aaron_in_sf 1.0We have the predecessor to REI's Wonderland which is the very similar "Kingdom 6" and it was fantastic for family camping and easy to make into a glamping palace. The "garage" made an extra porch to sit and eat pancakes in during rain and keep gear sheltered. Rooms have a zip able divider. If you can find one in good shape used it'd probably be inexpensive yet glorious.
Winning and amazing for us was: Exped Megamats with sheets and quilts. An EE Accomplice for my wife and I on a Duo; each kid with their own single. We brought blankets like Rumpls as well for extra warmth. Tend wise our old REI Kingdom 6 has been amazing, especially with the "garage" add on. So big, zip up door two make two rooms. The garage gave us a place to cook and eat pancakes in pouring rain. Might get one used! Btw also huge wins: Dew drop led lights inside and out the tent. Solar recharging for the win. Plus solar Luci color changing camp lanterns. Polypropylene Persian carpets as doormats. Kelty camp couches. Eno Nest double hammocks with upgraded straps. So many good times...
Bonnarootossaroo 1.0It's the tent I own. It's a solid tent, I'd gladly pay that for a second backup or for friends.
cloudshaper 1.0I have the REI Kingdom 6 and it fits my Megamat Duo with room for bags and a dog bed. They stopped making the Kingdom tents, but the Wonderland series is similar.
d_squared0330 1.0That's not a bad price. I think I paid $250 for a smoker owned Kingdom 6 with Garage and Vestibule that other than the smell was perfect. A couple washes with enzyme soap and I'm back in business. I don't think it will be as roomy as you would like though. We're 2 adults, 4yo and a small dog and it would be sufficient sleeping space but no extra room.
EpicMediocrity00 1.0My car-camping tent is a Kingdom 6 from REI. [https://www.rei.com/product/147958/rei-co-op-kingdom-6-tent](https://www.rei.com/product/147958/rei-co-op-kingdom-6-tent) I'd love to replace it with a fabric tent one day, but this one for now is great for my wife, dog, and I for just about every car-camping trip we've ever done. I think it's 10ish years old - have used it at least 100 nights.
Fun_Cap_6923 1.0The REI Wonderland 6 is an amazing tent. I have an older version (Kingdom 6) and it’s a beast. The tent is not cheap but it will last. Mine has been ridden hard and put away wet (literally) and is nearly as good as day one. I say nearly because my brother in law set it up the last time out prior to me getting there, and he split a pole. Not the tents fault, user error. Easily fixed though and the beast tent lives on!
graybeardgreenvest 1.0The BC6 is amazing… it is super durable and easy to set up. At 5’4” you might struggle a little at first with set up, especially in the wind, but once you do it a bunch of times… it is easy to do. (poles are all color coordinated and chorded together. I use it beach camping so it stands up to the wind… and has plenty of mesh to be breezy on those hot days. Given the sale… I would recommend. I really miss the kingdome 6 and 8… it had a built in screen porch side that gave you the choice to have a tent and screen porch all in one. A true glamping tent! If you get it, post photos!
gu_doc 1.0REI Kingdom 6 here, very happy
hollus2 1.0We have the earlier version Kingdom 6 and it’s great for room. My hubs can stand up in it 6’3”. It’s seen a fair amount of weather and has done great.
itwillbeprobablyok 1.0We have a kingdom 6 we still use sometimes and love, but we also added a 10 x 14 Kodiak Canvas VX tent and it is a palace for a family of 4 and 2 dogs. It is a big, heavy, bulky kinda situation - but really comfortable in all conditions we’ve used it in (no snow though, as we’re in Southern California and do most of our camping Spring through Fall). Aaaand - just remembered to scroll up and check which sub I am in - so disclaimer that Kodiak isn’t sold at REI.
