Kelty Yellowstone 6 Tent 6-Person 3-Season - 2007 BCS

Kelty fills the niche for families looking for quality, affordable shelters. The Yellowstone 6 is no different. The five of us fit nicely with all of our bedding, aand the walls were plenty steep and high enough to fit a full-sized cot. Its easy enough to assemble that we let our 3 boys (all under age 12) set it up while we get the rest of the camp in order. We have used the Kelty in harsh desert and mountain environments without any noticable weaknesses. I highly recommend this tent for car camping families.

I've sworn by Kelty tents since I was a boy scout a long time ago and this one is no different. We bought this tent to replace a Kelty Gunnison 2, which was an awesome tent, but we needed more room for when we take the nieces camping with us. We've only used this tent for a 3 day trip to the woods so far and have been as pleased as can be. We arrived to the camp late, in pitch black conditions with a headlamp, the setup took me and a buddy about 15 minutes. It kept us dry during a brief downpour one night, and provided excellent ventilation. I noticed that the zipper gets stuck if you're not paying attention, but that's the only fault I noticed. This tent is great for car camping and wooded adventures alike!

I got the Kelty yellowstone 6 because of the good reviews that said it was easy to put up.
Everone was right. It was easy even my first time out and this little puppy held up to the wind, the rain, and even my kids.
THe zipper on the door gets stuck, but besides that it is a great tent.
Roomy enough for my big air mattress, and the two kids. Even without the mattress sleeping 6 would be real tight.

After much debate I had a friend recommened a kelty yellowstone tent, who loves their 6 person. I purchased the same 6 person yellowstone. I knew I needed a quick set up tent that was durable. I camp on the Lake Superior Shoreline in Mich. This week we had different weather every day. Very windy, Stormey, Hot and cold, we even had winter coats one morning. anyway I found kelty to stand up to the reputation the one night the tent was actually bending form the gale and it held very well. It was easily to take down, clean and put away. I will be looking for a screen house for next year. p.s. backcountry's customer service and sales rep's were excellant to deal with. thanks, emily vanwassehnova. Michigan
