In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most common of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
