There is no requirement for period tents for anyone (unless specified by the 
roup you choose to camp with).  Most people do try to eventually move to a 
anvass tent for both the aesthetics and the comfort level (canvass breaths and 
ou will usually have more room).  Most encampments will try to keep the modern 
ents off the main drag to help with the overall period look of the area, but 
veryone understand that these tents are expensive, much bulkier to store and 
arry than most moderns and for many people Pennsic is the only time they will 
amp.  
There are many articles about ways to disguise a modern tent (think big slipcover).

Lady Belphoebe and Lord Crimthann, 
   thank you for the advice. I understood,perhaps incorrectly, that one had to 
ave a trad tent to camp with an 'encampment' or you were stuck somewhere way

 have the FCS A-Frame tent, with doors/openings on each side.  I made the poles 
yself, and the center pole, being collaspable in two pieces, and everything I 
eed for Pennsic, fit in my MiniCooper just fine. And I'm a clothes horse.  I 
ecommend it.

Tselmeg,
Where are you camping?  Ponte Alto usually runs an encampment.  Being your first 
ennsic, you would not need a canvas tent for that.  A nylon would do if space 
nd storage are an issue.  The Baronial encampment is perfect for first timers, 
nd even for seasoned Pennsic goers.  It is very pleasant environment and there 
re no requirments for specific style tents.  
Of course, if you already have a group to camp with, and they require canvas, 
hat's a whole different matter.  If what you are looking is canvas that is easy 
o pack, transport and store, I would recomment Fall Creek Sutlers.  Here is the 
ink:  http://www.fcsutler.com/fccanvas.asp
Look at the standard tent wall.  It is perfect for one person (or two although 
ozy), it is canvas, it looks right, and it is less expensive than most of the 
ents you are going to find elsewhere.  You can make your own poles very 
nexpensively.  And because the poles are short (and the center one breaks in 
wo), they are easy to transport and store.
Of course, it is not a ger, if that's what you have your heart set to.  But it's 
 great tent, sturdy, and dependable.  I have seen those little guys withstand 
he worst Pennsic storms, and that's saying something.  
True, they are used very much by the Civ War reenactors, but they do resemble 
any of the period tents anyway, so they look and feel right.  And nothing beats 
amping in canvas.
I hope that this helps.
Regards,
Belphoebe
