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
Huge fan of the big Agnes bunk house. Picked one up last year in 6p for the wife and I and it’s awesome. Buddy has the Nemo aurora 4p and it’s sweet too. The floor is really tough. I like the bunk house better though. Its bomber quality and easy to set up and take down, breathes really well even tho it looks like it wouldn’t b.
With the fly off the entire roof and the about 1/3 the height of the wall are mesh and you can see out. The doors on each end have a fabric cover that can be unzipped and are about 1/3 or more mesh. You can also manipulate that with the fly on and how u set the vestibules to change the air flow thru the tent. But even buttoned all the way down it still breathes really well, no condensation even camping in the rain in winter. I actually don’t understand how but it’s awesome. Build quality is excellent all around. Edit to add if you can find a deal on last years model that is orange don’t be discarded by the color. It’s really nice in person, like a rich burnt southwest deep sunset orange. Pics make it look awful. Bonus is it does a great job filtering sunlight so the tent stays cool and it’s nice if u are sleeping in cuz it is not too bright inside. New color looks dope tho. I was able to pick it up for 450 last fall. With Labor Day sales coming up it might hit your target.
No problem. The mesh is really nice and thick. It looks like you wouldn’t be able to see through it or even like fabric in the pics but is great for star gazing and keeps the no see ums out. The inside space is huge. I’m 6’1 and can walk through the whole tent, almost to the edge of the wall. It’s really comfortable if you want space plus a queen size sleeping area and room to sit and change or play games or whatever.
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
I have a big agnes bunk house i believe is the model 6 person. Solo camper. I really like it for solo. As I sleep on a cot and also have a table that I can use as a work station etc. On rainy days its much better than a smaller tent. Wind is an issue and proper tie downs only help so much. If I had to do it again, id probably go with a 4 person of the same model
Definitely want to get at least a 6 person tent for a family of 4. Get an 8 or even 10 person tent if you want some decent extra room. I just bought the CORE 10-person cabin tent with full rainfly from Amazon last summer (for a family of 4), but it seems like it's out of stock at the moment. I also have a Big Agnes Bunk House 6 which has served my wife and I pretty well over the last few years (just the two of us). I love this YouTube channel. She does a great job of looking at a lot of different tent options at different sizes. [https://www.youtube.com/@CampingGuidance](https://www.youtube.com/@CampingGuidance)
