Premium camping tents for sale will give you the durability necessary for even the toughest camp environments. They utilize thicker fabrics, better seam sealers and full coverage rainflies that keep out wind and precipitation.
Premium tents feature multiple venting options and deployable rainfly windows to improve airflow and moisture control, while budget models such as Coleman Skydome and Sundome tents only have a single door which may make access more challenging for families.
MSR Habitude 6
Are you looking for an ideal camping experience with family and friends? Look no further! This tent features an expansive footprint and standing height to make for an incredible camping experience, while its ample vestibule can store all their gear with ease.
This tent boasts some impressive materials: 7000-series aluminum poles, DWR 68D polyester taffeta and DAC MX nylon are among its many features that set it apart. Furthermore, pitching it is effortless thanks to an included stuff bag which contains everything needed.
In contrast to other tents in its category which feel vulnerable in inclement conditions, the MSR Habitude 6 appears very stable under adverse weather. Crafted by MSR’s backpacking tent experts, this model makes an exceptional option for backcountry camping during inclement conditions.
Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3
If camping is something you plan on doing frequently, choosing an investment tent that can handle rain and snow conditions year after year is ideal. Consider investing in something insulated, spacious and sturdy enough for year-round camping trips.
Mountain Hardwear may specialize in technical gear such as the Trango tent seen Himalaya climbers using, but their camping tent lineup is growing increasingly popular among less experienced campers. Their Mineral King 3 tent is comparable in quality with more premium offerings like REI Wonderland and Marmot Limestone but at a much more reasonable price point.
This tent is an excellent option for families wanting to spend several nights camping out in moderate conditions; its large footprint and generous interior square footage make it comfortable enough for four. Plus, it comes with a footprint to further reduce weight, making set up easier than ever!
REI Skyward 4
Camping enthusiasts looking for a sturdy family tent with great ventilation should consider the REI Skyward 4 tent as an option. It provides both space and weather protection while boasting an attractive floor and vestibule area – making for an enjoyable camping experience!
This tent’s near-vertical walls and pre-bent poles create an expansive feel, making it suitable for couples or families looking for plenty of room. However, its height makes it more vulnerable to high winds so if there’s the chance of strong gusts you should pitch it near a windbreak or use guy lines.
The REI Skyward 4 tent provides ample storage options, with two mesh hanging pockets set vertically along each wall and a hang loop in the center for hanging items. Although these pockets are useful, we’d prefer more lower down so we could access them while lying in bed. REI also uses solution-dyed mesh material, which reduces both water consumption and energy costs.
Coleman Sundome 4
The Coleman Sundome 4 tent offers an appealing combination of simplicity and budget-minded pricing, making it a good option for new campers or anyone on a tight budget. It has performed admirably in wind and rain tests and provides enough floor space to comfortably sleep two people on its mattress-style platform bed. Unfortunately, however, its delicate materials tend to wear and tear quickly while its fiberglass poles can break under harsh conditions causing disruption in its structure.
The Coleman Pop Up tent is extremely easy to assemble; just slide the black strap over the top of it, pull, and watch as it pops open in less than 10 seconds! Furthermore, there’s adequate ventilation thanks to large windows and a ground vent that pushes air up and out.
For extra comfort, consider either the Kelty Discovery 6 or Alps Mountaineering Meramac 6. These tents feature improved netting, aluminum poles, and an expanded rainfly that fully covers your tent rather than leaving gaps at its doorway.
