best 4-person tents for camping image
Adela
I am planning a camping trip with two friends. We need to buy a camping tent but I don't know what size of the tent is suitable for three people. I did a little search online and someone said should choose a tent which can accommodate two more person because there must be some space for the camping equipment. Is this true? Is a five man tent a little larger for three?
Answer
A five man tent is just fine. I do a lot of camping and I use a 2-3 person tent for just me, and a 4 person tent when I take the wife and kid along.
Unless your back country camping you can't go wrong with getting a bigger roomier tent.

I have zero camping gear and want to take a family of five camping at at state park. What do I absolutely need. Also, what should I avoid taking or doing? Thanks.
Answer
at a state park? I'm assuming your going to be camping at a campground and going in by vehicle, right?
here's a list:
- a propane stove(since your going with a car or truck, size shouldn't matter, coleman's make a nice double burner for a reasonable price(20-30 bucks)).
- a couple tents, make them both 4 person tents, one for you and your wife and the other one for the kids, really nice to have some privacy, even on a family trip.
- good cookware- a two frying pans, maybe of varying sizes and a normal sized pot, and accessories like a spatula and large serving spoon
- paper plates and utensils
- food that won't spoil easily like cured meats, dried foods(noodles, jerky, dried fruit).
- sleeping bags appropriate to the average conditions in the area you'll be camping at.
- blankets for everyone in case the weather turns cold all of a sudden(happened to me, horrible night)
- a couple good knives, never know when they will get useful
- some toys and balls like a football, soccer ball, etc.
- maybe some books for when things wind down.
- a radio
- depending on where you are, but a bear can, good for two things, keeping the bears and other wildlife away from your camp and keeping bears away from your vehicle(they've been known to break into cars in yellowstone and other parks for food).
