When trying to consider the best dimensions for a custom tent, every person should have at least 24 square feet of floor space. There should be enough space for sleeping gear, clothes and emergency supplies. If you are going on a long camping trip, you should get a bigger tent to accommodate all the needed items.
The tent should also be long enough so you can fully stretch your legs while sleeping at night. Determine the height of the tallest person in the camping trip and get a setup that will adequately contain him. You should have about 30 inches of space across the tent to house every sleeping bag. There should also be at least 1 x 1 feet of personal space for each camper inside every tent.
You can get dry storage for your personal things. You can also ensure that certain items do not get wet or dirty such as clothes, electronic devices and food. An 8 x 8-foot tent will adequately house two adults. The size of the tent will also depend on the type of sleeping gear you are bringing. You will need bigger tents if you plan to carry air mattresses and pads. Also choose the right spot that will protect the tent from strong gusts and heavy storms.
Some people prefer to bring many smaller custom tents to house every camper comfortably. Some people also carry an extra custom tent to house all their personal belongings. These are easier to position compared to a huge tent especially on uneven surfaces.
