I have a Kelty Acadia that has been on dozens of trips over the past 10 years. I love it. It’s certainly not puppy proof. I usually put a picnic blanket down if I use a cot. The floor has held up well.

I love my Kelty. It has two vestibules which makes getting out in the middle of the night easy to do without disturbing anyone else in the tent.

It’s been going strong for over a decade. Sometimes I take a smaller Eureka or a Coleman, but the Kelty is my favorite.

I got a 6 person tent for my birthday last year (Kelty brand- highly recommend) and I used it several times for myself and my dog! It was so nice to have enough space for my duffle and stuff to not be right next to my head while sleeping! Plus, I was able to dedicate a "dirty" corner for my dog to wipe her paws and stuff before climbing into bed. 😅 It was kind a challenge to put up myself, but I just worked patiently and took my time. It wasn't bad! And ya know, you might have good neighbors that lend a hand and you can repay them with borrowing them a can opener or something else they forgot! And you ALWAYS learn SOMETHING from each camping trip. I make a page in my camping journal specifically for writing down things I forgot or things that didn't go well. Helps me plan for next time. Best of luck to you! 🌲🐿🏕

I bought a Walmart tent a few years back and camped with my girlfriend. Downpour happened. She ran in tent, I cleaned up and came into the tent soaked. It was leaking because it was shit material. And she farted right before I came in so my only safe space from the rain smelled like fart. Rough go.  Bought a Kelty tent after and haven’t looked back haha

I have two Kelty tents that have been great. I used many times and have held up great. Moderately priced for the causal camper. Too heavy for backpacking but great for campgrounds.

I've had my Kelty for about 12 years now and it has never failed to perform to my highest expectations. I highly recommend them.
