Hi there!

I have a big family and when we do our big leisurely camping trips, we always use our 8-person 2-room camping tent. The best I’ve found (and the best deal out there in my opinion) is the Columbia Cougar Flats II. It’s a 15′ x 10′ dome tent with two rooms and space for up to eight people – though in my opinion, eight people would be terribly cramped in there. I’d say six max, which sounds perfect for you.

It utilizes the GoBe Dry System to keep all the moisture out in it rains – probably won’t be much humidity in the desert, so you’re fine there. It has a full seam-taped polyester fly with a waterproof coating as well. The frame is a hybrid steel and fiberglass which I’ve found to be very durable and long-lasting (this baby’s endured the abuse of my family for many many trips now). It is spacious but has lots of storage like pocket pouches, hanging cup holders, lockers and a hanging gear loft.

Make sure you do plenty of research to find the tent that suits you best, but this would definitely be my recommendation. It’s worked great for me and my family. If you need any other camping tips or ideas, check out my new camping blog:

Comment on Winter Camping Tips – The Tent by PrinceMyshkin82

It helps to thaw …
It helps to thaw the tent zipper when it’s frozen on super cold mornings. Otherwise the zipper will begin seperating, similar to when it gets sand in it. A tent helped enormously on Appalachian Trail thru-hike begun in winter (Feb. 4, 2001). It helped break the windchill, which really helped because there were some super cold nights.

Comment on I would love to go tent camping. but have a lot of allergies. Are there any tents that would keep all that out by Ontheotherhand

You can cook on propane stoves, and have almost no fumes. When you sit around the fire, sit upwind. I love wilderness camping in N. Canada. Up there, hardly anybody has trouble with any allergies. Setting tents up 50' upwind from fire and cooking area cuts down smoke and fumes to almost zero.

You're out of luck, just take strong allergy medicine.

Pretty much defeats the purpose of tent camping!

Try taking a caravan with you as well. OR If you go to an outdoor shop they can advise, get a tent you would take to Africa, That would have to be a full proof tent. Good luck and enjoy
