Kelty Green River 6 person Tent (Navy/Grey)
Customer Review: Great 1 room tent
Just used this for our first camping trip - big 1 room tent - so if you don't have to have more than one room this is a great tent - the vestibule is a great mud room/storage area, which frees up the inside for sleeping & stuff - we fit a queen mattress, 2 small kids sleeping bags and a pack n play inside and still had extra room... rained the first night - all night - not a drop inside, just condensation. Be aware that the vestibule is not part of the Kelty "footprint" for the tent, so make sure you have a big tarp for the whole tent, or an extra tarp for just the vestibule. Overall a great one room family tent, water tight, spacious, easy to put up - looking forward to using it again.
Customer Review: Spacious and a porch to boot
The coolest thing about this tent has to be the big vestibule. At first I thought it would be a place to hang out in. But it's a much better mud room -- a great place to store gear, to get changed and to act as a first-line barrier to stop bugs from getting into the tent. Most important, having the vestibule maximizes your floor space, which is ample enough for my family of four (one queen, and two single air mattresses). But the tent and vestibule combined do have a huge footprint, so be sure your favorite campgrounds have larger pads. Because it is so large, setup is a two-person job (three people are even better). And setup is not exactly intuitive, although the instructions are good and gets pretty easy with practice. On our last trip, we were deluged the first night by thunderstorms. The second night, we got socked again by heavy rain. After all that, I only spotted a few drops of water in the tent -- and that may have been perspiration rolloff. I should warn that the seam between the floor and tent body, although raised, is not taped; you should seal it because it is exposed on the backside of the tent. One thing that still perplexes me about the vestibule is the way the rollup blinds hook to the side of the walls. It takes a little practice to stake out the footings for the vestibule to ensure there isn't too much sag in the blinds, and the side blinds invariably sag anyway. I definitely will add a few Velcro strips to get a better fit against the screens for those cool or rainy nights. The other strange thing is that door to the tent is half-screen and half tent fabric. I suppose the vestibule and door are configured this way to assist in ventilation. The ventilation is good in both cool and warmer weather. If it gets really hot, you'll have no choice but to roll the rainfly up and over the mesh roof. One other point. Make sure to use all the guy lines provided. This seems to maximize air flow and prevents rainfly/tent body contact that may cause some water to get in. Overall, I think this tent was a good choice. It stood up well in wind, seems to hold its own against the wettest weather, and provides a lot of flexibility because of the roomy vestibule.
