I have between 4 to 6 Adults and 2 or 3 small children and 2 cars. (not sure yet). We would like running water, but no electricity is not a big deal. We will be using tents and want to avoid the big RV parks and the commercial places. No Pools, golfcourses, clubhouses, arcades etc. We want our children to experience the rustic NH wilderness while still being safe. If anyone has any recommendations or knows a good place to look please help me out ! Thanks.

Here is the website for Exeter Elms in Exeter, New Hampshire. I have stayed there in the past and it is a top notch operation, Great tent sites on the river, clean showers, and it is close to the beach, Portsmouth, and New England dragway. I was in Ash tenting area #4A . http://www.exeterelms.com/

Is there a car camping tent that is thick enough to stay warm in wind and cold weather?

I want a tent that doesn't have paper thin walls that has windows you can look out of or have zipped up so that you can stay warm. weight isn't really important. I have a Coleman tent now which is great for beach camping but I took it to around 6,000 feet in Yosemite last summer and we ended up having to go stay in a motel the next night because we were so cold. I don't need a three pound backpacking tent. I know I could just get a really nice sleeping bag or something but I wish they had a tent that you could actually hang out in or fall asleep next to your significant other without being mummified. any advice?

Answer
Tents aren't made to insulate, they're really just meant to keep the rain and wind off. What you need is a warmer sleeping bag. They make ones that will keep you warm in a blizzard on top of a mountain, but don't get one of those because you will be way too hot.

See on the left where it has categories and near the middle you can choose by temperature ratings? You probably want one in the zone of 15-29 or 30-39.

But if weight is no problem, like if you're car camping, you can just take a few extra blankets. :) A foam sleeping pad also helps, because it will insulate you from the cold ground.
