"Love our 12 man core tent. We’ve had it since 2019 and it’s gone on a bunch of trips with kids and dogs."
"I have used it almost every day in all weather, on the bus, with one or two kids, for the past 2.5 years and it's still in great shape."
"I've been using it for about five years, take it out 2-3 trips a year, up to four or five nights each time. It hasn't failed me in any sense."

"i have a core 6. too small for a fam of 4 ... a 6 person is too small for two adults and 2 kids. i'd go for a 9 or 10 person. ... the size rating is based on people in sleeping bag sleeping right next to each other like sardines in a can. I have a core 6. Definately too small. ... 2 adult size cot and a single baby crib. only enough space for 1 person walking in and out. that's with belongings under the cot."
"isn big enough for my family of five and I was sick of cooking in batches like a short order cook."
"I ve had the 6 person just for my 2 large dogs and myself. Definitely go with the 10 person."

"Inclement weather or pre bed time can wear on you in a cramped tent!"
I have a Core 6 person tent! We camp frequently when it rains and it has withstood several times of actual storms! It gives us enough room for an air mattress and a side table with room for gear at the botton of our feet. Granted we have put our tarps up when we know the whole camping trip is gonna rain. I highly recommend as set up is about 90 seconds once you get it down! Shes been excellent for years now!
r/camping • I need a tent that can handle some rain. ->i have a core 6. too small for a fam of 4 https://preview.redd.it/20cihxunowkf1.png?width=1951&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0b8cab1620d800f28722a212046896594ac2cc5
r/camping • I've narrowed down my tent search, let me hear your pros & cons on these please! ->a 6 person is too small for two adults and 2 kids. i'd go for a 9 or 10 person. the size rating is based on people in sleeping bag sleeping right next to each other like sardines in a can. I have a core 6. Definately too small. 2 adult size cot and a single baby crib. only enough space for 1 person walking in and out. that's with belongings under the cot.
r/camping • I've narrowed down my tent search, let me hear your pros & cons on these please! ->I had the Core 6 person for several years. It's a great starter tent for my two little kids and I, but for four people, especially two that are still growing, go for the 10 person. I guess you can get all four into the six person, but there won't be room for much else and you'll be tripping over each other if someone needs to go pee in the middle of the night or whatever. If the 10 person has a room divider, that's especially nice since they can have their own little area.
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->I recently got a CORE 6 person tent and it’s perfect. I’m 5’7 and have a bout 6-8 extra in of clearance when standing up.
r/camping • Recommendation for Instant Cabin style tent, 2025 ->Look at Core Cabin tents. I think Costco sells them. Easy to set up for first timers and you can stand in them. Get a 6 or 8 person. Keep in mind that the number is the number of average sized sleeping bags it will hold crammed next to each other.
r/camping • Planning my first camping trip ->I use a 6 person for just me and my dog
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->My suggestion would be not to get anything expensive until you know camping is something you both enjoy doing together along with the dog. For yourself your partner and your pup I would get a 4 person tent, if you don't have to backpack it anywhere maybe even a 6 person tent. When I go with my wife and dog I bring my Core 6 person tent which came from Costco and was pretty inexpensive. Nothing fancy just easy to set up, keeps the outside outside, and has a tough floor for dog nails. Also, it is a good all rounder to have for just occasional camping. Once you decide this is something you want to make a habit of then I would start looking for a tent that fits your specific needs.
r/CampingGear • Best tent and any advice for first time camping trip? ->I use a 6 person for just me and my queen sized air mattress :)
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->We've had good luck with the CORE 6 person tent. I can put it up by myself in less than 5 minutes.
