best tent for camping with family image
hatorihans
My family is looking to go camping this summer, again, we just got back from tent camping for a couple of days at McGrath State Beach in Ventura and it was actually really great! just a bit on the pricey side though.
I've seen the forest service camp site listings but a lot of their information is outdated and inaccurate. Do you guys have any suggestions, preferably in the SoCal area, details would be great! thanx in advance!
Answer
If you think McGrath is nice, try Carpinteria. You'll never go back. VERY family friendly, loads of fun, beach camping at it's finest.
El Capitan and Refugio are also nice. At this time of year, you'll have to check reservamerica every day to try to find a cancellation.
Note that Leo Carillo State PARK is not on the beach, but on the other side of PCH. I dislike Leo Carillo because the beach is too rocky.
Down South, Doheny is good.
Further south, San Clemente, San Elijo and South Carlsbad are OK, but you have to hike down those steps to get to the beach, then hike back up to get to your campsite on the bluffs. Pretty tiring.
Good luck!

Sometimes I don't get the O-Haters out there. I give a cut-and-paste answer, and get a T-D. I give a custom answer, and get a T-D. I guess there are just haters out there. Trolls. Sheesh.
I actually have a LOT of experience camping on the coast.

How to choose a family base camping tent?
Ivy
I am planning to buy a family camping tent, what things should I consider?
Answer
1. Consider how many people will be sleeping in the tent and if you'll be requiring one or two tents to house everyone. Make sure you have enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Every tent has its dimensions specified on the package, listing how many people it will house and how big it is. If you're looking for roomy comfort, subtract the number of people the tent says it will hold by one or two.
2. Figure out what style of tent will best suit your needs. There are two basic types of tents: dome and cabin. While there are a variety of styles of both, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. A dome tent is easier to assemble, having only two poles for the tent and one for the top cover. Since it's shaped like a dome, you'll give up some space in its height. A cabin tent offers more room since it is built in a square shape, but because it has more poles, it can take longer to assemble and be heavier to carry. If you're looking to house more than four people comfortably and have only one tent, a cabin tent is probably the best option.
3. Consider what extra requirements you need in your tent to properly accommodate you and your group. Do you want an extra attached screen room or a tent with several rooms? Do you have a tall person in the pack that will want to stand up straight while inside the tent? Will you be spending large amounts of time inside the tent? All of these things need to be thought out before you buy a tent. There are many varieties of tents on the market that come at a variety of prices.
4. Think about the area where you will be setting up your base camp tent and what the weather will be like. If you'll be camping in a cold region, you don't want a tent that has a screened top with a liner that allows more air inside. You also don't want a tent that allows little ventilation if you're staying in a hot area.
5. Consider the camping experience of the people you're camping with. If you're a novice camper, you might want a tent that's easy to set up. Generally, the fewer poles you have to deal with, the easier it is to set up and take down and the lighter weight.
