Marmot - Limestone 6P Tent

We just got a Limestone 6P and on our first outing it managed the heavy downpour of a Florida thunderstorm with no water inside. We hope it will continue to do well with water resistance since we find it to be a nice tent in many ways.

Not sure why you rate the Limestone 6 lowly on rain protection. Ours has been through a decade of rain, storms, and even some hail and we've never had so much as a drop inside. Bomber tent. Halo 6 is the only thing we'd consider replacing it with.

Love my Marmot. I’ve had it 3 years and camped with it quite a bit. It’s been through many wind and rain storms. It’s comfortable, easy set up and take down, and has held up well. [Marmot tent](https://www.marmot.com/p/limestone-6-person-tent/SP_2145926.html)

I’ve got a marmot limestone 6 and it’s great for me and the girlfriend! We use a queen air mattress in the middle and we can stand fully on either side of it. Lots of room for activities. The tent poles are super sturdy and it has a nice couple of vestibules. Highly recommend.

I have a marmot limestone 6p and it’s served us well. Can’t say how it compares to others but I’m happy with it.

Definitely this. Our family of 5 used this for so many years. FYI the bunk bed cots they used at the WV scout jamboree that weigh a ton fit nicely in this. Really durable tent in heavy weather as well, rock solid. Oh, more importantly it met the wifes requirement of being able to stand up without bending over.

I like full coverage rain flys and good vestibules. Marmot Limestone has been my recent purchase and I’m quite happy with it. Great headroom. Before that, I used (and still have) my older 4 season REI Basecamp 6.p — great for storms, not much for headroom though.

I have a 20+ year old REI Base Camp 6 that only last year started to show signs of leaking at the corners. Full coverage rainfly, two enclosed vestibules. My Marmot Limestone 6 also doesn’t leak.

Car camping: I'd go with something that'll have enough room for you, another person, and your gear. I went with the Marmot Limestone 6p, found one used on FB Marketplace for $75. Used market is clutch for stuff like this. Buy something with good reviews, I personally like DAC poles as they're aluminum and if the weather gets rowdy, I don't need to worry about my poles breaking. If you're planning on backpacking, it starts to get more complicated with what you want as you're going to be carrying the tent on your back instead of in a car.

We have the Wawona 6 and love it- only downside is if you really open it up for airflow you do have to get outside to close it up if it starts raining. This has been inconvenient about once. On the privacy front, if the air is still you do need to open up the rear window/ door/ whatever you want to call it to get air moving well, which means it's generally helpful to pitch the tent so that side points towards privacy. We do a lot of walk in campsites so this hasn't been a huge deal. Having camped in both the Limestone and the Wawona 6 in rain with a kiddo, the much larger vestibule of the Wawona makes dealing with wet gear and muddy shoes vastly more civilized- we can keep a few chairs and a ton of hooks in the Wawona and have plenty of space for people and gear and taking gear on and off and etc.
