Wow! I have never heard of campgrounds supplying tents, pretty useful! Plus, that tent is big! I have fond memories of camping in the summers with my family. We had to bring our own tent although. It frequently rained, lots, however we did not mind. We had a super epic set up that included attaching tarps to the tent, the tarps went over the picnic table which was useful also! We were still able to cook meals under the cover of the tarp and sit there and eat. Fond memories! Plus, we generally went over and met our neighbors who were generally friendly! Some of the campers really have a summer ‘homebase’ set up at the campground! : . (turnipseedtravel.com)
