"I love a tent that we can stand in. ... We are 5'5" and 5'4"."
"We have the same tent, same size family and we called our "The Condo" as well. Each boy had their own area and mom and dad had the middle with a queen size air mattress. The big old 100 lb lab even had plenty of room."
"Can stand straight up right next to the walls, very little incline, and stretch out near the center. ... Personally love it as a tall guy that isn't a fan of crouching over or being on my knees all night long."

"too heavy for backpacking"
"it's not designed to be deflated and carried around in a pack ... deflation is a hassle ... complete deflation isn't even possible ... packed volume is substantial ... It also won't stay rolled without something restraining it. ... foam will only compress so much, hence the substantial packed volume."
"But it's huge. ... If you're hiking more than 10-20 yards I'd get something else."

"I wouldn’t to dismantle and set it up again more than once or twice a day; it’s a little fiddly."
"The CP2 is a bit of a drag to put up after a hard day's hike"
"Pushing rods through sleeves can try my patience."
You can find a used REI kingdom for that cost. We really love ours
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->If a ten person tent is your jam go for it. I have a six person tent I use for the campgrounds. I will only put it up if I am staying at least three days. I use my REI four person for anything less than that. We don’t spend much time in the tent. It’s just for sleeping.
r/camping • is it normal to bring a 12 or 10 person tent for a couple? ->No but Coleman is typically low to mid grade, I'd recommend higher quality brands like Big Agnes, REI, Marmot, etc. which you can probably find for a price pretty close to that (especially if there's a sale). I mostly hammock camp these days, but I also have a fair amount of tent experience in an REI Kingdom (big, decent for car camping) and a Big Agnes Seedhouse (small, light, great 2 person tent).
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->My car camping tent is an REI Kingdom 4. I love it. There is plenty of space. You can stand up in it. There are doors at both ends that allow for great airflow. I have a queen size camp cot that fits great in it so I'm sure two small cots and a dog bed would be no trouble.
r/camping • Tent recommendations for a couple of senior gentleman? ->Me too, I have the half dome plus for trips where packing volume matters but weight is not an issue and also because it is more roomy and made of more robust fabrics. I do a fair amount of trips that start with a flight so a lighter tent that takes up less room is a must. Copper Spur is perfect though I have also used a 20+ pound REI Kingdome when space was less of an issue.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! ->Any reason why you want it connected? I’ve had an REI Kingdom for years and love it. You could connect its “garage” via tarp
r/HondaOdyssey • Best Camping tent accessory ->REI Wonderland is hard to beat. I had the predecessor, the Kingdom and absolutely loved it. The full mesh ceiling and walls let it breathe incredibly well, and the (almost) full length rain fly let it hold up incredibly in bad weather. And since it's a tunnel and not a dome, it's peak height runs the whole length.
r/camping • Car camping tent recommendations ->The Wonderland (currently) only comes in a 4, and 6 person version. But the "titanium" version (no, the poles aren't titanium) is [currently on clearance. ](https://www.rei.com/product/227867/rei-co-op-wonderland-6-titanium-tent) If you're okay with a 6 person, my personal favorite is the [Nemo Aurora Highrise](https://www.rei.com/product/241349/nemo-aurora-highrise-6-person-tent). The Kingdom was one of the best things REI ever made for the cost. Glad it served you well.
r/REI • Tent Shopping ->We have the kingdom with the garage. Perfect for four. Garage is great place to store things and make a rainproof hang out area. Good pockets. Easy to put up and down for a big tent. We have had some other rei tents destroyed in windstorms but in spite of its size - it has held firm. Even repels buffalo:)
r/camping • 4 person family, 8 person tent recommendations? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
