There are many different kinds of camping tents available. You just have to know what kind of camping that you intend on doing. If you plan on backpacking then you will want to purchase a lightweight 1 to 2 person tent. If you are taking your family to a campground then a family camping tent for 4 or more people should be adequate. If you are planning on camping during the harsh winter months, then nothing but a 4-season tent will do.

3-season tents are usually made for 1 to 8 people. Sometimes weight is a concern, say for backpackers, and sometimes weight is not a concern, for instance, families. 4-season tents are typically made for rugged conditions and weight is usually a factor as well.

Light Year 1 (2008) 3-Season Backpacking Tent

With a packed size of 19" x 5" and a feather-light trail weight of 2 lb. 11 oz., the Sierra Designs Light Year 1 is an ideal choice for lightweight devotees and solo backpackers. Best of all, despite its light weight, the Light Year 1 hasn't sacrificed the construction or features necessary to make it a functional 3-season option. The Light Year 1's 20 sq. ft. of interior space is designed for the solo hiker. Sewn-in pockets serve as interior gear hideaways and a small vestibule provides additional sheltered storage space outside of the main tent body. DAC Featherlite aluminum poles provide the Light Year 1 with support and stability without adding much weight to your pack. Reflective guy lines help to further secure the Light Year 1 and provide visibility when returning to your tent after dark. A dye-free optic white canopy makes the interior of the Light Year 1 more livable by transmitting natural light more effectively. This feature really shines on long, rainy days spent inside the shelter of your tent. The Light Year 1's fabrics have been treated with Sierra Designs Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh, ensuring protection against mold and mildew and extending the life of the tent. Environmentally-friendly PVC-free seam tape protects the interior of the Light Year 1 from moisture and precipitation. If you want to go even lighter, an optional footprint, sold separately, can be attached to the tent fly, eliminating the tent body for extremely light and fast warm weather backpacking or camping. In this fast fly configuration, the Light Year 1 weighs a mere 1 lb. 14 oz.!
