Up until now my only camping experience was in a motorhome in a state park and that has left me woefully unprepared for our first tent camping experience.
We'll be camping at a 3 day motorcycle rally at the end of October. These sites are semi-primitive with very nice bathroom facilities and food vendors so we won't have to worry about those two things on our first outing. Our first big decision is purchasing a tent. We'll have a large air mattress and all of my photography equipment so we were leaning towards a 6 person tent to have some extra space. My husband is 6'2" and I found a couple of instant cabin tents that looked like he would have room to stand up in them. I've never set up a tent in my life so I'm looking for one that will be easy for the 2 of us to set up and take down.
Aside from the tent, air mattress, and the solar charger for my camera batteries, I have NO idea what else we'll need. I'd like to stick to a fairly reasonable budget. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance from a total newbie!
