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

This tent will beat out others that cost hundreds more for a fraction of the price. Lots of mesh for fresh air exchange, no issues in the rain, easy to set up. An equivalent would be a sierra designs meteor which comparatively is like 150 more dollars. Its definitely not a tent for super harsh winters but most places in America you could get away with just using a good sleeping bag and be just fine. Amazing for the summer time.

My husband and I finally tried out this Kelty tent and we are very impressed. The set up and tear down is super simple and the materials are high quality. We loved a lot of the features like the two vestibules, the air vents, and the high tub so that you can take off the rain fly but still have privacy. It also withstood a pretty heavy rain storm without any leaking. We had also purchased the foot print to go with it and it fit perfectly.

This tent is incredible! I have a smaller Kelty tent that I absolutely love, so when I had need of a larger tent, I stuck with Kelty. So glad I did! It’s much roomier than I anticipated, extremely easy to set up and take down. The two doors insure good ventilation and easy access for everyone. It comes with a wide-mouth bag to make packing it back up a cinch. There truly aren’t enough stars to indicate how great this tent is.

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

Great lightweight little tent that goes up simply and fast, and comes back down just as easily. I bought the two person tent, but like with all two-person tents, it's really best for a solo camper, plus a little bit of gear (boots, clothes, etc.). Two people will be pretty cramped. I put down a tarp first, then staked out the tent on that. Kelty's "nobendium" stakes are great, I pounded them into the ground with a mallet, though I could have used a flat rock. To pull them out I used a multitool. About my only complaint is that the zippers curve from the bottom to going up, and it might be slightly too tight a curve, the zippers can go slow there. Quality, construction, ease of use, practical features are all completely top notch. You will not be disappointed with this tent.

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

Once again, I find myself amazed by Kelty's combination of quality and affordability. Having purchased numerous Kelty backpacks, it's no surprise that their tents uphold the same principles. The tent itself boasts an incredibly easy setup, sturdy construction, and reasonable weight. It proves to be a perfect choice for regions with temperature fluctuations. Considering the price point, weight, and quality, the cost truly feels like a steal. If you're open to trading a bit more weight for a warmer night's sleep, this becomes an excellent option. Kelty's enhancements over other companies are the kind you'd expect from individuals who use their own gear. The tent bag features a wide opening, the tent poles effortlessly slide into durable pockets, and it even comes with high-quality stakes. Personal Experience: I had the chance to take this tent camping with a group of 20-30 people. Out of all the tents, this one was the quickest to both set up and take down. Its distinctive colors and material thickness also made it stand out in the crowd.

Great tent easy to set up but only lasted two year before it started getting holes. I’m 6’2” and I have to bend over in it
