Car camping at it's finest

Ranked #335 - Family Camping Tents
December 9, 2005
I picked one of these up after spending years bouncing from Coleman to Coleman. I didn't think a tent could be made that was waterproof, yet here one is. Its plenty roomy with two additional storage pockets on the ends that they don't mention. Theres great ventilation with the rain fly on. Im definitely not going to putting one of these in a backpack and taking off, but it does pack down nicely in its own bag (8x12x20 est.) I'm guessing it will be the last tent I buy for many years to come. The only problem I have is the lack of privacy when the rain fly is taken off as the roof is entirely mesh. Still not enough to take it down from a 5 though.
