It has everything you need for three-season camping, with the bonus of being light enough to double as an occasional backpacking tent. Although it’s designed to accommodate three people—hence the “3” in its name—we found that at 42.5 square feet, the tent is more comfortable for two, plus gear and maybe a medium-size dog.</p><p>A classic polyester dome tent, the Mineral King 3 uses two high-quality pre-bent aluminum poles, which maximize head and shoulder space, making this tent feel less cramped than other dome tents we tested. Two large doors provide easy entry and exit, and a vestibule—that’s camping speak for “mudroom”—outside each door adds significant sheltered storage. The Mineral King 3 has a full rain fly, which you can roll up halfway or completely remove for epic stargazing. It also comes with a groundsheet (aka footprint) to protect the tent floor.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1"></div></div></div></div><div class="ebb615ab global-cob eaaa9459 e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Top pick</h4><div id="callout-intro-1-5" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="55356"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="55356"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="55356"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_review_deal_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="55356" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/55356/Kelty-Wireless-6-Tent_20230426-001835_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kelty Wireless 6 Tent" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="1" data-pid="55356" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_review_deal_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Kelty Wireless 6 Tent</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The best camping tent for families" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/127722?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_review_deal_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="55356" data-gtm-context="inline">The best camping tent for families</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">Spacious and easy to pitch, this dome tent also has other features most families need: two large doors, roomy vestibules, and an affordable price.

Like the Mineral King 3, it has a simple, dome-style design that maximizes livability and minimizes headaches. With 87 square feet of interior space, plus 28 square feet of vestibule space, the polyester tent fits four adults comfortably, or two adults with two or three children, with plenty of room to store gear and muddy boots. (As its name indicates, it’s meant to house six people, but we wouldn’t recommend that.) The Wireless 6 has two large doors and a full rain fly.</p><p>Like most tents we saw in its price range, the Wireless 6 uses cheaper materials: Its poles (two, plus a “brow” pole that supports the two vestibules) are fiberglass, and its stakes are too light for their size (two bent during testing). Unlike the competition, this tent is functional, durable, and a joy to inhabit in most weather conditions. (We did notice that the fly took longer to dry than others we tested; don’t put it away while it’s still damp, or it’ll mildew.) It packs into a duffle with a handy shoulder strap and weighs about 17 pounds—manageable for most people across short distances.

A full rain fly with easy-attach color-coded clips covers the tent body and adds two large vestibules. Like the Mineral King 3, the Tungsten has aluminum poles that are connected at the top (for lightning-quick pitching) and pre-bent, which increases the dome tent’s headroom. With pentagonal doors and a fly scaffolded by two brow poles—as opposed to the Mineral King 3’s single one—this tent provides excellent shielding from multidirectional wind and rain, providing you follow the setup instructions faithfully.</p><p>The Tungsten 4’s poles are bent at a more acute angle and closer to the ground, which, we discovered, can cause the tent to collapse in windy conditions if you don’t attach the poles to the fly using the Velcro tabs running under the seams. You can also set up the tent without the fly while retaining some privacy, since the tent body has a high polyester wall on one side. Like the Mineral King 3, this tent comes with a footprint.</p><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Budget pick</h4><div id="callout-intro-3-6" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="19010"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="19010"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="19010"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="19010" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/19010/Coleman-Sundome-6-Person-Tent_20220706-175837_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="3" data-pid="19010" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A cheap but reliable tent for couples and families" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/19010/98245/4/148261?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="19010" data-gtm-context="inline">A cheap but reliable tent for couples and families</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">Great for backyard overnights, this simple dome-style tent is for anyone who doesn&#x27;t want to spend more than $150 on a tent but also doesn&#x27;t want to buy another one next year.

This no-nonsense tent is intuitive to set up, has mesh on the top halves of two walls, includes a partial rain fly that’s easy to put on and stake out, and feels cheery inside and out. (We don’t recommend the smaller version of this tent for couples who might actually take it on the road; it was just too flimsy in our tests.) Also note that this tent does not come with its own groundsheet. Coleman says that the tent doesn’t need one, probably because its floor is a crinkly (though tough) tarp-like polyethylene, not a taped-seam polyester as in our other picks.</p><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Upgrade pick</h4><div id="callout-intro-4-9" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="55354"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="55354"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="55354"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="55354" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/55354/The-North-Face-Wawona-6-Tent--2023-_20230825-141100_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The North Face Wawona 6 Tent (2023)" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pick-type-id="4" data-pid="55354" data-store="REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">The North Face Wawona 6 Tent (2023)</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A family tent with a spare room" data-store="REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55354/189599/4/163299?merchant=REI" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="55354" data-gtm-context="inline">A family tent with a spare room</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This dome-style tent has nearly vertical walls, high ceilings, and a single vestibule the size of an actual mudroom.

Its fly extends into a huge front vestibule that can store large items like bikes, or even accommodate a table and chairs. Adults over 6 feet tall will be able to walk upright inside this tent—which has almost-vertical walls that can easily accommodate beds, cribs, and cots—as well as in the vestibule.</p><p>We also appreciated the tent’s construction, which combines good ventilation (the upper part of the canopy walls are mesh) with campsite privacy (those mesh bits are covered by the fly, which reaches only halfway down the tent on the back and sides). And this tent is easy to set up and pack down, especially considering its size. (It comes with a carrying bag equipped with duffle-style handles.) You’re unlikely to find a similar-sized tent that matches the Wawona’s quality and features for less money—most comparable tents we tested cost much more.

We’re not looking at tents designed for such specialized activities as mountaineering, backpacking, or winter camping, though some of our recommendations have cross-over potential.</p><p>Even if you’re not seeking any extreme-weather adventures, you’ll still need something that can withstand whatever the elements throw your way. The tents we discuss here are designed to keep you comfortable in wind, rain, and even light snow. (If you find yourself in a lightning storm, it’s best to seek shelter in your car or abandon the adventure for a motel, especially if you’re camping in an exposed area.)</p><p>Finding a small, light tent is the logical approach when you’re backpacking. But with car camping—the industry term for what most people consider just camping—you’ll likely be parking next to your campsite and unloading. If you won’t be carrying your tent more than a couple hundred feet, more space means more comfort (as well as more room for your stuff).</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-picked"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-picked-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we picked" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="3">How we picked</h2><div id="how-we-picked-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-picked" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260476" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="An assortment of camping tents laid across the floor, inside their carrying bags." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0213.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1536" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260476"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> An array of car-camping tents.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Claire Wilcox</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>After putting in about 40 hours studying online reviews and company websites, as well as spending time consulting with frequent campers (both with and without kids) and considering our own diverse car-camping experiences, we evaluated the options (about 100, in the course of the past seven years) according to the following criteria:</p><p><strong>The right capacity:</strong> Tent makers measure tent capacity by how many people can fit in them sardine-style, lying inside mummy bags.

Bigger is better when it comes to car camping, she said: “Look for a base-camp-style tent that is meant for when you pull up in your car and pitch your tent right there.” All of the tents we considered fall into that category.</p><p><strong>A dome shape:</strong> Usually designed around two- or three-pole arches, dome-style tents tend to be stronger than cabin-style designs, which maximize ceiling height by sacrificing some structural integrity. The dome shape does reduce overall livable space, but it’s better at deflecting winds and shedding rain, something you’re likely to appreciate if an unexpected storm hits. Our picks are all dome-style tents.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260480" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Four camping tents inside their carrying bags, laid in a row outside." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-packed.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260480"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Size matters less when you’re car camping than when you’re backpacking, but bulk is still something to consider.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Dan Koeppel</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>Adequate weatherproofing and durability:</strong> A good dome-style tent should be able to withstand high winds and driving rain without pitching or collapsing. We assumed that most car campers would likely not be camping in snow, so we focused on three-season models instead. Most of the tents we looked at could handle an unexpected flurry or a coating of frost, but we wouldn’t intentionally take them on a winter-camping trip.</p><p>Tent makers generally treat the fabrics with a water-repellent coating described in millimeters; 1,200 mm to 3,000 mm is the typical range found on family tents. That number does not refer to the thickness of the coating or the fabric; instead, it measures a <a href="https://www.msrgear.com/blog/tent-fabrics-part-2-waterproof-ratings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">specific test of water pressure</a>, namely, how many millimeters of water can sit on top of the material before water starts leaking through. (As a Coleman product manager told us, “Nothing’s waterproof, not even submarines. Given the right conditions anything will leak.”) A higher number means better water resistance, but such stronger coatings aren’t always necessary: As <a href="https://www.msrgear.com/blog/tent-fabrics-part-2-waterproof-ratings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">this MSR blog post explains</a>, “the more coating you add, the heavier and more rigid the fabric becomes, and—after a point—the more susceptible to tearing.” A typical umbrella has a rating of only 420 mm, the company’s experts point out, and it does just fine at keeping you dry.</p><p>It’s natural to focus on the quality of a tent’s rain fly—you need that piece to work when the skies open up. But according to our experts, the durability of the floor of your tent is actually more important.  Tent designer Bob Howe, who has developed models for nearly every major tent maker, including Easton, Marmot, The North Face, REI, and Sierra Designs, said that when it comes to a tent floor, two lightweight layers are often stronger than one heavy layer; he suggested using a groundsheet or footprint, even with a high-quality tent floor. If the tent you buy doesn’t come with a footprint (two of our recommended tents, the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50520/180610/4/148264/?merchant=REI" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="REI" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50520/180610/4/148264/?merchant=REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-gtm-context="chapter_how-we-picked" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pid="50520" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50520/180610/4/148264/?merchant=REI">Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3</a> and the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50517/180597/4/148280/?merchant=REI" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="REI" data-pick-type-id="2" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50517/180597/4/148280/?merchant=REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-gtm-context="chapter_how-we-picked" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pid="50517" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50517/180597/4/148280/?merchant=REI">Marmot Tungsten 4</a>, do), we recommend purchasing a <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/20329/108767/4/113037/?merchant=Kelty" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Kelty" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/20329/108767/4/113037/?merchant=Kelty" data-vars-store="Kelty" data-gtm-context="chapter_how-we-picked" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Kelty" data-pid="20329" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/20329/108767/4/113037/?merchant=Kelty">companion footprint</a>, if one is available. A footprint doesn’t take up much space, is relatively inexpensive, and is much easier to repair or replace than a tent bottom if it tears. A basic tarp can do in a pinch.</p><p><strong>The right materials for the job:</strong> On most tents, the walls and flies are made of either <a href="http://nemoadventureanywhere.blogspot.com/2009/11/nemo-classroom-lessons-164-nylon-vs.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">nylon or polyester</a>. Nylon weighs less but is more susceptible to UV damage, which makes it better for backpacking, when a tent spends most of its daylight hours packed up. Car campers generally leave their tents up for much longer periods of time, increasing the material’s UV exposure. As polyester is stiffer and heavier than nylon but not as susceptible to UV damage, Howe told us, and it doesn’t absorb water like nylon does, it’s generally better for car camping. It’s also less expensive.</p><p>To compare tent fabrics, you also need to know their overall rip strength. For most fabrics, rip strength is expressed as a measurement of the diameter of the fibers in their thread, or a denier—the higher the denier, the stronger the fabric. We found 40 denier up to 150 denier to be typical for car-camping tents; you can read more about these measurements in <a href="https://www.msrgear.com/blog/understanding-tent-fabrics-part-1-fabric-specs/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">gear manufacturer MSR’s blog post</a> and in <a href="http://www.outsideonline.com/1776016/what-are-tent-coatings-and-deniers" rel="noopener" target="_blank">this Outside article</a>.</p><p>As for poles, Howe explained to us that each material has its advantages and drawbacks: Aluminum poles are far lighter and slide together more easily but cost more, while fiberglass-and-steel poles are often trickier to fit together and can leave splinters in your palms. They can, however, be stronger in high winds.</p><p><strong>Ease of setup:</strong> We looked for dummy-proof tents that were intuitive to set up and that a lone person could erect fairly quickly. If you’ve ever arrived at a campsite after dark with two small kids who have been stewing in the backseat for hours, you know that dealing with a tent is often a one-person job. We’ve also found that a car-camping tent is the kind of item your friends may want to borrow from time to time. Those friends may well be novice campers, so we wanted something that the uninitiated but reasonably intelligent could erect, even if the original instructions had disappeared long ago. (You’re going to lose the instructions. Everyone loses the instructions.)</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260484" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A person in the middle of a desert trying to put together a camping tent." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-19.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260484"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Spread the tent out.

Even so, you should, ideally, stake down each corner securely; in some crowded campgrounds, however, finding a flat spot with soil soft enough to do that can be difficult. A tent that requires staking to stand up—especially a larger, six-person tent—is unwieldy, and it’ll be impossible to set up on a hard surface such as blacktop or on raised wooden tent decks.</p><p>It is also important to consider the way in which the tent poles attach to the tent. Many of our picks use grommet attachments, which are more secure and simple to repair than key attachments if anything should break.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260485" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Two photos of methods for securing a camping tent: using a grommet (left) and using a key attachment (right)." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-attachments.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2000" height="657" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260485"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Grommet (left) and key attachments are the two most common ways of securing tent poles to the base of a tent.

Guy-line systems are somewhat unique to each tent, with every model boasting its own specific rope bites and tie-downs. (Kit scoured YouTube tutorials and found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSG_YubWIE8" rel="noopener" target="_blank">this video</a> to be the most informative tutorial on guy lines. With this video and a little practice, you’ll soon be pitching tents like a pro.)</p><p><strong>Affordability:</strong> Car-camping tents should be relatively inexpensive. They don’t need to be the top of the line or made of the lightest possible materials or the most advanced fabrics (something you’d likely look for in a backpacking tent). We decided that the tents for this guide should not be precious items—but they shouldn’t be disposable, either. When we researched couples’ tents in 2022, we found no tents below $150 worth considering; our cap was $400. For our 2023 family tent testing, after completing our research we realized that $500 was now the average price for a good-quality tent. Below this amount, the flaws and tradeoffs started to mount. Still, we felt that $500 was a lot to pay for a family tent, so we looked for options that were more affordable and didn’t sacrifice too much.</p><p><strong>Extra features:</strong> Stake design, pole strength and arrangements, rain-fly tie-downs, door construction, zipper strength, and gear-loft placements all play a role in the overall comfort and enjoyment of your tent. We also considered privacy, vestibules, extra headroom, and any other bonuses.</p><p>Once we had our criteria nailed down, we scoured Amazon reviews of four- and six-person tents, as well as owner reviews on retailer sites such as <a href="http://backcountry.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Backcountry</a>, <a href="http://www.cabelas.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Cabela’s</a>, <a href="https://www.campmor.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Campmor</a>, <a href="http://dickssportinggoods.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Dick’s Sporting Goods</a>, <a href="http://www.ems.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Eastern Mountain Sports</a>, <a href="http://www.llbean.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">L.L.Bean</a>, and <a href="https://www.rei.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">REI</a>, plus professional reviews from <a href="https://gearjunkie.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">GearJunkie</a> and <a href="http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">GearLab</a>. We perused the lines of outdoor companies like Big Agnes, Marmot, and The North Face. And we studied the offerings of big-box stores including Costco, Sears, Target, and Walmart. We then requested test samples of the models that met our criteria and also had a consistent record of positive reviews.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-and-where-we-tested"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-and-where-we-tested-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How (and where) we tested" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="4">How (and where) we tested</h2><div id="how-and-where-we-tested-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-and-where-we-tested" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260488" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A group of 10 camping tents set up in the middle of a desert." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260488"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> We took some tents to Greggs Hideout, on the Arizona side of Lake Mead.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Caleigh Waldman</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>For earlier incarnations of this guide, we tested tents in Arizona (alongside Lake Mead and just south of the <a href="http://hualapai-nsn.gov/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hualapai reservation</a>, near the Grand Canyon) and southern California (near Joshua Tree National Park; at the <a href="https://www.recreation.gov/camping/mountain-oak/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&amp;parkId=73583" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mountain Oak Campground</a>, an hour or so east of Los Angeles; and at <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/lpnf/recarea/?recid=11027" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wheeler Gorge Campground</a>, outside Ojai, California).</p><p>After our longtime top-pick tent for two people ran into some stock issues in 2021, we researched new models and redesigns, and we assembled a batch of small tents for testing in March 2022, on Oahu. Over two blustery March weekends, we pitched eight tents in an exposed ocean-fronting yard on the northwestern coast of the island by Kaena Point State Park, leaving the tents up for 48 hours to face the salt air, the wind, and the rain while we tested. During this period, winds rose up to 35 to 40 knots, and we experienced passing showers as well as direct sunlight and 80-degree temperatures. To mimic heavier rain and to test the tent’s ability to withstand soggy ground conditions, we also soaked our tents with a garden hose. A few weeks later, we brought the front-runners to a platform in an area that had higher elevation, near the Waianae Mountain Range, and camped out overnight in intermittent but consistent rainfall.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260489" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A group of five tents along a grassy, tropical shore." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-9841.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1485" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260489"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> A quintet of tents on Oahu’s North Shore.

We assembled and disassembled the tents on all of our testing sites multiple times. We tried the rain fly for each tent as well, one time rushing to get several of them up during an unexpected rainstorm at night. When heavy trade winds buffeted our Oahu-coast testing site, we pitched each tent in full face of the blast. We then rotated the tents looking for structural weaknesses, and we tested their guy lines and tabs to see which tents had the best and most intuitive design for withstanding wind.</p><p>Throughout all our testing, we wanted to know how it felt to be inside the tents for long periods of time. Did we feel claustrophobic or rejuvenated? If we had to spend a day in the tent during a storm, would it be comfortable? After first removing the models that failed the structural tests, we slept, watched the stars, and ate our meals in all of the tents, as well as planned hikes from them.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260498" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A person folding together aluminum tent poles." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-30.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260498"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Fiberglass poles are a little more awkward than aluminum ones.

It comes with its own footprint, and is made of high-quality materials that are easy to handle. Simply put, it was the most effective, user-friendly tent in any situation we encountered. It also delivered a little something extra: Not only did the Mineral King 3 keep us sheltered in shifting weather, but key design features—such as a barely-there mesh canopy, generous vestibule space, and a well-placed toggle on top of the rain fly—kept us connected to the environment.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260504" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A closeup of the rain fly of the Mineral King 3 camping tent set up in rainy weather." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0302.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1536" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260504"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The rain fly easily deployed when wet weather rolled in.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Claire Wilcox</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>One night during testing, for example, clouds loomed in the distance with clear skies overhead. After we pitched the tent, the Mineral King 3’s adaptable fly let us leave half the mesh dome uncovered. We watched as night fell and the first stars appeared. At the first sign of rain, it took only a few seconds—and a quick hand stuck outside the tent—to unfurl the fly and secure it for a dry night’s sleep. When we awoke, we could roll back one part of the vestibule, make coffee, and watch the sky lighten even though it was still raining.</p><p>Despite having the smallest capacity of the tents we tested—42.5 square feet—the Mineral King 3 easily fits two people with a full-size mattress, or two sleeping pads, and gear. Two large vestibules add nearly 40 square feet combined—that is, 18.75 square feet on either side.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260505" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A Mineral King 3 camping tent situated on a wooden platform with the rain fly pulled back." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-0297.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1536" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260505"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> We pulled aside the rain fly for nighttime star viewing.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Claire Wilcox</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Setting up this tent is simple: You stake out the four corners, extend the tent’s two pre-connected poles, and dock them into grommets. The tent’s body attaches to the poles via plastic clips, and a third pole (the “brow”) fits into two grommets sewn into a seam above the tent’s two doors. These now-common clip-style setups are generally intuitive and can be accomplished in minutes. Certainly this was true of the Mineral King 3. Under good conditions one person pitched the tent in under five minutes. In high winds, it took us 10 minutes to pitch and fully secure the tent fly with extra lines and stakes.</p><p>All three poles—two main poles and the shorter brow pole—are made of strong, lightweight aluminum and come pre-bent and pre-connected. The bend in the poles has a subtle yet significant affect on the tent’s structure and interior feel: As you clip the tent fabric to the poles to create the dome, bends pull the mesh outward in the head and shoulder area. Where traditional dome tents often feel cramped, the Mineral King 3 offers a little extra space. Only one other couples’ tent we tested had this feature—our runner-up, the Marmot Tungsten 4—and we found it made both tents more livable.</p><p>We also appreciated the shepherd’s hook stakes that come with the tent. Most of the tents we tested came with basic L-shaped stakes, which tended to spin around in the soil and slip a line. The shepherd’s hook design, in contrast, held lines secure.</p><p>Underneath the fly, the Mineral King 3 has a full mesh dome with a waterproof, tape-seamed bathtub-style polyester floor. The overall feeling inside the tent is airy and comfortable. The tent doors are nearly wall-sized, and after you unzip them, you simply stuff them into pockets, rather than having to roll and toggle-tie the fabric. Another two hanging pockets plus loops for a ceiling hammock provide simple yet effective interior storage.</p><p>The Mineral King 3’s fly attaches intuitively with plastic buckles and has well-placed guy tabs. You can secure the fly to the poles with Velcro ties underneath the fly, so that the extra lines anchored the whole tent, not just the thin protective fabric, but we only needed to do so in very windy conditions. When the fly is fully deployed, the tent has two vestibules, which provide additional gear storage and also help ventilate the tent in inclement weather. And in a stroke of design brilliance, a small loop sewn into the top of the fly makes it possible to roll up one half of the fly, exposing the full mesh canopy while still providing shade and privacy.</p><p>When the weather permits, it’s fun to omit the fly entirely, but a word to the wise for those planning a fly-less night: Besides providing protection from rain, the fly also helps manage condensation. Though <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEmJl9IpzWc" rel="noopener" target="_blank">condensation (video)</a> occurs in all conditions, it’s worse when your surroundings are wet and humid, and anytime you have a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of a tent. But if your tent has a breathable inner layer, like the mesh walls of the Mineral King 3, condensation will gather on the fly instead of on the interior of the tent itself.</p><p>At $375, the Mineral King 3 isn’t cheap. But it’s one of the least expensive tents we found that had no significant drawbacks and will truly cover your bases for three-season camping. The tent also comes with its own footprint, a groundsheet that protects the tent from abrasion, which we recommend that you have.</p><p>Weighing just 7 pounds, the tent is light enough to double for backpacking trips, especially if you divide the pieces among hikers.</p><p>Note: The Mineral King 3 was the only tent in our test group free of fire-retardant chemicals. That means it’s less likely to contain potentially hazardous materials, but it is also less fireproof than tents coated in flame retardants. As always, it’s a good idea to pitch your tent far away from any open fires.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>Our main quibble with the Mineral King 3 is that it comes with only six stakes. (Our <a href="#runner-up-tent-for-two-people-marmot-tungsten-4-person-tent">runner-up pick</a> comes with eight.) Six is enough to secure the tent and fly but not to fully secure the tent’s extra lines in very windy conditions. This shouldn’t be an issue in most situations, but if you’re headed into a particularly windy place or simply want some backup, we suggest picking up four extra tent stakes at your local outdoor shop or online. <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51526/182560/4/148265/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51526/182560/4/148265/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_best-camping-tent-for-two-people-mountain-hardwear-mineral-king-3-tent" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="51526" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51526/182560/4/148265/?merchant=Amazon">These inexpensive stakes</a> are comparable to the ones that accompany the Mineral King 3; these <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51527/182561/4/148266/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51527/182561/4/148266/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_best-camping-tent-for-two-people-mountain-hardwear-mineral-king-3-tent" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="51527" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/51527/182561/4/148266/?merchant=Amazon">slightly more expensive stakes</a> will serve you well in any car-camping terrain.</p><p>One other thing: Should you remove the fly, you’ll also be giving up privacy—something to think about if you expect to use your tent primarily in crowded campgrounds.</p><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Claimed weight (including fly, tent poles, and carry bag):</strong> 7 pounds 1.2 ounces</p><p><strong>Claimed packed size:</strong> 25 by 7 inches</p><p><strong>Number of doors:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Number of vestibules:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Maximum interior height:</strong> 48 inches</p><p><strong>Tent floor area:</strong> 42.5 square feet</p><p><strong>Footprint included:</strong> yes</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Best camping tent for families: Kelty Wireless 6 Person Tent" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="6">Best camping tent for families: Kelty Wireless 6 Person Tent</h2><div id="best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_316620" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The Kelty Wireless 6, set up and zipped.

It’s spacious, easy to set up, has weather protection, and is durable, all at an affordable price. The Wireless 6 lacks some of the premium materials found in pricier tents, but it features solid workmanship and should provide dependable, comfortable shelter in most three-season camping situations.</p><p>Like <a href="#best-camping-tent-for-two-people-mountain-hardwear-mineral-king-3-tent">our couples’ tent pick</a>, the Wireless 6 is a dome-shaped tent with a tried and true two-pole design. It has an interior footprint of 87 square feet, which sleeps four adults on single pads, or two adults and two or three children, and can accommodate a crib. It has two large doors, and a peak height of 6-foot-3. That wasn’t the tallest we encountered—the <a href="#the-competition">Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6 and the Alps Mountaineering Camp Creek 6</a> each topped out at 7 feet—but it’s enough space for most adults to maneuver standing up. The tent comes with a full rain fly that adds two vestibules for storage (each 14 square feet), totaling 115 square feet of livable space—which is fairly generous yet still practical for most campsites.</p><p>The Wireless 6 goes up easily, using the same kind of intuitive pole and clip method as our couples’ pick. The fly is equally simple to attach and orient with color-coded clips. A single person can pitch the tent in 10 to 15 minutes. (Users under 5-foot-5 may need some help fastening the highest clip. At 5-foot-3, Claire managed with a little hop.) Instead of grommets or keys, reinforced fabric sleeves hold the tent-pole ends, a particularly thoughtful feature that suits the tent’s budget fiberglass-and-steel poles. This type of pole tends to be less flexible and bulkier than pricier aluminum, and it can be a pain to handle.</p><p>Like most dome-style tents, the Wireless 6 withstands wind like a champ—it fared noticeably better than the Camp Creek 6 in 15-mph gusts. The continuous curve of the dome shape allows for wind to pass over and around it. You can also get a nice cross breeze going by leaving the vestibules open. On sunny days and clear nights, take off the fly and enjoy the sky through the tent’s clear mesh canopy. Some testers, though, thought the tent was stuffy when the fly was fully closed and the sun was out.</p><p>The Wireless 6 kept us dry in everything from scattered showers to serious downpours. As always, the vestibule is useful in rain: It gives you extra breathing room and a place to store boots—or tired feet still wearing boots.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>The Wireless 6’s drawbacks have mainly to do with material quality. First, it uses fiberglass poles. These can be as strong, or even more so, than aluminum poles (especially cheap ones), but they’re always bulkier, heavier, and not as nice to handle. However, the Wireless 6’s poles were the best fiberglass ones we tested—they left no splinters, unlike those on the Camp Creek 6 or the Copper Canyon LX 6.</p><p>Though the Wireless’s fly kept water out of the tent’s interior, it took longer to fully dry once the rain stopped than some others we tested. It uses a 1200mm waterproof coating on 68 denier fabric, which didn’t seem to bead as well as higher-rated fabrics, such as those on the <a href="#upgrade-tent-for-families-north-face-wawona-6-tent">The North Face Wawona 6</a> or the <a href="#also-great-for-unpredictable-weather-rei-co-op-base-camp-4-tent-and-base-camp-6-tent">REI Co-op Base Camp 6</a> (each of those have 1500mm coatings). If you don’t have time to let the fly dry before you pack the Wireless in its duffle, we recommend laying it out when you get home so it doesn&#x27;t mildew in storage.</p><p>We were not particularly impressed by the quality of the Wireless 6’s stakes: They felt light, and two of the eight bent during our testing. The Wireless 6 also doesn’t come with a footprint, so you’ll have to purchase or make that separately. But to be fair, only one six-person tent we tested comes with a footprint, and that tent costs $950!</p><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Claimed weight (including fly and tent poles):</strong> 17 pounds 3

The Tungsten 4 shares many of the Mineral King 3’s best features, and provides 10 square feet of additional living space as well as excellent weather protection—as long as you set it up properly. Like our top pick, the Tungsten 4 is a sturdy, two-door dome-style tent that can be deployed in about 5 minutes. It uses high-quality materials such as aluminum poles, breathable mesh, and water-resistant polyester fabric, and it comes with a full fly and a footprint. The Tungsten 4’s larger size accounts for the higher price tag (about $40 more), but campers who would like that extra room may find the expense worthwhile.</p><p>The Mineral King 3 and the Tungsten 4 have similar shapes, and their pitching process is nearly identical, except that the Tungsten 4 uses two brow poles instead of one. Both tents feature pre-connected poles, and they use the same clipping method to attach the tent body. Marmot provides color-coded buckles to help users orient the Tungsten’s fly, a feature the Mineral King 3 lacks.</p><p>Like the Mineral King 3, the Tungsten 4 has a mesh canopy, though the opaque polyester part of its walls go higher, and provide more privacy, than the Mineral King’s. Its tape-seamed bathtub floor and fly had no problem handling rain. The Tungsten’s fly is not adaptable in the same way the Mineral King 3’s is, but it is treated for extra UV protection, which should help lengthen the tent’s lifespan.</p><p>In terms of how the two tents feel, the Marmot Tungsten 4 is more geared toward hunkering down and providing stalwart defense against wind, rain, and sun. In contrast to the Mineral King 3’s triangular vestibules, the Tungsten 4’s vestibules are trapezoidal, opening via a central door with protected areas on either side. This design does a better job shielding the tent from incoming—and sideways—wind and rain. The Tungsten’s two brow poles create an especially effective awning over the tent door, so very little water gets in when someone comes or goes.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_276000" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Looking out of the front door from the inside of a green Marmot Tungsten 4, our second favorite tent for two people." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/10/camping-tents-2048px-1594.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-276000"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The vestibule doors on the Marmot Tungsten 4 are arranged to equalize protection from the elements.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Claire Wilcox</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Marmot uses color coding smartly to help you position the tent as well as set it up. Both of the doors zip open to the side that’s color-coded blue, as opposed to zipping open to opposite sides. This means the vestibules equally protect the doors, rather than providing opposite entries and exits—the latter creates a situation where, in stormy weather, one side of the tent is always more exposed to blustering wind or rain. In other words, one partner—or one partner’s gear—is always going to get a dose of weather when they head out. The Tungsten 4 design equalizes exposure and protection.</p><p>In the current version of the Marmot Tungsten 4, we did notice a weakness in the tent’s pole design absent in earlier versions of the tent: The pre-bent joints seem sensitive to the wind. Here&#x27;s what we observed. Without the fly, the tent’s poles were stable in windy condition. With the added weight of the fly, the poles sometimes twisted, causing the tent to accordion inward and lose its shape wherever it was most exposed. If we Velcroed the fly directly to the poles in these areas—as the directions say to—the tent regained its structural integrity. We suspect that the bends in the current Tungsten’s poles, which are lower to the ground than in the Mineral King 3’s poles, are too acute. (Neither the Mineral King 3 nor any straight-poled dome tent we tested collapsed in this way.) Also, like the Mineral King 3, this tent is short on stakes. Ideally, Marmot would provide another six, in addition to the eight that come with it.</p><p>Like our top pick, the Tungsten 4 comes with a footprint. Unlike our top pick, the Tungsten 4 is coated with flame retardants.</p><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Claimed minimum weight (including fly and tent poles):</strong> 7 pounds 15

The base is a square: Two identical fiberglass poles feed through sleeves on the tent roof to form an X. Pegs at the corners of the tent slip into the ends of the poles, and then the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SpbZA-fzKI" rel="noopener" target="_blank">dome-shaped tent pops up (video)</a>.</p><p>The separate fly, which covers the upper half of the tent, uses a third, shorter “brow” pole to form protective peaks over the door and the back window. In our tests, an experienced camper took only about six minutes on the first try to set up the tent body alone and stake it out. Getting the fly placed and staked properly took about five more minutes. That’s pretty fast.</p><p>Measuring 10 by 10 feet, the Sundome covers an area larger than that of our family-tent top pick though its lower roof leaves it with less headroom. (The Sundome’s center height is exactly six feet, while the <a href="#best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent">Wireless 6</a> and <a href="#upgrade-tent-for-families-north-face-wawona-6-tent">The North Face Wawona 6</a> each reach six-foot-four.) The Sundome has only one door, which can be inconvenient, especially for someone trying to slip out of the tent without waking anyone.</p><p>Like the <a href="#also-great-for-unpredictable-weather-rei-co-op-base-camp-4-tent-and-base-camp-6-tent">REI Co-op Base Camp tents</a>, the Sundome combines high polyester walls with mesh higher up to facilitate stargazing, should you use the tent without the fly, without sacrificing privacy (two of the four walls have mesh from about thigh height up to the roof). That mesh also keeps the tent feeling airy and cool in hot climates.</p><p>The biggest material difference between the Sundome and our other picks is its crunchy, tarp-like polyethylene floor. The other tents in this guide all have bathtub-style tape-seamed polyester floors, which is the standard among high-quality tents. The Sundome’s tarp is clearly a budget material, but for what it was, we found it user-friendly. It’s easy to mop up after wet paws and spills, and it doesn’t hold moisture. It’s unlikely to be as durable, though, as the softer, stronger polyester found in our other picks.</p><p>Coleman makes no dedicated footprints for its tents—the idea being that the polyethylene is tough enough not to need one. (Still, we suggest that you buy a groundsheet.) The tent has two small, internal pockets—fewer than on any of our other picks—and a loop at the ceiling center to hang a small, lightweight light. It also comes with a little doormat. The tent weighs just 16 pounds, less than any other family tent we tested for this guide.</p><p>Although our test tent lasted through two moderate showers with no leaking, be aware that a couple of Amazon buyers have experienced <a class="product-link" href="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2WR56026P2KSR/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Unknown" data-vars-outbound-link="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2WR56026P2KSR/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034" data-vars-store="Unknown" data-gtm-context="chapter_best-budget-tent-coleman-sundome-6-person-tent" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Unknown" data-url="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2WR56026P2KSR/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034">leaking in rainstorms</a> and <a class="product-link" href="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R12CBNU779OL5E/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Unknown" data-vars-outbound-link="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R12CBNU779OL5E/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034" data-vars-store="Unknown" data-gtm-context="chapter_best-budget-tent-coleman-sundome-6-person-tent" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Unknown" data-url="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R12CBNU779OL5E/?tag=thewire06-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;ascsubtag=YT1034">poles breaking in high winds</a>.

Everyone who tested this tent loved it, and it’s not hard to understand why. With plenty of interior space, near-vertical walls, and a gigantic vestibule that could accommodate a golf cart, the Wawona feels more like a tiny home than a tent.</p><p>At $500, this modified dome-style tent isn’t cheap, but it represents substantial value. Many tents with similar profiles—such as the <a href="#other-good-tents">Big Agnes Dog House 6</a>—either cost more or require you buy the tent body and attachable vestibule separately. The Wawona doesn’t come with a footprint—few tents this size do—but it’s otherwise all-inclusive, and it is compact considering how much livable space you get. The price also reflects the high quality of the materials, such as the four reinforced aluminum poles, which weigh little yet result in a remarkably strong tent.</p><p>The Wawona 6 is more complex to set up than a classic dome-style tent like the Wireless 6, but not by much. We recommend doing it with two people, but one person can manage in about 15 minutes. As with any free-standing tent, with this one you stake out the four corners, and then you feed the two main tent poles through the Wawona’s fabric sleeves, which go halfway down the tent’s body. The North Face’s color-coded poles make this process easy to navigate. Orienting the fly took us a minute on our first try. (We were stubborn and didn’t look at the instructions.) Once you identify the front and back, the process is straightforward. The fly goes up and over the tent body, covering only the upper half of the mesh dome, and then forms the glorious vestibule with the aid of a third pole. Use the extra stakes and guy-lines provided to stabilize the vestibule as much as you need.</p><p>Once you set up the Wawona 6, you may not want to leave. Adults as tall as 6-foot-3 can move about this tent standing upright. With a 44-square-foot vestibule, and 86 square feet of interior living space, the tent has plenty of room to house beds, cribs, gear, pets, and camping furniture. Zippered doors can enclose the vestibule fully, so it serves as a separate room for the tent, or you can leave one or both open, so the vestibule can act like a porch or mudroom. The main tent body has a giant front door that’s oriented to make entry and exit easy for all the tent’s occupants at night, and a smaller back window that doubles as a second door.</p><p>The Wawona 6’s side-walls are high and straight, but the structure stays very stable in wind thanks to a final pole that wraps around the front and sides—and thanks to the absence of any acute angles in the poles. We were skeptical about the vestibule’s ability to handle wind, since it’s big and supported by a single pole, but it stood fast in 30 mph oceanside gusts and 15 mph hilltop winds.</p><p>The Wawona did equally well in rain. Its walls are <a href="#how-we-picked">75-denier polyester fabric</a> (tougher than the <a href="#best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent">Wireless 6</a>’s 68-denier polyester and the same as the <a href="#also-great-for-unpredictable-weather-rei-co-op-base-camp-4-tent-and-base-camp-6-tent">REI Co-op Base Camp</a>’s) that extends about two-thirds up the tent’s sides, and then is topped with mesh. The partial fly does a great job of keeping rain out of the upper, mesh areas, and cleverly placed vents maintain airflow so it never feels too stuffy. (You can also roll up the fly on the two sides to expose the mesh and let in more light.) Thanks to the high opaque walls, users have the privacy to change standing upright and plenty of storage options to stash their gear, including ceiling pockets and a three-pocket back window organizer.</p><p>The Wawona 6 uses no flame retardants. This is great for avoiding potential exposure to hazardous chemicals, but you should pitch the tent well away from any open flames.</p><p>In terms of flaws, there aren’t much to speak of with the Wawona 6, apart from the price. The North Face offers a limited lifetime warranty on the tent, and will repair most flaws and damage at its discretion.</p><p>Some campers might find the Wawona 6’s footprint unwieldy in smaller campsites, or they might simply prefer a tent with a more straightforward design. If you want a six-person tent made with high-quality materials but a traditional profile, we recommend the similarly priced <a href="#other-good-tents">Big Agnes Spicer Peak 6, or Nemo’s Aurora Highrise 6</a>. <a href="#the-competition">MSR’s Habitude 6</a> is also a good tent, but it costs about $200 more.

As for the Base Camp 6, the vestibule area covered by its front fly and rear fly is also 44 square feet (the interior measures 84 square feet).

Both come with storage sacks that you sling over one shoulder.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260560" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="An overhead view of the see-through roof of the REI Base Camp camping tent." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-4060387.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260560"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Panoramic overhead views plus convenient pockets for stowing unzipped doors—good thinking.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Dan Koeppel</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Both Base Camp tents have two doors and lots of mesh in the main tent body.

It has two main that thread through sleeves, stretching between the four corners of the tent. Generally, we like clip-on designs better, since those are easier to put together, but in the case of the Base Camp models, the sleeves add extra tension and stability throughout the tent fabric. There are also two poles that arch over each doorway and down the sides of the tent to add extra shape and support; these attach to the tent body with clips. The rain fly has an additional tent pole, too, to support the vestibule. Overall, these poles—all of them aluminum—contribute to a particularly sturdy structure, with or without the rain fly. During our testing, our Base Camp shrugged off both a rainstorm and a desert windstorm as if they were nothing. Despite losing some headroom in comparison with the <a href="#best-camping-tent-for-families-kelty-wireless-6-person-tent">Kelty Wireless 6</a> and <a href="#upgrade-tent-for-families-north-face-wawona-6-tent">The North Face Wawona 6</a>, both of which measure six-foot-four in height, the Base Camp 6 offers a substantial six-foot-two.</p><p>If anything happens to your Base Camp, REI’s warranty and replacement program has an impressive reputation. Kit lived in the 2013 version of the larger Base Camp 6 for seven months, and it stayed up the entire time, with the tent poles under constant tension—that is, until two of the poles snapped within a week of each other. After a short phone call, REI offered Kit a full replacement. (This was before Kit started reviewing tents for Wirecutter, so REI didn’t know who he was.)</p><h3>Specs</h3><p><strong>Base Camp 4:</strong></p><p><strong>Claimed weight (including fly and tent poles):</strong> 16 pounds 14 ounces</p><p><strong>Claimed packed size:</strong> 20 by 10 inches</p><p><strong>Number of doors:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Number of vestibules:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Maximum interior height:</strong> 60 inches</p><p><strong>Tent floor area:</strong> 59.7 square feet</p><p><strong>Footprint included:</strong> no</p><p><strong>Base Camp 6:</strong></p><p><strong>Claimed weight (including fly and tent poles):</strong> 20 pounds 10 ounces</p><p><strong>Claimed packed size:</strong> 24 by 11 inches</p><p><strong>Number of doors:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Number of vestibules:</strong> two</p><p><strong>Maximum interior height:</strong> 74 inches</p><p><strong>Tent floor area:</strong> 84 square feet</p><p><strong>Footprint included:</strong> no</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-good-tents"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-good-tents-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other good tents" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="11">Other good tents</h2><div id="other-good-tents-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-good-tents" aria-hidden="false"><h3>Tents for couples (that is, four-person tents)</h3><p><strong>If you need to save money and don’t need two doors:</strong> Try the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/38031/161223/4/148270/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/38031/161223/4/148270/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-tents" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="38031" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/38031/161223/4/148270/?merchant=Amazon">Kelty Grand Mesa 4</a>. When we first tested tents in 2016, the Grand Mesa was one of the few tents with a large mesh canopy. As this design became more common, the Kelty tent became less unusual and ultimately couldn’t compete with two-door models, which are more convenient for couples and have better ventilation. We think our top pick is a more well-rounded choice, but if you’re looking for a reasonably priced tent that’s just as easy to pitch, and you’re not fussed about having two doors, the Kelty Grand Mesa 4 is a good choice. It comes with a full rain fly but no footprint.</p><p><strong>If you’re a couple and want a tent that you can (probably) stand up in:</strong> Try the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50521/180573/4/163363/?merchant=REI" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="REI" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50521/180573/4/163363/?merchant=REI" data-vars-store="REI" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-tents" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="REI" data-pid="50521" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50521/180573/4/163363/?merchant=REI">North Face Wawona 4</a>.

We had liked the previous version of this tent; in 2024, North Face switched the nylon it had been using to a polyester ripstop, and we like the new version even more. It stands over six feet high—more than a full foot taller than our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-tent-for-family-and-car-camping/#runner-up-tent-for-two-people-marmot-tungsten-4-person-tent">couple’s pick</a> from Marmot. This means we could walk straight into it, no stooping required. High walls with mesh windows at the top lend privacy, a plus at more crowded campsites or for campers who prefer a sense of enclosure. Its jutting front vestibule also gave us extra elbow room while laying out sleeping pads and bags. One caveat: Although its height did make the tent feel quite expansive inside, it also made setting up the tent solo difficult for our five-foot-five tester. Once she had her companion assist with holding the other end of the poles, though, it was quick to put up. In addition, a tester of the previous model found that the Wawona 4’s higher profile caused some difficulties while setting it up in the wind. However, in our latest tests—despite some breezy summer nights at a very full and active campground (with several bear visitors roaming around)—the tent felt secure and stable inside. It comes with a rain fly and no footprint.</p><h3><b>Tents for families (that is, six-person tents)</b></h3><p><strong>If the Coleman Sundome 6 is out of stock:</strong> Try the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56085/190952/4/163397/?merchant=Core%20Equipment" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Core Equipment" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56085/190952/4/163397/?merchant=Core%20Equipment" data-vars-store="Core Equipment" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-tents" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Core Equipment" data-pid="56085" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56085/190952/4/163397/?merchant=Core%20Equipment">Core 6 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent</a>.

It also was the most affordable family tent we tested to use high-quality aluminum poles. So why is it not our top pick? Well, the Dog House 6 lacks a full fly and has no vestibule space. Instead, it comes with a pre-attached, non-removable cap fly, and short awnings that don’t do much to protect the entry.

This is the redesign of REI Co-op’s beloved Kingdom 6 tent, which was a favorite among many family campers, including Wirecutter’s deputy editor Christine Cyr Clisset. Like the old Kingdom, the Wonderland is a delightful wagon-shaped tent with two round doors on either end. It has a massive interior, and comes with a room divider for privacy, good for families with older kids. REI Co-op changed the Wonderland’s pole design to increase its stability in wind, a weakness of the old Kingdom. We don’t yet know how well it stands up over time, but it handled 35 mph winds on the North Shore of Oahu without a problem. The tent has a partial fly and lots of interior storage, but no vestibule—and it costs a hefty $600. You can purchase an attachable mudroom for an additional $125; this substantially increases the footprint of an already large tent if you’re headed to a campsite with limited space.</p><p><strong>If you want something that goes up instantly:</strong> Try the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7216/21102/4/117472/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7216/21102/4/117472/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-tents" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="7216" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/7216/21102/4/117472/?merchant=Amazon">Coleman 6-Person Instant Cabin</a>, which, thanks to telescoping, pre-attached poles, goes up and comes down much faster (in less than two minutes) than any other tent we tested.

The drawback here is that this tent offers less protection from the elements and does less to reduce condensation than models with a separate fly. Although we were impressed by the Instant Cabin’s ease of setup, we thought that it was darker and less well ventilated than the Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="the-competition"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="the-competition-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="The competition" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="12">The competition</h2><div id="the-competition-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="the-competition" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_260568" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A person tearing away a small strip of metal from a black tent pole." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=1024&amp;dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=980&amp;dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=480&amp;dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-260568"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Cheap poles = cheap tents = unhappy campers.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Caleigh Waldman</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><em>We’ve tested (and recommended) Eureka tents in past versions of this guide.

When pushed, most of the reps we talked to estimated five to 10 years, though the actual lifespan will vary widely depending on <a href="https://www.eurekacamping.com/blog/article/how-clean-your-tent" rel="noopener" target="_blank">care</a> and frequency of use (for more advice, read <a href="https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/caring-tent.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">REI’s excellent tips</a>). In conducting research for this guide, we heard multiple tales of careful campers who had been using the same tent for 15 years or more.</p><p>There are several straightforward ways to make any tent last longer:</p><ul><li><strong>Use a groundsheet.</strong> A footprint made by the same company that made your tent and that’s sized to match is ideal to prevent pooling water—and to avoid the wrinkles and crumply sound of a cheap, $10 tarp. That said, a cheap tarp will do the job just fine, as long as you buy it or cut it to fit. A tarp that’s too big will collect rainwater off the fly and funnel it right under the tent.</li><li><strong>Clean your campsite.</strong> Before you lay out your footprint and tent, make a reasonable effort to remove from the site any small stones, sticks, and briars that could puncture the tent floor.</li><li><strong>Set some ground rules.</strong> “Your tent is your sanctuary,” said camping expert Helen Olsson, who would always bring a “play tent” (an old, two-person backpacking tent) for her little kids to use as a daytime play space. When they were in the “real” tent, everyone followed Olsson’s “no shoes in the tent” rule.</li><li><strong>Zip it up.</strong> Similarly, keep your tent zipped to keep bugs and critters out, and become a pro zipper user: A thumb placed in the area forward of the direction you’re pulling the zipper will clear the fabric path and help prevent snags.</li><li><strong>Sweep out before packing.</strong> Tiny pebbles or sticks packed inside the tent can rub and erode the material over time. Another nice thing about tents that retain their structure without being staked is that a couple of people should be able to team up to lift the tent and shake out detritus before removing the poles and putting the tent away. You could also follow the lead of some campers and carry a small whisk broom and dustpan to keep the tent floor tidy during your trip.</li><li><strong>Dry before storing.</strong> “Nothing will destroy a tent faster than mildew,” tent designer Bob Howe told us. “And if it doesn’t destroy it, it just makes it unlivable.” To avoid mildew (and the accompanying stink), never, ever pack away a tent that’s still damp. Line-dry it, hang it up in your basement, or set it up in your garage until any hint of dampness is gone.</li></ul><p><em>This article was edited by Eve O’Neill and Christine Ryan.</em></p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="sources"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="sources-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Sources" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="14">Sources</h2><div id="sources-panel" class="fa265be5 cca5b811" aria-labelledby="sources" aria-hidden="false"><ol class="e2f33127"><li class="c4d81cbc" data-scp="sources_item"><p data-scp="sources_content">Bob Howe, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160422060538/http://www.howedesigngroup.com/" target="_blank" title="tent designer" rel="noreferrer">tent designer</a>, phone interview<!-- -->, March 10, 2016</p></li><li class="c4d81cbc" data-scp="sources_item"><p data-scp="sources_content">Helen Olsson, <a href="http://helen-olsson.com/" target="_blank" title="author of The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids" rel="noreferrer">author of The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids</a>, phone interview<!-- -->, March 10, 2016</p></li><li class="c4d81cbc" data-scp="sources_item"><p data-scp="sources_content">Ryan Flynn, <a href="http://www.johnsonoutdoors.com/" target="_blank" title="salesperson for Johnson Outdoors, parent company of Eureka" rel="noreferrer">salesperson for Johnson Outdoors, parent company of Eureka</a>, phone interview<!-- -->, March 7, 2016</p></li></ol></div></section></div><div class="f21e64f1 b5823c44 cdde21c0 e5f9b502 d4b00d15"><div data-scp="removed"><a id="author-bios"></a><h2 class="bcd0fe8e" data-testid="author-bio-title">Meet your <!-- -->guides</h2><div class="b56e1312"><div class="db49d064 e1e26e10 c5d85fe0"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b13cc510"><img loading="lazy" alt="" itemProp="image" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=100" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=150" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=150 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=150&amp;dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=150&amp;dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=100 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=100&amp;dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/02/claire-wilcox.jpg?auto=webp&amp;quality=60&amp;crop=1:1&amp;width=100&amp;dpr=2 640w" width="150" height="150" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce af9a8523 e8eb0d8c"/></div><div><p class="df56fada" data-testid="author-name">Claire Wilcox</p><div class="cf439f01 a6e78d5f" data-scp="removed" data-testid="social-group"></div></div></div><div data-testid="author-bio-text"><div class="f955a053">What I Cover</div><p>Claire Wilcox contributes outdoors coverage to Wirecutter.

That means you can fit six adults in a six-person tent—but you probably wouldn’t want to do that, because those adults would be sleeping hip to hip, with little spare room for gear. We concluded that the best option for two people is actually a large three-person, or smaller four-person, tent that’s 40 to 60 square feet in size. For families with three to five members, we concluded that the best option is a tent rated for six people that’s between 80 and 100 square feet. Also, the height should be at least six feet, which allows most adults to comfortably stand upright inside. “When you camp with kids, you camp with a lot of gear,” Helen Olsson, author of The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids, told us. Olsson has three kids, a dog, and a six-foot-two husband. Bigger is better when it comes to car camping, she said: “Look for a base-camp-style tent that is meant for when you pull up in your car and pitch your tent right there.” All of the tents we considered fall into that category. A dome shape: Usually designed around two- or three-pole arches, dome-style tents tend to be stronger than cabin-style designs, which maximize ceiling height by sacrificing some structural integrity. The dome shape does reduce overall livable space, but it’s better at deflecting winds and shedding rain, something you’re likely to appreciate if an unexpected storm hits. Our picks are all dome-style tents. Adequate weatherproofing and durability: A good dome-style tent should be able to withstand high winds and driving rain without pitching or collapsing. We assumed that most car campers would likely not be camping in snow, so we focused on three-season models instead. Most of the tents we looked at could handle an unexpected flurry or a coating of frost, but we wouldn’t intentionally take them on a winter-camping trip. Tent makers generally treat the fabrics with a water-repellent coating described in millimeters; 1,200 mm to 3,000 mm is the typical range found on family tents. That number does not refer to the thickness of the coating or the fabric; instead, it measures a specific test of water pressure, namely, how many millimeters of water can sit on top of the material before water starts leaking through. (As a Coleman product manager told us, “Nothing’s waterproof, not even submarines. Given the right conditions anything will leak.”) A higher number means better water resistance, but such stronger coatings aren’t always necessary: As this MSR blog post explains, “the more coating you add, the heavier and more rigid the fabric becomes, and—after a point—the more susceptible to tearing.” A typical umbrella has a rating of only 420 mm, the company’s experts point out, and it does just fine at keeping you dry. It’s natural to focus on the quality of a tent’s rain fly—you need that piece to work when the skies open up. But according to our experts, the durability of the floor of your tent is actually more important.  Tent designer Bob Howe, who has developed models for nearly every major tent maker, including Easton, Marmot, The North Face, REI, and Sierra Designs, said that when it comes to a tent floor, two lightweight layers are often stronger than one heavy layer; he suggested using a groundsheet or footprint, even with a high-quality tent floor. If the tent you buy doesn’t come with a footprint (two of our recommended tents, the Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3 and the Marmot Tungsten 4, do), we recommend purchasing a companion footprint, if one is available. A footprint doesn’t take up much space, is relatively inexpensive, and is much easier to repair or replace than a tent bottom if it tears. A basic tarp can do in a pinch. The right materials for the job: On most tents, the walls and flies are made of either nylon or polyester. Nylon weighs less but is more susceptible to UV damage, which makes it better for backpacking, when a tent spends most of its daylight hours packed up. Car campers generally leave their tents up for much longer periods of time, increasing the material’s UV exposure. As polyester is stiffer and heavier than nylon but not as susceptible to UV damage, Howe told us, and it doesn’t absorb water like nylon does, it’s generally better for car camping. It’s also less expensive. To compare tent fabrics, you also need to know their overall rip strength. For most fabrics, rip strength is expressed as a measurement of the diameter of the fibers in their thread, or a denier—the higher the denier, the stronger the fabric. We found 40 denier up to 150 denier to be typical for car-camping tents; you can read more about these measurements in gear manufacturer MSR’s blog post and in this Outside article. As for poles, Howe explained to us that each material has its advantages and drawbacks: Aluminum poles are far lighter and slide together more easily but cost more, while fiberglass-and-steel poles are often trickier to fit together and can leave splinters in your palms. They can, however, be stronger in high winds. Ease of setup: We looked for dummy-proof tents that were intuitive to set up and that a lone person could erect fairly quickly. If you’ve ever arrived at a campsite after dark with two small kids who have been stewing in the backseat for hours, you know that dealing with a tent is often a one-person job. We’ve also found that a car-camping tent is the kind of item your friends may want to borrow from time to time. Those friends may well be novice campers, so we wanted something that the uninitiated but reasonably intelligent could erect, even if the original instructions had disappeared long ago. (You’re going to lose the instructions. Everyone loses the instructions.) We also wanted self-standing tents, which can stay up on their own. Even so, you should, ideally, stake down each corner securely; in some crowded campgrounds, however, finding a flat spot with soil soft enough to do that can be difficult. A tent that requires staking to stand up—especially a larger, six-person tent—is unwieldy, and it’ll be impossible to set up on a hard surface such as blacktop or on raised wooden tent decks. It is also important to consider the way in which the tent poles attach to the tent. Many of our picks use grommet attachments, which are more secure and simple to repair than key attachments if anything should break. Some of our tent picks also have guy-line systems that secure their outer rain fly—although most people probably won’t need to use those often. Guy-line systems are somewhat unique to each tent, with every model boasting its own specific rope bites and tie-downs. (Kit scoured YouTube tutorials and found this video to be the most informative tutorial on guy lines. With this video and a little practice, you’ll soon be pitching tents like a pro.) Affordability: Car-camping tents should be relatively inexpensive. They don’t need to be the top of the line or made of the lightest possible materials or the most advanced fabrics (something you’d likely look for in a backpacking tent). We decided that the tents for this guide should not be precious items—but they shouldn’t be disposable, either. When we researched couples’ tents in 2022, we found no tents below $150 worth considering; our cap was $400. For our 2023 family tent testing, after completing our research we realized that $500 was now the average price for a good-quality tent. Below this amount, the flaws and tradeoffs started to mount. Still, we felt that $500 was a lot to pay for a family tent, so we looked for options that were more affordable and didn’t sacrifice too much. Extra features: Stake design, pole strength and arrangements, rain-fly tie-downs, door construction, zipper strength, and gear-loft placements all play a role in the overall comfort and enjoyment of your tent. We also considered privacy, vestibules, extra headroom, and any other bonuses. Once we had our criteria nailed down, we scoured Amazon reviews of four- and six-person tents, as well as owner reviews on retailer sites such as Backcountry, Cabela’s, Campmor, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Eastern Mountain Sports, L.L.Bean, and REI, plus professional reviews from GearJunkie and GearLab. We perused the lines of outdoor companies like Big Agnes, Marmot, and The North Face. And we studied the offerings of big-box stores including Costco, Sears, Target, and Walmart. We then requested test samples of the models that met our criteria and also had a consistent record of positive reviews.","title":"How we picked","slug":"how-we-picked","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_260488","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"size-full wp-image-260488","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg","alt":"A group of 10 camping tents set up in the middle of a desert.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-50.jpeg"}},{"data":" We took some tents to Greggs Hideout, on the Arizona side of Lake Mead.","type":"text"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Caleigh Waldman"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"For earlier incarnations of this guide, we tested tents in Arizona (alongside Lake Mead and just south of the ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"href":"http://hualapai-nsn.gov/","rel":"noopener","target":"_blank"},"children":[{"data":"Hualapai reservation","type":"text"}]},{"data":", near the Grand Canyon) and southern California (near Joshua Tree National Park; at the ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"href":"https://www.recreation.gov/camping/mountain-oak/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO\u0026parkId=73583","rel":"noopener","target":"_blank"},"children":[{"data":"Mountain Oak Campground","type":"text"}]},{"data":", an hour or so east of Los Angeles; and at ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"href":"https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/lpnf/recarea/?recid=11027","rel":"noopener","target":"_blank"},"children":[{"data":"Wheeler Gorge Campground","type":"text"}]},{"data":", outside Ojai, California).","type":"text"}]},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"After our longtime top-pick tent for two people ran into some stock issues in 2021, we researched new models and redesigns, and we assembled a batch of small tents for testing in March 2022, on Oahu.

Through rainy nights and soggy mornings, on windy afternoons, and under an intense midday sun, this tent’s primarily polyester mesh body, two large doors, and adaptable polyester fly kept us dry, well ventilated, and in good spirits. We were surprised at first to see the Mineral King 3 come out on top because it was the smallest tent in our test group. But all our testers, including our tallest panelists, gravitated toward this tent. What sets the Mineral King 3 apart is its combination of easy setup, solid weather resistance, and livability in variable conditions. It comes with its own footprint, and is made of high-quality materials that are easy to handle. Simply put, it was the most effective, user-friendly tent in any situation we encountered. It also delivered a little something extra: Not only did the Mineral King 3 keep us sheltered in shifting weather, but key design features—such as a barely-there mesh canopy, generous vestibule space, and a well-placed toggle on top of the rain fly—kept us connected to the environment. One night during testing, for example, clouds loomed in the distance with clear skies overhead. After we pitched the tent, the Mineral King 3’s adaptable fly let us leave half the mesh dome uncovered. We watched as night fell and the first stars appeared. At the first sign of rain, it took only a few seconds—and a quick hand stuck outside the tent—to unfurl the fly and secure it for a dry night’s sleep. When we awoke, we could roll back one part of the vestibule, make coffee, and watch the sky lighten even though it was still raining. Despite having the smallest capacity of the tents we tested—42.5 square feet—the Mineral King 3 easily fits two people with a full-size mattress, or two sleeping pads, and gear. Two large vestibules add nearly 40 square feet combined—that is, 18.75 square feet on either side. Setting up this tent is simple: You stake out the four corners, extend the tent’s two pre-connected poles, and dock them into grommets. The tent’s body attaches to the poles via plastic clips, and a third pole (the “brow”) fits into two grommets sewn into a seam above the tent’s two doors. These now-common clip-style setups are generally intuitive and can be accomplished in minutes. Certainly this was true of the Mineral King 3. Under good conditions one person pitched the tent in under five minutes. In high winds, it took us 10 minutes to pitch and fully secure the tent fly with extra lines and stakes. All three poles—two main poles and the shorter brow pole—are made of strong, lightweight aluminum and come pre-bent and pre-connected. The bend in the poles has a subtle yet significant affect on the tent’s structure and interior feel: As you clip the tent fabric to the poles to create the dome, bends pull the mesh outward in the head and shoulder area. Where traditional dome tents often feel cramped, the Mineral King 3 offers a little extra space. Only one other couples’ tent we tested had this feature—our runner-up, the Marmot Tungsten 4—and we found it made both tents more livable. We also appreciated the shepherd’s hook stakes that come with the tent. Most of the tents we tested came with basic L-shaped stakes, which tended to spin around in the soil and slip a line. The shepherd’s hook design, in contrast, held lines secure. Underneath the fly, the Mineral King 3 has a full mesh dome with a waterproof, tape-seamed bathtub-style polyester floor. The overall feeling inside the tent is airy and comfortable. The tent doors are nearly wall-sized, and after you unzip them, you simply stuff them into pockets, rather than having to roll and toggle-tie the fabric. Another two hanging pockets plus loops for a ceiling hammock provide simple yet effective interior storage. The Mineral King 3’s fly attaches intuitively with plastic buckles and has well-placed guy tabs. You can secure the fly to the poles with Velcro ties underneath the fly, so that the extra lines anchored the whole tent, not just the thin protective fabric, but we only needed to do so in very windy conditions. When the fly is fully deployed, the tent has two vestibules, which provide additional gear storage and also help ventilate the tent in inclement weather. And in a stroke of design brilliance, a small loop sewn into the top of the fly makes it possible to roll up one half of the fly, exposing the full mesh canopy while still providing shade and privacy. When the weather permits, it’s fun to omit the fly entirely, but a word to the wise for those planning a fly-less night: Besides providing protection from rain, the fly also helps manage condensation. Though condensation (video) occurs in all conditions, it’s worse when your surroundings are wet and humid, and anytime you have a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of a tent. But if your tent has a breathable inner layer, like the mesh walls of the Mineral King 3, condensation will gather on the fly instead of on the interior of the tent itself. At $375, the Mineral King 3 isn’t cheap. But it’s one of the least expensive tents we found that had no significant drawbacks and will truly cover your bases for three-season camping. The tent also comes with its own footprint, a groundsheet that protects the tent from abrasion, which we recommend that you have. Weighing just 7 pounds, the tent is light enough to double for backpacking trips, especially if you divide the pieces among hikers. Note: The Mineral King 3 was the only tent in our test group free of fire-retardant chemicals. That means it’s less likely to contain potentially hazardous materials, but it is also less fireproof than tents coated in flame retardants. As always, it’s a good idea to pitch your tent far away from any open fires. Flaws but not dealbreakers Our main quibble with the Mineral King 3 is that it comes with only six stakes. (Our runner-up pick comes with eight.) Six is enough to secure the tent and fly but not to fully secure the tent’s extra lines in very windy conditions. This shouldn’t be an issue in most situations, but if you’re headed into a particularly windy place or simply want some backup, we suggest picking up four extra tent stakes at your local outdoor shop or online. These inexpensive stakes are comparable to the ones that accompany the Mineral King 3; these slightly more expensive stakes will serve you well in any car-camping terrain. One other thing: Should you remove the fly, you’ll also be giving up privacy—something to think about if you expect to use your tent primarily in crowded campgrounds.

Unlike some cheap tents we’ve tested over the years, the Coleman Sundome has a simple shape and pole design that should be easy for even inexperienced campers to figure out. The base is a square: Two identical fiberglass poles feed through sleeves on the tent roof to form an X. Pegs at the corners of the tent slip into the ends of the poles, and then the dome-shaped tent pops up (video). The separate fly, which covers the upper half of the tent, uses a third, shorter “brow” pole to form protective peaks over the door and the back window. In our tests, an experienced camper took only about six minutes on the first try to set up the tent body alone and stake it out. Getting the fly placed and staked properly took about five more minutes. That’s pretty fast. Measuring 10 by 10 feet, the Sundome covers an area larger than that of our family-tent top pick though its lower roof leaves it with less headroom. (The Sundome’s center height is exactly six feet, while the Wireless 6 and The North Face Wawona 6 each reach six-foot-four.) The Sundome has only one door, which can be inconvenient, especially for someone trying to slip out of the tent without waking anyone. Like the REI Co-op Base Camp tents, the Sundome combines high polyester walls with mesh higher up to facilitate stargazing, should you use the tent without the fly, without sacrificing privacy (two of the four walls have mesh from about thigh height up to the roof). That mesh also keeps the tent feeling airy and cool in hot climates. The biggest material difference between the Sundome and our other picks is its crunchy, tarp-like polyethylene floor. The other tents in this guide all have bathtub-style tape-seamed polyester floors, which is the standard among high-quality tents. The Sundome’s tarp is clearly a budget material, but for what it was, we found it user-friendly. It’s easy to mop up after wet paws and spills, and it doesn’t hold moisture. It’s unlikely to be as durable, though, as the softer, stronger polyester found in our other picks. Coleman makes no dedicated footprints for its tents—the idea being that the polyethylene is tough enough not to need one. (Still, we suggest that you buy a groundsheet.) The tent has two small, internal pockets—fewer than on any of our other picks—and a loop at the ceiling center to hang a small, lightweight light. It also comes with a little doormat. The tent weighs just 16 pounds, less than any other family tent we tested for this guide. Although our test tent lasted through two moderate showers with no leaking, be aware that a couple of Amazon buyers have experienced leaking in rainstorms and poles breaking in high winds. When it comes to tents, you tend to get pretty close to what you pay for. If you’re likely to be camping in downpours or high winds, don’t rely on a sub-$150 tent.

The tent has a partial fly and lots of interior storage, but no vestibule—and it costs a hefty $600.

It comes with a full rain fly but no footprint. If you’re a couple and want a tent that you can (probably) stand up in: Try the North Face Wawona 4. This is a scaled-down version of our upgrade pick tent for families. We had liked the previous version of this tent; in 2024, North Face switched the nylon it had been using to a polyester ripstop, and we like the new version even more. It stands over six feet high—more than a full foot taller than our couple’s pick from Marmot. This means we could walk straight into it, no stooping required. High walls with mesh windows at the top lend privacy, a plus at more crowded campsites or for campers who prefer a sense of enclosure. Its jutting front vestibule also gave us extra elbow room while laying out sleeping pads and bags. One caveat: Although its height did make the tent feel quite expansive inside, it also made setting up the tent solo difficult for our five-foot-five tester. Once she had her companion assist with holding the other end of the poles, though, it was quick to put up. In addition, a tester of the previous model found that the Wawona 4’s higher profile caused some difficulties while setting it up in the wind. However, in our latest tests—despite some breezy summer nights at a very full and active campground (with several bear visitors roaming around)—the tent felt secure and stable inside. It comes with a rain fly and no footprint. Tents for families (that is, six-person tents) If the Coleman Sundome 6 is out of stock: Try the Core 6 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent. Core Equipment is a relatively new company, popular on Amazon, whose products seem designed to compete directly with products from Coleman, an outdoor legacy brand that has been around 1900. We tested Core’s basic six-person dome-style and cabin-style tents, and each performed as well as the Coleman tent did. (The Core 6 Person Dome Tent that we tested has since been replaced by Core’s 6 Person Dome Plus Tent, which we plan to take a look at.) We can’t yet speak for the long-term durability of the tent—or the company—which is why we’re not making it our budget pick, but we’ll continue testing it. If the Wireless 6 is out of stock or you’re camping in fair weather and prefer more indoor space: Try the Big Agnes Dog House 6. Although technically a dome tent like the Wireless 6, the Dog House 6 has walls that are more vertical, and more head and shoulder space as well—its peak height is 80 inches, taller than any of our picks. It also was the most affordable family tent we tested to use high-quality aluminum poles. So why is it not our top pick? Well, the Dog House 6 lacks a full fly and has no vestibule space. Instead, it comes with a pre-attached, non-removable cap fly, and short awnings that don’t do much to protect the entry. We weren’t psyched to be in this tent even in light rain or when the wind picked up significantly. (As of fall 2024, Big Agnes may have discontinued this tent; we’re investigating.) If The North Face Wawona 6 is out of stock: Try the Big Agnes Spicer Peak 6 or the Nemo Aurora Highrise 6. Both of these tents are well-structured, dome-style tents with high-quality workmanship and design. We preferred the single huge vestibule of the Wawona 6 to the smaller front and back vestibules on these two tents, but either tent would be a good runner-up. Both contain about 83 square feet of space, but the Aurora has more of a bread-loaf shape with two big doors running lengthwise—great for kids who want to run in and out—and a peak height of six-foot-five, while the Spicer Peak has doors at the narrower ends, and a peak height of six-foot-eight. For longer stays or families with older kids: Try the REI Co-op Wonderland 6 Tent. This is the redesign of REI Co-op’s beloved Kingdom 6 tent, which was a favorite among many family campers, including Wirecutter’s deputy editor Christine Cyr Clisset. Like the old Kingdom, the Wonderland is a delightful wagon-shaped tent with two round doors on either end. It has a massive interior, and comes with a room divider for privacy, good for families with older kids. REI Co-op changed the Wonderland’s pole design to increase its stability in wind, a weakness of the old Kingdom. We don’t yet know how well it stands up over time, but it handled 35 mph winds on the North Shore of Oahu without a problem. The tent has a partial fly and lots of interior storage, but no vestibule—and it costs a hefty $600. You can purchase an attachable mudroom for an additional $125; this substantially increases the footprint of an already large tent if you’re headed to a campsite with limited space. If you want something that goes up instantly: Try the Coleman 6-Person Instant Cabin, which, thanks to telescoping, pre-attached poles, goes up and comes down much faster (in less than two minutes) than any other tent we tested. It also has no standalone fly, instead relying on a solid roof, which helps make setup easier. The drawback here is that this tent offers less protection from the elements and does less to reduce condensation than models with a separate fly. Although we were impressed by the Instant Cabin’s ease of setup, we thought that it was darker and less well ventilated than the Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent.","title":"Other good tents","slug":"other-good-tents","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_260568","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"size-full wp-image-260568","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg","alt":"A person tearing away a small strip of metal from a black tent pole.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2022/07/carfamilycampingtents-2048px-33.jpeg"}},{"data":" Cheap poles = cheap tents = unhappy campers.","type":"text"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Caleigh Waldman"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"em","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"We’ve tested (and recommended) Eureka tents in past versions of this guide.

Before you lay out your footprint and tent, make a reasonable effort to remove from the site any small stones, sticks, and briars that could puncture the tent floor. \tSet some ground rules. “Your tent is your sanctuary,” said camping expert Helen Olsson, who would always bring a “play tent” (an old, two-person backpacking tent) for her little kids to use as a daytime play space. When they were in the “real” tent, everyone followed Olsson’s “no shoes in the tent” rule. \tZip it up. Similarly, keep your tent zipped to keep bugs and critters out, and become a pro zipper user: A thumb placed in the area forward of the direction you’re pulling the zipper will clear the fabric path and help prevent snags. \tSweep out before packing. Tiny pebbles or sticks packed inside the tent can rub and erode the material over time. Another nice thing about tents that retain their structure without being staked is that a couple of people should be able to team up to lift the tent and shake out detritus before removing the poles and putting the tent away. You could also follow the lead of some campers and carry a small whisk broom and dustpan to keep the tent floor tidy during your trip. \tDry before storing. “Nothing will destroy a tent faster than mildew,” tent designer Bob Howe told us. “And if it doesn’t destroy it, it just makes it unlivable.” To avoid mildew (and the accompanying stink), never, ever pack away a tent that’s still damp. Line-dry it, hang it up in your basement, or set it up in your garage until any hint of dampness is gone.
