Backpacking Tents are for people who love to hit the trail for extended periods of time, carrying everything they’ll need for multiple days on their backs. These should be extremely lightweight and durable. Backpackers are generally minimalists and the chosen shelter will typically follow this characteristic by being lightweight and simple sleeping home that is easy to set up.

Tents for camping at a campground where you don’t plan on moving your “home base” around will have different requirements. When staying at a drive up campground, you can look at more luxurious tents for camping that have heavier pieces and thicker material because you don’t have to carry it on your back anywhere! These can easily be less expensive and they can accommodate things like an air conditioner, air mattress, and/or cot.
