Answer
It depends on what kind of tented camp you go to. I lived in Kenya for 6 years and every time we went out to a game reserve we stayed in a "luxury tent camp." It's basically a big tent, really nice beds (queen, single, double... you choose). Very nice bathrooms with tile, marble sinks... just really nice. Great service to. The best one was at the Masai Mara (spelling?). It was called Intrepids or something like that. Very nice, great service. Relatively cheap. If you watched Survivor Africa a few years back, it's the camp they stayed in for one of the rewards.

On the flip side, they have some camps that are dirt cheap that REALLY suck.

Either way, be careful.

how to clean a camping tent?







forgot to dry out my tent after last camping trip.now it smells mildew.i've no idea how to clean in correct way.anybody could give some tips?thx in advance.


Answer
Here is some tips to hlep removing that awful mildew stench.
1)Fill the tote with pine-sol and water.Once the tote is full and the pine-sol is added in place of the tent in the water piece by piece.Place all tent and materials in individually including:tent,rain fly,tent poles,stakes,tent bag,and stake bag.
2)Let the tent and its contents soak in the pine-sol solution for an hour or so,ensuring that the tent has had time to absorb the aroma of the pine-sol solution to be a fresh smelling tent.
3)Wring it out to get out the access water.Reassemble the tent in your yard.Spay the tent off with a water hose making sure it is thoroughly rinsed.
4)Let the tent air dry.Make sure that the tent and all the contents are fully dry before you pack it back up.If the tent is still wet you will encounter the same problem and the mildew will return.
5)In the winter or on rainy occasions you can dry the tent in a garage or even inside your home or basement.Sometimes you must seek drying the tent inside.Following these proper care instructions for a tent and keeping it clean will ensure a longer future for the material.
