Kelty Wireless Freestanding Camping Tent, 2 4 or 6 Person Size, Huge Interior and Peak Height, Intuitive + Easy to Pitch, Color Coded Setup

We bought this tent for our family of 3. We camped in Custer State Park, Yellowstone amd Glacier National Park. This tent was very roomy and did great in a few rainy and windy nights. There was some dampness on the lower edges but overall it kept us and our gear dry. I was able to set it up by myself when needed. Great tent!

Got this tent last July based on a freind's recommendation after the poles for a different (old) tent blew out in a wind storm. Arrived quickly, which was great bc we were leaving for a 3-wk hiking/camping trip a few days later.Super easy to set up, tear down & pack. Love that it has 2 doors & the canopy entries! They kept out shoes dry @ night & we didn't get the tent dirty/muddy by bringing them inside. ♥️ The ventilation is good. I like that the zippers go both ways.On our trip, the nights got down in the 30s & days were in the 70s-90s. Didn't freeze or overheat. It kept us dry through a few rain storms & dried quickly afterwards. Bought the tent footprint for this tent. Highly recommend doing that. Everything on this tent is color-coded, including the toggles & loops for the footprint. This alone makes setup a breeze. I could put the whole thing, stakes, footprint, tent up alone in 5-10min (depending on how hard the ground was). 2 adults fit really comfortably with small sleeping mats, sleeping bags, pillows, our clothes & toiletries for the morning. 3-4 people could fit, but you'll be cozy.Used it to take my 4yo nephew on his 1st camping trip last fall. The 2nd door was great bc it helped him not feel claustrophobic. I put string lights on the outside of the tent. He loved seeing them through the fabric. He was also able to help.put it up & take it down bc of the color-coding. 😁 We're going again this weekend, so I'll update if anything changes.

We bought this tent for car camping with two adults and an 18 month old kid and a 30 lb dog. It fit the bill perfectly. We had space for the two of us to sleep, a pack-and-play crib, a folding rocking chair, dog bed and spare room for clothes/stuff/etc. We compared this to two other 6 person tents, each nearly twice as expensive, and even ignoring price, this tent was a pretty clear winner.Things that are great:Easy to set up. This tent has three poles and very simple construction. The sleeves that hold the poles at the corners are also a great innovation that make it a lot easier to set up with one person (the other tents were still using grommets that the poles tended to pop out of). If you're shorter, it may be a little tougher to set up the final pole across the top of the tent with a single person, but if you're bringing a six person tent, you've hopefully got a friend to help out. With two people, we had the tent set up in just over five minutes on our first try.Good rain-fly coverage - This rain fly covers the entire tent. It keeps it a little warmer (which may be a good thing depending on the time of year), but I think it's worth it to have the full coverage. The rainfly only has tie downs in the corners and the vestibules. I'd like to see a loop in the middle of tent to keep it a little more taught, but it didn't seem like a big issue.Doors & Vestibules - You get two doors and vestibules, with a good amount of covered space for gear. Doors and vestibules have nice tiebacks to open things up to a breeze if it's hot and you're not worried about bugs.What's not so good:Interior Pockets - Inside the tent has 4 pockets (plus the two light-diffusing head-lamp pockets). It's a weird number for a 6 person tent. They're also pretty small compared to some other tents.Weight - The poles are heavy. Hopefully you're not backpacking this tent. The silver lining is that the count of poles is lower than most other tents of this size.Duffel is hard to zip, it was tough to put most tents of this size back in their packs, but this duffel seemed the hardest to re-pack.Faulty Shock Cord - The shock cord in the third pole (the short one) snapped on our third time disassembling the tent. Checking it, there's another section of the same cord that looks like it's barely held together that I'm surprised didn't fail too. Customer service for this issue is not so hot; they want you to mail in the pole and wait 4-6 weeks for them to ship a new one. Or Amazon will replace the whole tent. Luckily, shock cord is not essential to the function of the tent (and honestly not really needed on the short pole). It's also pretty cheap and easy to fix yourself. But if all the cord looks like this, I'm not too confident the cord in the other poles won't break soon too.Overall, I'd say this is one of the best six person tents available and for the price, it is the best six person tent available. If it weren't for the shock cord issue, it would easily be a five star tent.

This tent was easy to put up by my husband after he familiarized himself with the instructions(every tent is a little different so save yourself the time and just glance them over). I don’t think he’ll need to use them again after the first time. It’s tall and roomy enough for a queen size air mattress with plenty of room to walk around. The rain fly totally covers the tent. My husband and son slept in it for a couple July nights to test it out with a fan mounted across the ceiling and they said it was very comfortable. It also withstood the rain and wind we had while it up. No leaks. The only issue we had is that brand new out of the box the ridge pole was broken. My husband used gorilla tape to hold it together so he could use it. I contacted Kelty customer service and they sent a new ridge pole. I hope these poles don’t turn out to be low quality because the rest of the tent is great. I’ll update if we have any further issues.

LOVE THIS TENT !!! i am over 65 and found it easy to set up by myself. It's roomy, has 2 outdoor entries and vestibules.
