A tent is perhaps the most essential component of your camping gear, unless you really don’t mind communing with nature and sleeping out in the open. As tents become more advanced, some experience a bit of sticker shock when it comes to making brand new purchases, but you don’t have to break the bank to get a well-designed outdoor shelter. Here are just a few tents under $200 you can score from SunnySports’ vast selection of outdoor shelters.
Coleman Evanston Screened 6-Person Tent – $152.95 FREE SHIPPING!
Got a big group of family or friends heading out to the woods for the weekend? Coleman’s Evanston Screened 6-Person Tent has plenty of room for everyone. Designed to accommodate up to six adults in sleeping bags or two queen-size airbeds, this tent is supremely easy to set up, with continuous snag-free pole sleeves that make a simple process of sliding the fiberglass tent poles in one side and feeding them through to the other, securing with the attached pole clips to keep everything in place. The mesh roof is perfect for sleeping under the stars without being joined by all the bugs, or in case of rain, the rain fly with window awnings allows fresh air in while keeping moisture out. Tall people can even stand mostly upright in this tent with a ceiling height of 5′ 8″! Covered by a limited 12 month warranty.
Eureka Apex 2 Tent – $94.95 $84.95 FREE SHIPPING!
For couples or just a couple of friends camping together, the Eureka Apex 2 Tent will be a perfect fit. Featuring shock-corded fiberglass pole and grommet assembly, setup can be accomplished in a matter of minutes so you have the rest of the day to do what you please. Twin-track doors on either side of the tent with half fabric and half mesh panels make for easy entry and exit as well as providing optimum airflow, while the rain fly features vestibule wings for added exterior storage and protection from the elements. The interior includes a gear loft, multiple interior pockets, and a flashlight loop so you can keep your most important gear easily accessible. This lightweight tent perfectly embodies simplicity without compromising efficiency and function.
GigaTent MUV for Children – $37.95
Kids’ need for personal space grows right along with them as they get older, so there’s no doubt they’ll get a kick out of having their own tent in the form of GigaTent’s MUV for Children. Designed to look like a military utility vehicle, this tent is constructed from flame-retardant treated polyester walls and floor to keep kids safe, and obviously placed pole sleeves and clips make setup a snap. The graphics of the vehicle doors are where the actual zippered doors open up, with vents on each for proper air circulation. Two transparent plastic windows on the front of the tent add to the imaginary fun your kids will cook up in this super cool tent.
