and I would like to know if anyone has used it, especially in the rain, before I buy it. It says waterproof but really, there's nothing like personal experience to really tell you how waterproof it is. Any reviews would be much appreciated :)
Answer
That is a fairly new product so no reviews, Its a price beater so assuming it then is a low end quality product. The tent is heavy so it is not meant for back packing. Its is on the small side for a three man so two really would be the max and ventilation looks poor. With so many better quality tents even in the same price range the risk to being a satisfied customer is entirely up to you.
here are a couple of articles on how to choose a better tent

Do you have any tips for new campers?
Q. We are new to the camping scene and were wondering if there are any good suggestions for us, ex: places to camp, things to bring, how to avoid a terrible experience...
Answer
We went camping for the first time this year as well. My tips -
1. Just try out 1 night at first - it will be easier to handle.
2. Take plenty of warm blankets - nights outdoors can be cold!
3. Make a camping list and pass it around to friends who have done it to review - they may add tips, suggestions
4. Going out with another family helps - you can do dinner and they do breakfast - that way it is easier on you and more fun as well.
Some items from my list -
tarp, tent, camping chairs, sleeping bags. blankets, bug repellant, first aid kit, flashlight, propane stove, match sticks, saucepan, frying pan, firewood, lighter fluid, dish soap, scrubber, paper plates and cutlery, cups, bowls, napkins, paper towels, aluminium foil, clingwrap, knives, chopping board, trash bags, toilet paper, BBQ tools, kettle, serving spoons, ladles, sunscreen, towels, baby wipes (which are useful for almost everything!), icebox, salt n pepper and any food & drink items that you prefer.
Try borrowing the major items from friends if you can - you may get an idea of how it is and then decide if you want to do it more often. We loved it.
And finally good luck!
