"rain fly goes all the way to the ground. ... Had it in a multi day downpour and not a drop inside the tent"

I have an old REI Kingdom 6 tent. I could stand in that as a 6’3 guy with shoes. I’m surprised that REI doesn’t have an equivalent nowadays Edit: Wonderland series. The 6 says a 6’6 peak height.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent for a 6’5” man to stand up in. Suggestions? ->Fwiw, I bought an REI 6p Kingdom tent 2 years ago. First time it was used, was with my 7yo daughter & her 7yo bf overnight in backyard. Not fully staked, like this is base of mountains country. Moderate winds + girls playing caused an interior pole to bend like a straw. Tent cant be pitched without that pole. REI sells no replacement. So ruined. Biggest waste of money ever.
r/camping • Is it worth it as a couple to buy a "bigger" tent for car camping? ->We have an old rei kingdom 6 and it’s freakin glorious. Just the two of us and our dog, so roomy! Easy to change, spread out a little, etc. we have a garage attachment as well and it’s great!
r/camping • Is it worth it as a couple to buy a "bigger" tent for car camping? ->My 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.
r/CampingGear • If weight is no longer a constraint, what would you choose for a freestanding tent? ->Agree. I have Tipi tents and a REI Kingdom 6 - with a huge add on vestibule. More space is better. The main thing is you want a tent you can stand up in. If you get a Tipi tent you need to make sure it has enough ventilation.
r/CampingGear • Family Car Camping Tent Recommendations ->I prefer tents with a full rainfly -- Kelty, some REI, Nemo, Marmot, that Northface Wawona. Many of the cheaper brands have partial rainflys that I don't think cut it as well. My wife and I have the REI Kingdom 6, love it, and have used it for years. I think they call it the wonderland now and it has okay reviews. But its huge and standable and its lasted for tons of fests. Any 6 person tent will be a challenge for 6 people. 4 People would work in a lot of 6p tents but check dimensions. That Nemo Aurora 6 has way smaller dimensions for a 6 person tent than my Kingdom 6. I personally don't think I'd go higher than a 6p tent though, a lot of the bigger ones can be a challenge at some fests and campsites.
r/ElectricForest • Can anyone recommend a good quality waterproof tent for 4/6 people? ->We got the REI kingdom 6 (now the wonderland) for just the two of us. Hubs can stand up we have room for our stuff we love it. Bit crowded now that we added two kids but we head out long before they came.
r/camping • Is it worth it as a couple to buy a "bigger" tent for car camping? ->This is what I got for my 6’3” hubs as well to stand up in. Great tent.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent for a 6’5” man to stand up in. Suggestions? ->We (2 adults) camped for years in a Kingdom 6. It was nice to have the space, you can easily stand and get dressed, keep clean and dirty clothes sorted, room for the dog.
r/camping • Is it worth it as a couple to buy a "bigger" tent for car camping? ->I have an rei kingdom 6 with the front porch for car camping. Fits two queen sized mattresses with a partition in the middle. If I am traveling alone I will usually take a small tent.
r/camping • First couple field tests for the Wawona 6 from The North Face ->Used to backpack and all my gear was oriented for that. Now 62 and can't quit camping, so we have a standup tent and I have a cot and love both items. I recommend spending a bit more for quality as that also adds to the 'older' experience. I went with a 6ppl REI tent and it is fabulous. 2 adults and 2 standard poodles fit in and I can stand up and not step on a dog on the way out. Totally a good investment IMO. Good luck.
