3 Budget Quality Camping Tents

Quality camping tents can be cheap. Yes. Cheap. You don’t always need to buy a tent from hundreds and hundreds of dollars that are offered by top brands. Me, personally, i am using a tent from Decathlon that i bought for $99.00. An amazing 3 person Quechua tent with a lot of performances.
There are couple of things that are important when you buy a tent. Things like wind resistant, heat resistant, waterproof and a good ventilation.
Here are top 3 favorite budget camping tents.
