Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

this is called a 3 season 2 person tent. it is neither. you could fit 2 people in it in an emergency, but it comes with no option for a fly. where to put equip? w 2 peeps there isnt even room for a pair of boots. w 2 peeps in it, both would be sleeping w the tent in their face for the radical slant in the tent wall. this is tent construction 101. condensation w 1 person is unbelievable-like getting rained on. the construction is poor. the fabric started marring (it long ago shredded) after 1 use. the zipper construction is exceptionally poor-it takes 2 hands if u unzip it any more than 1 ft. the flap on zipper gets stuck everytime. the mesh in the tent cannot be covered so any wind what so ever whips down your neck. the rain fly does not cover well enough (YES, IT SHOULD) to leave window flaps open during rain. all seams leaked from day 1. this tent would be good down to maybe 50 degrees which DOES NOT make it a 3 season tent. this tent is worth no more than 50$.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

I ordered this tent while in Afghanistan. I used it within 3 days of getting home for a Webelos campout with my son. Overall, the tent is a good buy for the money. As others have mentioned, it is on the small side. But that is expected with a tent designed for backpacking such as this. It had plenty of space for the two of us, but it would be cramped with two adults. The tent was very easy and intuitive to set up without directions. I also purchased the footprint for the tent.

Overall, this was a good purchase that I'm confident will be "money well spent" down the road.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

The Camp Dome 2 is a great, lightweight, hassle-free tent for casual camping. My wife and I enjoy taking it when we need something easy and fast. Be forewarned, when the tent claims to be a 2-person tent, that means it can *only* hold 2 people...and nothing else. Unless you are the single occupant of the tent, your gear will not be joining you inside. The rain fly is adequate for keeping moisture off your tent, but doesn't extend out to cover any gear placed around the tent outside.

The tent can be set up easily in just a minute and is sturdy and well-constructed. It is about 6 feet long, so if you are taller than that, I would look elsewhere. My wife and I are both around 5'-11" so it is perfect for us. Since the tent holds two people snuggly, the dual doors are great for access. Otherwise, it would be a pain to have to crawl over another person to get in and out of the tent at night.

The tent contains 4 inner mesh pouches for holding gear. There are 5 inner loops in the ceiling of the tent: 1 in the center for a hanging light, and 4 in the corners for affixing a gear loft (approximately 16" x 24", to be purchased separately). Small details – such as reflective material sewn into the zipper pulls in order to easily locate them at night – prove that this tent is well thought out.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

Easy to set up less than 10 minutes. Just use it this weekend to Garner State Park in Texas. 1st night, it rain all night till breakfast. notice small leaks on the seams on each corners but no big deal. This didn't ruin my night sleep, will water proof it at home. The storm that night was pouring and very windy and my tent was very sturdy. Also bought the footprint, glad that I got it, kept my tent supper dry and clean after that storm and the take down was so much cleaner. Didn't even knew that it was going to rain that night. Thanks to some reviews on this item. Can't wait till next time, rain or shine!

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

Bought two of these little domiciles for car camping, for which they are perfect. They take up little room in a car, they're a snap to set up, they are well made. Don't think that you can get two people into one, unless they're kids or two adults who want to be very close. This is probably not a super lightweight backpacking tent, although it could be used on a routine, short backpack. Good tent for the money.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

Great tent for the money. It is durable, easy to set up, waterproof, and windproof. It is about 6' long exactly (which I knew when I bought it) so it's cramped if you're over 6' tall. The stakes it came with are cheap but the tent and tent poles are really nice. It's light but packed, it's a little larger than I was hoping (about 20'' L by 7'' in diameter.)

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

Bought this for backpacking/car or motorcycle camping. I chose a small 2 person so that I could use it either with a partner, or keep all my gear inside the tent solo. I tested it out with another person in the backyard, and it was definitely cramped. There is no way you'd be able to fit any gear in the tent with you, and the rain fly is not large enough to protect packs (even day packs). If I were hiking with someone else, I'd bring a tarp. When I brought it on a solo trip in Glacier, it was perfect, size-wise. I was able to fit all my gear in it, without feeling like I had brought a house with me. I'm 5'8", and I can't imagine anyone much taller than me being very comfortable, unless they slept diaganally, though. But for me, it was fine.
I haven't tested it out in rain or high winds yet, so I can't comment on that. Overall, I like this tent. It's easy to set up alone, a good size (for 1 hiker...), and has handy pouches and loops all over the inside for gear.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 2 Tent:

Just used this tent for a 3 day backpacking trip through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area in Washington. Staying in lake basin's the weather was all but the same. I got to test this tent out in 2 solid hours of downpour, wind after that cleared.
I didn't have an issue with 2 of us in the tent and no condensation whatsoever. The tent was bone dry after all the rain as well.
I would say this tent will hold up well for me and my backpacking needs.
The only thing as an afterthought was that I should have purchased something lighter for solo trips. But due to taking my son or a friend with I needed a 2 man tent option.
Can't beat the price either.
