Good Tent, I’m happy!
1 year ago
My daughter and I took this camping in Payson, Az and it rained one of the days. We stayed dry! The setup was easy, solid tent construction. I like how the tent poles were extra strong. With the rain cover on the tent lacks ventilation. But, I did like the privacy and height clearance.

Straightforward Good Car Camping Tent

Have used it a couple times since getting it a few months back. As with all tents: Can fit the number it reports to sleep but I always buy up (2 person for solo, 4 for me and wife, etc…). The 6 fits two cots and dog with plenty of room to spare. Extremely easy to set up and take down and the fabric and zippers look to be good quality. Love the cathedral style design…can stand up and even stretch a bit (I’m 6’ tall). Would love a few more pockets or a compatible loft to clip in but, with all the room, bringing a storage organizer is no problem.

Nice Family Tent

Bought this to upgrade our old Coleman family tent. Set up and take down was easy and fast with two people, the only tricky part for us was the height. I think it could be a one person set up for somebody particularly tall. It rained during our trip and the fly kept us nice and dry and the water rolled off the fly well. 4 stars for the lack of windows. There are two doors on either side to help with airflow but we would have been cooler with windows. Super spacious for our little family of three.

Good tent for families. We use it on multiple day rafting trips. Be warned, this is not a tent easily setup by one person, I can be done, but it’s extremely difficult.

Too small for us.
2 years ago
I bought this to replace a BA Big House 6 and am going to return it. We can get 5 of us in the old tent, this is really a four person tent. The doors no longer have flaps to open and close for ventilation or privacy and no vestibule other than the smallish one on either side. Seems to be made well enough and the vertical walls are nice but having three kids we need the room.

Great Family Tent
2 months ago
This tent is great. The setup was easy and the tent poles felt heavy duty. We were able to fit a queen blow up mattress and a dog bed insides, along with some bags with enough walking room. Kept us dry from the rain and morning dew Can take a minute to put it back in the bag but otherwise everything fit.

I REALLY wanted to like this tent
1 year ago
I have Big Agnes sleeping bags and camp chairs, I like their products, so I really wanted to like this tent, but after 2 camping trips I decided to return it. The tent itself appeared to be well made and in my limited experience with this tent everything seemed to function as it should. However, there were some things that I just didn't care for, but since it was on sale I figured I'd try it out. Setup wasn't bad, little bit of a pain in the butt setting up by yourself, but with 2 people it's quite easy. First thing that became quite annoying are the double zippers on the doors, one horizontal and one vertical. This is something you see mostly on budget tents, not sure why they didn't use a continuous zipper. I knew this when I purchased the tent, but I didn't realize that it would become so annoying so fast. I've used tents with a continuous zipper for many years, so I should have known better. Also, a continuous zipper helps keep the bugs out as opposed to having 2 zippers that come to a point 5" to 6" above the ground. Color. Let's face it, it's pretty bland, nothing to get excited about there. Which brings me to the floor and footprint, they're the same color, why?!! They must have got a really good deal on that fabric. Unless you only plan on using this tent in your family room, or your backyard, it'll be filthy after one use. If you set this up on dirt, like you'll find in the outdoors, the footprint will look like it's been used all season after one use and that's if it doesn't rain. Take a white sheet into the backcountry, sleep on it all weekend and that's what it'll look like. I'll admit that I'm a little OCD, but I like to take care of my gear. I mean, there's a reason most, if not all, footprints and the bottom of tents are dark colors. The floor is quite thin so IMO a footprint, of some sort, is a necessity. IF Big Agnes made this tent with continuous zippers at the doors, better ventilation, attractive non-boring colors with a dark bathtub floor it might be worth checking out. I love Big Agnes products, this one just wasn't for me. I exchanged it for the REI Basecamp 6 and couldn't be happier.
