Marmot  Limestone 4P Tent

Almost a perfect tent. Good space (true 4P), good main vestibule…but the rear door is solid without a screen door. With a rear mesh/screen door, this tent would be a solid 5 stars. Because it doesn’t have that, it becomes an oven in warm weather. The roof ventilation looks very carefully designed but is so small as to also be ineffective. The rear vestibule isn’t super useful - the zipper makes it awkward to get out of and it’s barely big enough to actually keep anything dry. Other pros: easy setup, good interior pockets.

We love this tent. We’ve had it for 4 years. Started out with the Aura 2P when we’re married and got this bigger one when we had kids. It’s such an easy and quick set up. Kids can easily help. No stress, no fuss. It’s a very light tent, super convenient. It rained on us (as I’m writing this review) and we’re still dry. 10/10 would highly recommend this tent, no doubt.

Solid car camping tent. Used it over a 4 day festival weekend. Plenty of room for a queens air mattress and a good bit of gear inside. Held up fine in a pretty good rain. Only issue I ran into is that the front vestibule part of the rain fly does not extend very far over the front door. Had a bit of water drip in through the mesh door when the vestibule fly was unzipped. Could probably slightly adjust during setup to completely eliminate what was a very minor issue.

I just bought this tent to replace my tried and true REI Half Dome tent after 20+ years of camping with about 1 year of total pitched time. Unfortunately, its floor had shrunk beyond acceptable limits. This new tent will be used for car camping only. Its increased dimensions (especially 65" of max. height) is a welcome real estate upgrade. Its packed dimensions and weight are not too much of increase, and definitely is not a burden to a car trunk space. When pitched (first time in the garage) it appears to be decently build, and roomy. Along with 2 vestibules, it is a comfortable living space for 3 adults. However, there are several concerns which took away 2 stars from my rating: Tent's back door is a solid piece of fabric, and in warmer climates there will be not enough ventilation. If camping in the areas with unfriendly venomous creatures, leaving door open is not a viable option, and lack of ventilation can become a big deal. There are no mesh pockets in all for corners of the tent; and they are too small to carry simultaneously cell phone, headlamp, car keys, etc. Design of the tent, especially considering it height is raising a wind stability concern. There are no rope attachment loops available on the sides, where wind stability reinforcement is needed. There are only 8 pitching stakes in the set, and which is not enough to accommodate all available tie down locations. Overall it is a really good tent, especially for the sales price, but more thoughtfulness and refinement was expected from a such brand name as Marmot.

Seems really nice. Sets up easy. I set it up myself in about 10 minutes. Sure hated looking at sale price a week later a $100.00 cheaper though.

I bought this tent to go camping with my girlfriend and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the materials and intuitive setup and takedown. The tent is incredibly easy to set up, the poles are made of aluminum and are sturdy and pre-bent. The clips are color coded which makes setting up the tent a breeze. My girlfriend and I setup the tent quickly and without a hassle. After inserting the poles and sliding on the rainfly the tent is complete. I really enjoyed the smooth zippers and durable fabric. I highly recommend getting the footprint that goes with this tent in order to add an extra layer of protection. The tent has great features like two vestibules, a front and back entrance and multiple overhead pockets which come in handy. I really liked the look of the tent and its mesh design to look at the stars on a clear night. The only downside is I wish the back door was mesh to improve ventilation however, I never felt stuffy or hot in the SoCal weather I camp in. The tent comfortably fits a queen air mattress with room for gear. In addition, the tent held up to light rain and wind without a problem. I do recommend getting the 6p tent if you’re a taller person (6+ feet) as I couldn’t stand up in the tent. Overall, marmot is a great brand that offers quality materials and design at an affordable price, and the lifetime warranty makes this tent a must buy for car camping. 10/10.
