Camping Tents

Man Makes Fire publishes outdoor gear reviews. We focus only on high-quality outdoor gear from brands we trust.

For our camping tent reviews, we focus on tents that deliver excellent price-to-value ratios. We use, test, and review tents from reputable tent manufacturers and retailers, including Coleman, Eureka!, REI, MSR, Big Agnes, Cabela’s, L.L.Bean, Marmot, and The North Face. Our focus is helping you learn about which camping tents can be the best tent for your particular camping needs. For instance, do you need a cabin-style tent with a high ceiling and vertical sidewalls? How about a bad-weather tent with a full-coverage rainfly? What about a lightweight camping tent for dispersed campsites? Or a rooftop tent for fast deployment. Each year, we update our guide to the best camping tents with new picks and options to help you choose the best stove for you.
