I wanted to find out what the best tent is for going camping. I am a mum of three but my husband is not interested in going camping but I want my three children to be able to experience camping even if it is for just a short while. I also need to find a tent that is roomy enough say 3 'bedrooms' and easy for me to put up. I am also on a budget so it can't too expensive it just needs to be practical and easy for me to sort out.
Hope someone can help me on this.
Answer
How old are the kids?
I assume you will be car camping. You will want something larger than a 4 person tent, especially in the summer. You should think along the lines of a 6 person tent that has one airy room.
The 3 room tents are hot. Air does not circulate as freely and the individual rooms are small.
Depending on the age of your kids, you may want to consider two smaller tents instead of one big one.
In any case, there are some guidelines one should follow when purchasing a tent.

Answer
There are some great campsites in Seaside. That is a great place to go camping, as there is a boardwalk there with games and rides. We went camping there about 3 years ago and had the time of our lives. Unfortunately, I do not recall the name of the campground, but I found it on Recreation.gov. It was within a mile or two of the ocean. Definitely the place to go in the Northern coast area. Skip Lincoln City-it's over hyped and the only thing that is there is the outlets malls.
Newport would be another great place to go but I have only stayed in a hotel there. It's my favorite place to go on the coast, but is about 3 hrs south of Seaside. You can access the beach, there's the Oregon Coast Aquarium, The Hatfield Marine Science Aquarium, Nye Beach, The Bay front area that has the Wax Works Museum, The Undersea Gardens, and Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
I have never been there, but there is a OHV riding area by Tillamook, known as Sand Lake. This is probably your best bet for beach camping. Very few campgrounds are located right on the beach in Oregon, but the ones that are, are usually private, members only places or at the Dunes Recreation Area in Lane and Douglas County.
Good Luck and have fun.
