Wenzel Klondike 16 X 11-Feet 8-Person Family Cabin Dome Tent (Light Grey/Taupe/Red)

Best Family Camping Tents - This tent is absolutely huge and works perfectly. I setup the whole thing up myself in our backyard prior to our camping trip all by myself is pretty easy.  The 3 sided screen room, mesh ceiling and large screen windows provide excellent ventilation! The back room is big enough for two queen blows up mattresses and then still two people in bags at their feet. Nice air flow and very comfortable. Bigger than I thought it was going to be but it still made for a great camping experience. And we could both stand up straight in the tent, which our backs appreciated. The Wenzel Klondike 16 X 11-Feet 8-Person is easy to put up and take down, folds easily and fits back in the bag easily.

Wenzel Klondike 16 X 11-Feet 8-Person Like and Dislike

You really do need two people to get the fly over the roof, but one person might be able to get the main body of the tent up by themselves. Here Wenzel Klondike 16 X 11-Feet 8-Person Like and Dislike.

Like:

• plenty of room and a nice high roof that a six foot person could easily stand up in
• easy set up
• the screen room can be closed up and used for sleeping, and it has a floor
• construction seems very good, very little leakage on the seams in the face of 20+mph wind and torrential rain (and I didn't seal the seams as I'd intended to)
• the screen roof and lots of windows should make this a great summer tent

Dislike:

• the large interior and open roof make it tough for two (or three) bodies to heat up. You lose most of your heat through the roof and we were cold despite sleeping bags, air mattress, extra blankets and thermals, and it was only in the low 50s that night.
• the windows do not fully zip across the top, so high wind will eventually blow them open.
• it's heavy and a little bulky. I think it is probably close to 25 pounds, so you aren't going to want to carry this baby very far.
• there are four angled joints that hold the roof poles to the side poles. The fit is not very tight, and if you lose even one of these, you are not going to be able to set up the tent. I plan to glue these to one of the poles, because they are black and easy to lose while breaking camp.

All in all, this is a great tent! Well worth the price. I would definitely recommend this tent to others who are looking for a two room tent.
