Top Camping Tents of 2009
The ideal tent would be one that is light to carry, but will still protect you against whatever the weather might throw at you. Ideally, you want something with enough space for you and your camping buddy, if you have one, plus all of your things- walking gear, bags and so on. It is great to have space in which to sit when you are not sleeping, so either a second room or a sheltered space outside is very handy especially in wet weather. And it should be easy to assemble- whether it is unbearably hot or you are stuck in a storm, no one wants to be struggling with tent pegs and balancing heavy poles.
However, it tends to be a trade-in between very small and light which is convenient or big and heavy which is great once it is up, but difficult to carry to the place you want to be. Lighter larger tents will be significantly more expensive, as will ones tolerant of extreme weather. When it comes to some of the best tents of 2009, it still all comes down to what you want to be using your tent for....

Packing your camping gear and getting you tickets may seem like a breeze when compared to knowing what to wear to a festival, which is almost certainly always a point of contention...

 We have been chatting with Fforest Fields and following them on Twitter for a couple of months now, finding out what's happening at their campsite and learning what makes the site so popular. We are always looking for excellent campsites and trying to find out what makes them so great - we were delighted when Fforest Fields agreed to let us interview them to find out a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes.
