In fact, according to McCrackin, it’s “the best tent out there for overall space, quality and weight.”Īnd you won’t have to worry about finding floor space for your bag, thanks to a bin at the foot that provides ample elevated storage. The footprint is large enough to accommodate you, a medium-sized dog (or perhaps two smaller ones) and your sleeping bag comfortably, while also being tall enough for a larger camper to sit fully upright. The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 mtnGLO folds down to 20 x 6 inches and weighs less than 4 pounds so it can tuck into or strap onto any pack of decent dimensions. A battery-powered remote lets you power the light on and off or set it to 50 percent brightness, preventing awkward eye squints at night. Not only does it weigh very little, but it also integrates a flexible LED light strand right into the tent seams. This solo-minded tent adds new meaning to the term ultralight.
Although it may be a bit tight for four, it’s certainly roomy for two adventurers towing decent-sized bags. Just assemble the aluminum tent poles, snap them into the color-coded corners, hoist up the body and clip it to the poles, then throw on a rainfly if you like.

But McCrackin recommends it as an upgrade for solos and couples on car camping trips.Įssentially it’s a two-pole dome tent with one door and a single vestibule. Even so, at roughly 7.5 pounds, the Kelty Grand Mesa 4 is far from backbreaking. Also, despite being cavernous inside, the tent sets up in well under 10 minutes once you’ve done it a few times.īest Camping Tent For Four People Enjoy Plenty Of Head Room And Gear StorageĬapacity: 4 people | Weight: 7.43 pounds | Floor Area: 54.5 square feet | Peak Height: 56 inchesĪs opposed to backpacking, when every inch and ounce counts, with car camping-where you drive rather than hike right up to the campsite-you can go bigger and heavier with your equipment than you otherwise might. For convenience, a loop at the top of the dome can hang a lantern or fan and two side pockets allow for stashing phones, flashlights, toiletries and more.

A screened-in vestibule gives parents a bug-free space to chill outside the tent proper and the windows zip open for airflow.
That (potentially) lets the fam sleep in a bit later after sunup and might even let you put the kids to bed before sunset. Its interior is darker than most tents thanks to the brand’s Dark Room fabric of the walls and rain fly. The Coleman Carlsbad checks both those boxes and is packed with clever features designed to make camping with kids less stressful. (Many hands make light work.) But you want to make sure your tent can stand up to the rigors that both your children and Mother Nature will throw at it. When it comes to camping with the family, space and durability matter most, so it’s okay to sacrifice a little by getting a heavier tent. Lots of sites were river access which was beautiful as well.Capacity: 6 people | Weight: 21.31 pounds | Floor Area: 90 square feet | Peak Height: 68 inches This being said, you could probably get away without the pass if you came late and left early on a non-holiday weekend but you would be risking a $100 ticket - but, hey, 9 officers for a whole state isn’t bad odds ) Still - just get the pass and support public lands!! This campground is up a kind of bumpy road, but there were a ton of 5th wheels out there. DNR employs 9 cops for the state of Washington and one of them is very frequently patrolling this area, especially on holiday weekends. The Teanaway (the area this site is located in) belongs to Washington State Department of Natural Resources. This site does require a Discover Pass, which can be bought at many locations and possibly even purchased digitally, it’s $30 for the whole year or $10/night if you just want one. Everyone was respectful of the quiet hours of 10-7, so it was pretty peaceful, although people were still rolling after we got there at about 10:30 PM. There are two well-kept vault toilets and some information boards. Not overcrowded but we were pretty fortunate to find a spot. We came to this spot May 25, Memorial Day weekend.
