"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."
"I ve had the 6 person just for my 2 large dogs and myself. Definitely go with the 10 person."
"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 ... you'll be tripping over each other if someone needs to go pee in the middle of the night or whatever."

We have Core Equipment 6 person straight wall cabin tent.Easy set up and spacious
r/camping • Looking for a solid 6-person tent — any recommendations? ->I've had two seasons with the Core-4 Straight Wall Cabin tent and it's held up well on the PNW coast \[rain/wind\]. It is not as ruggedly built as my Timberline-2 by Eureka, but for $129 it's a good deal. I'd definitely recommend you get the Core-6 model. It's on sale for $159, but you'll also need a tarp-groundsheet. I also use a cheap \[$35\] tent fly so I can erect a lounging-cooking space out of the rain. \*These Core tents allow standing room. I still use my Timberlane in harsh weather, but it's damn nice to be able to stand inside the tent.

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! ->We have 2 core tents. Love them. Especially now that they offer full rain fly and footprints. And the dimensions of the 6 man tent really make it stand out - the rectangle shape (as opposed to square like Coleman’s) is fantastic.
r/CampingGear • Tent Recommendation ->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 use a 6 person for just me and my dog
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->I use a 6 person for just me and my queen sized air mattress :)
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->I’ve had the 6 person just for my 2 large dogs and myself. Definitely go with the 10 person.
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->If you are just sleeping in it, you can fit in the six. But, if you ever use it to hang during off sleeping hours, get the ten. Inclement weather or pre bed time can wear on you in a cramped tent!
r/camping • 6 or 10 person tent for family ->Exactly. A 6 man is perfect for a couple.
