If you're the type of camper who likes to "rough it" at a campground type environment then you will not be so worried about the weight of your tent. More than likely you will be more concerned with the size of the tent that you choose, a two man tent will usually be to small and uncomfortable for two adults and all their gear, although a two man tent is typically perfect for kids who need or want their own tent. Those who are experienced with camping will tell you that you'll want to look for at least 30 square feet of floor space minimum, per person. It is suggested that you take the number of people a tent says is its capacity is and divide that number by 2. If you're traveling with young children you will definitely want to look into a larger model of tent such as the Wenzel Sycamore 3 Room Family Dome Tent. You'll want to have a much larger area inside your tent when sharing a tent with your children, especially as you may experience some nasty weather that may leave you with the children stuck inside the tent for long periods of time. It is advised that they had an area to play board games and other activities to keep them engaged. Additionally a larger tent will give you ample of room to store equipment if unpleasant weather strikes.
