Of course you can buy a decent three-man free standing dome tent that has a bathtub floor, full rain fly that reaches to the ground, and factory installed seam tape for around $ 200-$ 300, which will protect you from insects, rain, wind and grass. Adding an inflatable mattress, a warm mummy type sleeping bag, pillows, blankets, ear plugs, a flashlight, pajamas and entertainment could turn your tent into a luxury home away from home in the outdoors. http://www.rei.com/product/761895
What do you think? Answer below!
All tents have bottoms that keep you off of the grass and most have rain flies to keep the rain off. If you have water on the inside of your tent, that is condensation from your breath, not rain. There are luxury tents, but to get it for one camping trip sounds a little pointless. The point of camping is to “rough it”, not go on a vacation (I shouldn’t really say that, since some camps are a vacation, but not normally spent in tents).
I saw someone once that brought there gear in a small utility trailer. Then they set up the most unusual tent space I have ever seen. The tent was very big, but it is what they did on the inside that was unique. They brought a blowup bed that sat as high off the ground as a regular bed. Then they brought end tables, lamps that used batteries, and a portable closet and a throw rug too. It looked just like a regular bedroom. it was amazing.
yes but they can be expensive
Whats the point of going then
