Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

This tent is the one our scout troop picked as our only tent for all our camping excursions. We camp every month of the year and need a tent that can get us through the Idaho weather without too many concerns. We currently own 12 of this model and it has served us well so far. We even use it as our backpacking tent by distribution of the parts between a couple scouts. It is simple to assemble, there aren't too many parts to get lost or broken, it is durable, comfortable, and REI stands behind it.

First outing was to house my son and I through a pretty good thunderstorm. The tent performed great. Plenty of wind and rain and the tent protected us very well. Awesome gear.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

I bought this the day before going on a 10 day car camping trip in the Smokey and Blue Ridge Mountains. It rained 7 of those days steady and I never got wet inside this tent. Set up was easy and intuitive, less than 15 minutes always. I never noticed the poles bending even after being set up for 5 days straight. Roomy enough inside for a cot and camp chair to be comfortable fit. So glad I bought this on impulse!

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

The tent is very easy to set up and the rainfly worked great in a downpour. We were under trees with no wind. Worked perfect for two car camping with lots of room for other gear inside. Only downside is that it is not good in windy conditions, too high at the peak. No idea why 6 stakes were not included with the tent, as you must have 6 stakes when you add on the rainfly. We used our extra stakes from our old tent, otherwise the downpour event would have gone wrong.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

Simple tent that is roomy and fits the purpose of backyard camping. The first time we used it, we experienced a torrential downpour. The bathtub base held well but the seams on one of the corners leaked. We used this tent frequently in hot desert weather. It stood up to heat but failed when it comes to windy conditions. During a trip to Badlands National Park, we pitched it in open wind swept area. After 2 days, the poles were permanently bent. When we brought the poles back to the store, the staff told us that we selected the wrong tent for our purpose. The poles had to be repaired at our expense. If we had known that this was a light duty tent, we would not have bought it.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

I've camped for over 25 years but have always been a "+1" in friend's tents and this is my first purchase. It is the perfect tent -- small enough for back country camping but roomy and comfortable enough that you can throw an air mattress inside when car camping.

As I was setting it up (totally intuitive and easy) the guy at the next camp site said hello, told me he worked for REI and asked what I thought of it. He was almost as happy as I was that it was my first tent.

Love it.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

I have used my Camp Dome 4 for three years, and a total of 30 times. That may not seem like heavy use for some people, but I have never used a tent as much as I have this one. I've used it frequently in large groups where many - hundreds even thousands of people have to set up tents several days in a row (RAGBRAI). When you have to get up at 4 am and tear down your tent 7 days in a row, then set it up again later the same day, you want a tent that goes up and comes down easily. I can set up or take down this tent in 5 minutes or less by myself. Unlike some of the reviewers, I didn't experience any pole or construction problems for years, in fact weathered several rainstorms in it. I've never once gotten wet in the Camp Dome 4, and on hot days and night the terrific ventilation it provides has been great! After three years I did start to experience some pole issues, very recently after a severe thunderstorm with high winds. One of the poles cracked, but the tent made it through the night and kept me dry anyway. I repaired the broken pole with a sleeve that was provided, but decided that after serving me for three years it is time to get a new tent. I should say that many tents in the group I was with didn't survive that storm, and many people had to get out of there tents during the storm to deal with one tent issue or another. In the morning following this storm, many tents were piled in the garbage. My tent survived the night, and the week. I'm considering the same tent again, or possibly the Base Camp 4 model. Since this tent served me so well, REI tents have won me over.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

I've used this tent a handful of times over the last couple years and after this last camp out, it is worthy of a review and 5 stars. The rain started as soon as we reached camp. When there was a pause from drops we all jumped out and set up our tents and set up camp and I had mine up in a matter of minutes and set it up by myself while everyone else had at least 2 people working on each tent. My daughter and I were inside the tent before the next rain spell. Unfortunately the rain didn't let up much and for the better part of our 3 day 2 night stay there, it just poured. Others got wet IN their tents - various brands and sizes - but ours kept us dry the entire time. I do have and use(d) the foot print for this tent.

I have yet to notice any pole issues but have read the negative reviews of such. My tent has taken a beating on more than a few trips, this last one being the worst. It's held up for me.

When I put the tent away, I roll up the poles in the center so that they're protected by the tent and fly. Maybe that has something to do with the pole integrity.

I like that the fly jets out a little bit over each door, providing a small 'vestibule' area, but my first of two complaints on this tent is that I wish the fly jetted our further, more like a 2-man or other back packing tent would - I like having a vestibule area where I can leave a pack or my shoes and not worry about them getting wet - can't do that with this tent, things left outside the door will get wet.

I use this for me and one child and all our gear for the trip. It's spacious for us. I think a 2-man is great for 1 person or 1 adult/1 child, and a 4-man is great for 2 people. Add a third person and I would feel it was too crowded.

Second complaint is not a lot of ventilation with fly on and once off, too much visibility into the tent, but because we were getting dumped on this last trip, I didn't have a chance to take it off - just unzipped both windows and let the air flow through when the rain gave us a break.

Pros - nice looking, big enough to be comfy, compact enough to not be too heavy, easy set up, roomy, good fly, decent poles

Cons - no real vestibule area, not a lot of ventilation

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

We bought this because we wanted to bring our 2 dogs with us. The inside space was big enough for 2 allagash cots and one big dog crate/bed. It was easy to setup and tear down. The only downside we found was the zipper and door design. The zipper kept getting caught. The bottom portion of the door stops half-way rather than opening all the way to the right side for easier access in and out of the tent. I understand that the door flaps can be rolled and stored on the bottom of the door area, but I just think that the design was a flaw.
