What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is roomy and easy to set up, with color-coded poles, and OutdoorGearLab rates it a good large family tent for the money. The tall walls catch wind, and The Good Ride wanted more ventilation and side reinforcement. Gadling found door zippers snag on the fabric flaps. Several reviews point out that the vestibule and footprint cost extra, and owner ratings on REI are mixed.

Good

  • Standing room
  • Easy setup
  • Lots of floor space

Not so good

  • Not great in strong wind
  • Vestibule and footprint cost extra
  • Door zippers can snag

Who it's for

Families who car camp in sheltered sites and want a tent they can stand in. Campers at windy, exposed sites should pick a lower, sturdier tent.
