Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

The Camp Dome 4 is comfortable, roomy, and easy to set up, but after taking the tent down following a 2 day stay, I noticed several slight bends in the tent poles that would bear further examination after the next trip. Following setup on the 2nd outing, I noticed the fly was less taut, actually flapping in the breeze. After take down 2 days later, the fly pole had a pronounced bend, not as a result of bending during set up or take down but simply from remaining set up for 2 days. The tent itself is a real keeper but the poles are of a very soft alloy and much inferior to the poles on my smaller Kelty of a similar design. Bottom line: great tent, lousy poles.

Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

This is the second Camp 4 I have had to return due to bent poles. The tent is used for car camping on both family and scouting campouts. The first time the rain fly pole bent in moderate wind (15-20 mph). The second was the structure poles in 25-30 mph winds. Additionally, the entire tent appeared to bend in upon itself. The tent was staked, but guy lines were not used. I am disappointed; the tent is otherwise a great tent. It is very easy and quick to put up and take down. Better or stronger poles would make all the difference. On to my next tent…

    Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

    My first (and so far only) outing with this tent was a real test. I went on a 4-day cycling tour in the deep South. The 2nd night there was a rain storm. The tent kept me totally dry. I could feel about 1" of water underneath the tent. None inside. The 3rd night the rain storm was accompanied by unbelievable winds--much worse. Lots of rain fell--I heard 3 to 6 inches. There was a tornado in the area--yikes! The wind beat the sides of the tent. Again there was a minimum of 1" of water beneath the tent. A little rain blew up under the fly, but other than that I was cozy--if scared to death! I also like all the little loops inside where things can be hung. Great, great tent.

      Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

      I chose this tent for desert and mountain car camping. I use other tents for more intense situations, although it would probably do reasonably well. One reason I chose this tent was that it did not have vestibules. I have found that vestibules can harbor yucky bugs and things in desert environments. The only complaints I have are that the tent is unnecessarily tall, but I knew this going in, and that the door nets do not go low enough to see out without sitting up. Sometimes I like to keep an eye on things while laying down and you have to unzip the door(s) a little to get a look out while laying down. This could let those pesky carnivorous gnats in. The tent sheds water like a duck. It's maiden voyage was in a sustained rain. It was so bad we almost slept in the car but decided it (and we) had to get wet and muddy sometime. We were nice and dry and ventilation was great. Mild winds were no problem; have yet to set it up in a real ripper. It also has an unusually pleasant and unobtrusive color scheme. REI's colorist designed a beauty! Get the matching footprint to go with it.

      Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

      First of all, it's always a drag to see the tent you bought for [$]dollars. Perhaps it's due to slow sales, which is due to some of the weaknesses of this tent. Quick and easy setup is of paramount importance to me, followed closely by compact stowability. I just spent 11 nights in this tent, in mountains and high deserts, in the Colorado Plateau, at 6 different locations. So it was put up and taken down a few times. It did receive some wind, but I had no rain. The main problem is that the poles are bent now. I am not sure what cause this other then perhaps the wind. So now the tent, then set up, looks a little lopsided. I plan to take the tent in to REI to see what can be done about the pole problem. I actually like the tent and this makes the pole problem even more disappointing. It was very comfortable for a family of three. In situations where the nights were warm and there was no threat of rain, this tent is well ventilated with the fly removed. When rain threatened, the fly provided adequate coverage, although I had no real test of waterproofness. Overall it's a good design EXCEPT for the poles, and that's a real problem. I'd feel better about this problem had I paid the sale price [$]

        Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

        I'd been eyeing this tent for a while because of it's low weight and packed size to set-up size ratio. My girlfriend and I typically fly to wherever we're camping so we need something that we can put in a duffel that won't weigh us down, but we also like to be able to spread out and have plenty of room. When it went on sale, my girlfriend snatched it up and gave it to me for my birthday. We took it to Hermit Island in Maine in mid-June '09 and (naturally) we had 2 inches of rainfall over the course of nine hours. Our tent stayed dry as a bone while everyone else at our camp site was literally floating inside their own tents. The ventilation was spectacular and we had zero condensation. I didn't notice any bending of the poles, but this was the first time we set it up (for three days.) It's a breeze to set up, I can do it myself in about 5 minutes. The fly performed admirably. It has loads of room inside and packs down to nothing considering how large it is when it's set up. I highly recommend it for people who want a large-ish tent that's lightweight for duffel bag or car camping.

        Comments about REI Camp Dome 4 Tent:

        I purchased this tent in June 08, hoping that it would provide better rain protection than previous non-REI tents that I have owned. I then proceeded to camp for 35 nights in Quebec, during what turned out to be the rainiest summer on record: not a drop of water got in the tent, which was a blessing. I have since used the tent locally in Missouri, and on camping trips to the Colorado Plateau and Appalachians. It is well-ventilated, spacious, easy to set up and take down. Moreover, it holds up well in the wind. However, my tent poles are now bent a bit, and may need replacing before I venture off for another long trip. Otherwise, the tent has served me extremely well and I highly recommend it. It is good for two people, not four as labeled. Oh, and I like the two-door design, which makes retrieving gear a snap!

          Great Value for the money. I bought this tent for me and my two sons to use on Y-Adventure Guide overnight camping trips. The tent has withstood condensation at the beach, rain overnight, and 35 MPH winds at Joshua Tree. I have set the tent up alone in about 5 minutes (no wind). Iam impressed with the quality. A queen size air mattress fits inside. Large enough for one adult and two children under 10. Two small if you add the 4th person. If weight is not an issue, this is a great tent that is very stable in the wind compared to others. Might be a bit heavy for backpacking but a great budget buy.

            This is a great tent. Holds two people comfortably. Just used it on the river's edge in Texas and just weathered a four hour rain fall.

            Found two leaks. The door tie down exposed to the outside was getting wet, and the water seeped through to the inside. Both tie downs dripped occasionally, but nothing that a simple towel couldn't handle. The other was the top of the rainfly, where the Velcro attaches to the fly poll. I detached the Velcro and it stopped.

            The tent withstanding the heavy wind with ease. My friends tent which cost half of what this tent cost, was fluttering in the breeze like a flag. The REI tent looked like it was built with stone and mortar.

            I used this tent 4 times, and I am able to pitch it solo, with the rainfly.

              Bought this tent on sale at local store in the spring. Used twice this year and both times we had rain. First trip there was a steady rain for about 6 hours during the day. Went to bed that night in a completely dry tent. Second trip had a thunderstorm during the night. Held up great to the wind and rain, no leaks & did not feel like it was going to blow over. No problems with set up or take down. Poles seemed to work great, with no bend after being set for 3 days. Great tent for the money!!!
