Bunk House

I do a lot of different types of camping. When I camp with my wife I take a 6 person tent with an inflatable mattress. The northface wewana will be a great tent for you and last a long time if you take care of it. Big agnes also has one to consider... [https://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Bunk-House-Backpacking/dp/B0DSPDHWTJ?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Bunk-House-Backpacking/dp/B0DSPDHWTJ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1) We use an inflatable queen mattress I got at walmart (self inflating with a usb and I use an anchor power bank). Then we bring sheets and 3 wool blankets plus some kind of heavy quilt or comforter. My wife doesn't like sleeping bags, although personally I prefer them.

I have the Bunkhouse4. It is awesome and is absolutely palatial as a single man. Easy to set up solo as well. The rain fly is bomber but limits the ventilation slightly. You'll appreciate it on heavy rain days. I got it on sale for ~$400. Extremely awesome value at that kind of discount.

The 4 is probably the one for you. You'd be absolutely swimming in the 6. The 4 is 90"x92" for the interior floor. In my mind if you put two cots together and a double mattress you might eat up too much of the center of the tent. You would have room in there but it would be towards one side, where the ceiling height is lower. I feel like it would be taking too much of the valued high-ceiling real estate where you get to stand up to change clothes. How wide is the mattress? How tall are you and the lady?

>big agnes bunk house 6 I have the 4 and I have no regrets about purchasing it.

Big Agnes has a better fly and since I had a chance to compare the two side-by-side, I believe it also has better fabric, better poles and probably better design. But that can be subjective so YMMV

Big agnes bunk house 6. Loving it so far, about 10 trips later

Bunk house is awesome, sturdy, roomy, ventilates well and can stand up to strong winds and downpour. It takes about 15 minutes to setup with two people. We have a 6p. It is heavy though, I hope you aren't planning to hike with it. As for the snowpeak while I have no experience with that tent I've never seen anything bad from snow peak. Their products quality is top notch. If you trying to be mobile I'm not sure tents this big are a good choice. Copper spur can be setup in 2 minutes and they have a 5p version

The Big Agnes Bunk House is solid ime. I've used the 4 person version and it's got great headroom, easy setup, and packs down smaller than the Gazelle. The Nemo Aurora is similarly nice, slightly different design but same idea.

Big Agnes 4 person tent is great! Bunk house 4 I think its called. It should fit right in your budget, relatively Compact and smaller than something like the T4 Gazzele's (I have one of them too). We winter camp in the Big A as well. We use it for 2 of us with PLENTY of usable room inside. Has a really nice, long rain fly, vestibule front and back, interior pockets and good ventilation. Highly recommended!

Have the Bunk House 4. Perfect size for 1-2 people with cots. I’m just over 6’ and can’t stand full height without my head brushing the top, but it’s comfortable enough to get up and get dressed without slouching.

The answer is it depends, however when you ask if anyone will frown on it I can honestly save I've never given a single care about what size tent someone else is using at a campground. I just mind my business. Your biggest concerns will be making sure your campsite has a space large enough to accommodate your giant tent (many won't) and how big of a pain it will be to setup and takedown tents that large. I have a 6 person tent for car camping with my wife and it feels giant when you include the large vestibule. I would check out some 6-8 person tents before settling on a 10-12. Staying under 8 person will keep a lot more campsite options open for you. If you care to look I have a Big Agnes Bunk House 6 and it's amazing.

I would have to agree with the above. I have a big Agnes bunkhouse 6 and started looking at the 8. It’s my wife and two kids, 6 and 8. Don’t get me wrong, we have plenty of space to sleep comfortably but want more space for our bags and other things we keep in the tent. We use an exped mega mat long and wide and two therm-a-rest mats on cots for sleeping and they go edge to edge.

I also have one of these tents (Bunkhouse 6) and love it. The vestibule is enormous, and with the rainfly off, the tent becomes a giant screened in room. With the way the vestibule opens, OP could also get a separate 2 door screen room and scoot it up to the vestibule and be able to go back and forth between the screen room and tent without stepping outside.

I have the Bunkhouse 6. I love it, it is very well made, and it vents extremely well with both the front and back open. The vestibule is insane - I keep my stuff in the vestibule in ALCs and have room for a camping chair on the opposite side. My single complaint is the lack of storage and accessories - poles to support the vestibule awning, footprint, and gear lofts or soft bins should be purchased as well. I bring it solo as a small (5'2") female of pitiful upper body strength, and I don't have issues with carrying it a half mile in and setting it up myself in less than ten minutes. Congratulations on your baby! My daughter had her first camping trip in the bh6 at 3 months. When my husband and I were laying in our full sized Lost Horizon bed with her Uppababy bassinet on the floor next to us, we had a whole twin bed worth of space left in the tent for a chair to feed her in and parked her massive off road stroller in the vestibule with room to spare. It's awesome and I baby the crap out of mine so it will last - no shoes, hard objects, or outside layers ever come in and there's no need with the vestibule.

I have the big agnes bunk house 6. Very similar to the marmot halo 6 with massive vestibules
