13 pegs are included in the tent. 12 are small steel stakes, one is a large plastic one. each pole (two in total) has a place to stake down the main body of the tent on either side of the pole. So 4 pegs so far. Then the "foot vestibule" and "head vestibule" also require two pegs each. So we're up to 8 to get the basic tent up. The four "corners" of the fly each need their own stake to get it off of the underlying tent. That's 12. They suggest using one more at the foot to help it keep it off of the "foot vestibule". It'd be tough to cut back on tent pegs on this one if you wanted to use the fly. Sorry for all the "quotes".

appears minimum is 8 stakes, 2 in front and back, and 2 at each segment in the main body, may need 2 more for the rain fly, it is difficult to tell from the angle of the picture
