Kelty 4/6 Person Freestanding Rumpus Tent for Camping, Car Camping, Festivals and Family with Extra Large Vestibule

So far, I love this tent. It is very spacious and the vestibule porch is amazing! It has been rain tested in both light rain, and a moderate storm, and I have not noticed any leaking whatsoever. It's been left up in some moderate to high winds, as well, and stayed standing. There was some condensation on the first morning I checked on it, but it wasn't too bad. It's not been hot enough to truly test condensation, yet, though, in my opinion. That said, I'm just excited it doesn't leak during rain, stays standing with wind, is spacious, and has a porch.The tent was fairly easy to set up. I did it by myself. I have the 6 person version. I'm only 5'2" so the rainfly portion was a bit difficult for me to get on, and likely quite comical for my neighbors to watch, but a taller person may not have as much issue with that. It would be easier with two people to set up the rainfly portion, probably. I found the tent portion to be easy enough on my own, overall, though.The poles are fiberglass, and they do shed some, so that sucked. I got some in my hand, and I hate that feeling. I used to do color guard in school, and my flag poles had that same issue. That part is probably the only real negative for me, on this tent, however.I haven't done a real camping trip, away from my property, yet, but when I do, if something changes, I'll update this review. For now, though, I would absolutely recommend this tent.I have added a ton of photos, as well.

I bought a used 'like new' tent from a supplier for $237. When it arrived, it had two broken tent poles and missing the tent-dome storage shelf. I like the Rumpus 6 design, just wished the supplier had been more thorough/honest with their 'used-like new' assessment.Things I like about the Rumpus 6: I can stand straight up and have plenty of head room, it's 6 ft at the dome; it easily sleeps 5-6 people, it's footprint is 9ftx10ft; the expanded vestibule with the extended fly provides about an additional 4 feet of storage/activities, the tent pole sleeve-footings make it easy to set up alone, the tent comes with a convenient generous sized duffle bag that you don't have to squeeze the tent into when packing. The tent is light to carry. The color scheme looks cool.Things I could see improvements on: The fly pole goes inside a sleeve instead of attaching to exoskeleton tent hooks like the structural poles, making it hard to set the fly up alone. The fly pole doesn't have sleeve footings to anchor into like the structural poles, it just rests inside two eyelet loops on the ground. The fly pole has aluminum caps with the shock cord melted inside of them which makes it very difficult to remove the caps to replace broken shock cord, instead of the plastic caps like on the structural poles. The tent has no windows/airflow once the fly is on which makes it stuffy (there is one small 6inx5in inlet high on the fly for apparent airflow, but it is sadly inadequate), perhaps the fly vestibule door and the side walls could have a roll up mesh window... The duffle bag could use some compression straps/belts on the outside to take up slack once the tent is packed.

Definitely a great buy!! Easy to put up, took me 20 min alone on my first try in my living room and 15 min with my partner at camp, and stood up well to light-moderate rain and wind with no issues. The vestibule is wonderful!! Both the tent and vestibule are so spacious, tent could def fit 4 people comfortably plus a big dog or 2. We laid down a small tarp in the vestibule to act as a mud room when it began to rain but also could easily be used as storage to keep your stuff from prying eyes. The fly was insulating, even just the base tent was insulating, and the whole tent looked great too, just like the pictures. There are two doors and both are accessible with the fly on for great ventilation no matter the weather. Definitely invest in the foot print!!! If you just use a big tarp that is larger than the dimensions of the floor and it rains…. You will have a bunch of water pooling under the tent. Also the floor is waterproof but thin and you don’t want to risk a rip on a sharp rock or stick.
