Ridge tents are the most basic of pop-ups. They are similar to military tents offering ample headroom for a more comfortable sleep.

Frame Tents are large and roomy and are able to accommodate larger families. These are also made of sturdy frames and are held down with rope and tent stakes. Frame tents can sleep up to as many as ten people and hold your gear as well. Many of these tents come with holes for electrical cords allowing you to have power inside and keep the bugs out and some are even equipped with lights built right in.

Dome Tents are a favorite of families or groups of campers as these types of tents have more than one room and can generally sleep up to 10 people as well. This is great for families as the adults can have their own room as well as the children having their own room.

These types of tents, like the frame tents, are equipped with a storage space for your gear to help keep it out of the way; and safe.
