A full rain cover, a spacious vestibule, and a reinforced pole structure make this the best choice for couples who are committed to getting outside no matter the weather.

OutdoorGearLab

The REI Base Camp 6 is a great choice for those looking to dip their toes into colder, windier, and rainier adventures. With a sturdy 4-pole structure and thick, strong materials, this tent is ready to take on the harsh world of both teenagers and bad weather camping. And thanks to a 27-square-foot front vestibule, you'll have options to cook and store your gear safely out of the elements. You can always count on REI tents to have boatloads of pockets, great headroom, and a clean aesthetic style &mdash; the Base Camp boasts all of that and more. 
Unlike most REI tents, though, the Base Camp 6 sides and doors are not open mesh. This means no nice views while lying down, and you can expect to be fairly toasty on warm days if you're hanging out inside. There are, however, some half zip coverings on the doors to give you a little extra view. All in all, this is a great option for those needing a well-priced weather-ready shelter. Snag this tent for your next stay in the rainy Pacific Northwest or the thunderstorm-prone Rocky Mountains.

Sitting near the top of REI's camping lineup for 2022 is their Base Camp 6, which takes cues from mountaineering designs for a sizable boost in weather-worthiness. The dome shape and overlapping five-pole system mean the walls aren’t as vertical as the Wawona's above, but it’s still very easy to move around inside, and the reward is far better resistance against strong gusts (it’s rated for 3+ season use, meaning the tent can hold its own). And the rest of the design is equally up to snuff with an excellent mix of quality materials and design features, including two roof vents, functional organization, and even reflective detailing to help you see the tent in the dark.

It’s worth noting that the Base Camp recently went up in price by a considerable $80 (from $469 to $549 for the 6P capacity), making it the second-priciest option in REI’s camping tent collection (right behind the $599 Wonderland 6 below). It’s far and away the most weather-ready option of the bunch, but it uses less mesh than both the Wonderland and Skyward below, which has a notable impact on ventilation. Additionally, despite a similarly sized floor area, the Base Camp feels noticeably less roomy due to the lack of vertical walls. In the end, we’d break it down as follows: The new Skyward (which replaces the popular Grand Hut) is the value leader and plenty of tent for most family campers, the Base Camp is best for those that plan to take their tent into relatively rough and rowdy weather, and the Wonderland is the most luxurious, fully featured option for those looking for the ultimate home-in-the-woods experience... Read in-depth reviewSee the REI Co-op Base Camp 6

 So there's clips right here, there's four of them, and then there's also these little clips here to make it extra sturdy. Also, all of these poles that help set the tent up and the rain fly clips have a color coating system so that it's really easy to set up. We always start with blue, and then there's black, and then silver. We can have this tent set up in less than five minutes

 And it also comes with these guy lines just in case you can't drive that stake in the ground and you need to extend it a little bit more to get a good spot. Now let's check out the inside of the tent. First of all, the fact that I can almost stand up in this tent is a huge bonus because getting dressed in a tent where you have to lay down or sit down is really hard. Also, you've already seen the two massive doors and check this out

 In case you're new here, we are MK and TJ and we are tent camping in all 50 states. We have camped so far in heat, cold, snow, rain, you name it, which is why we are super excited to show you this tent because we camped nine states in the old one and this one it's just super great. But before we move on, if you're into camping, travel, or tent life, go ahead and hit subscribe so you don't miss anything. Alright, let's get started by talking about the tent specs

 They open up to screen doors, which is really great for the ventilation system. In addition to this, one of my favorite parts is that there's a ton of storage here, here, here, here, here, here, even up top, like right here and here and here and up here. Another thing that REI nailed is the ventilation on this tent, just like MK said, there's screens in the doors and in case you get warm at night, there's little screens right next to where you lay and there's screens on top. All of these things were strategically designed by REI to maximize airflow to keep you cold during the hot or warm during the cold

The REI Co-Op Basecamp 4 four-person tent has definitely stood the test of four-season camping. It is our favorite tent so far and in this video we will tell you why :)

Wondering which tent should you buy? REI makes a great tent. We especially enjoy the Basecamp series with the Basecamp 4 and Basecamp 6 at the top of that list. 

Oh and, we were NOT SPONSORED by REI to make this video, we just love our REI Basecamp 4 tent and have definitely put it do the ultimate test! We hope you enjoy our tent review :)

REI Co-Op Basecamp 4 TENT REVIEW - YouTube

 Let's get the tent out and get it set up. All right, so we got the tent laid out here. As you can tell, it's a real big tent. It's a 110 by 110, which is almost the exact same floor size as the Kingdom 6, which is 120 by 100, I believe, so literally almost the exact same size

 Still leave the rain fly on itself but you're going to get maximum ventilation this way while still having the rain fly on you still have your little porch so if you're in a really light rain, really light, you're going to be able to leave everything tucked back like this so that's another really cool feature that I wasn't expecting. Just another cool little perk of the tent. Well guys I appreciate you watching. This is the REI Basecamp 6

 So the tent that we got is the REI Base Camp 6. This is a very similar tent to the REI Kingdom 6 with, I mean, several differences, but it's still a big family camping tent, six person tent, works really well for our family of four. It is not lightweight, it's not small, but I think this is going to work well for us. I hope it does at least, so let's get it out of the bag and set it up and check out what this thing's all about

 We will have a more comprehensive review of this tent after we use it a couple times definitely in some sort of weather to be able to give you a more honest review of the tent itself. But so far just setting it up, seeing the features. We really like it. It's really cool and we're really happy with it

This is not a full on review of the REI Base Camp 6 tent. This is the first time we set the tent up. This video is to show how to set the tent up and talk about a few of the features of the tent. It seems to be pretty sturdy and well made. I do wonder about the ventilation and the rainproofness of the tent after our experience with our newer version of the REI Kingdom 6. When we do a full review of this tent, I will post a link to that video below.

This is a link to the REI Kingdom 6 tent review we did several months back:

2020 REI Base Camp 6 Tent - A Setup Guide and Initial Tour ...

 Sure, it would be tight, but you could do it if you wanted to. So I say the six person rating of this tent is actually pretty fair. And if you want to have a more luxurious camping experience, you could also fit in here a queen size air mattress at the same time as the Exped Duo sleeping pad, because I tried that out and it worked also. It's also worth comparing this tent to some other six person rated tents because they are of various sizes

 It's basically a one-ended stuff sack. And so you've got to get it rolled up and then maybe lift it and then have somebody else hold the bag and put it inside, which you can't really do if you're trying to do it by yourself. You kind of have to slide it in there and then lift it up, which is basically what I did when I was packing this away. And I find it just a lot less convenient than a side opening stuff sack like they have with the North Face Wawona or the Eureka Copper Canyon LX6

 And if you want to have a more luxurious camping experience, you could also fit in here a queen size air mattress at the same time as the Exped Duo sleeping pad, because I tried that out and it worked also. It's also worth comparing this tent to some other six person rated tents because they are of various sizes. I did find that the poles were a little bit tricky to get out of the sleeve because they were just coming apart inside of the sleeve. I had a little bit of difficulty getting that out, but it wasn't too bad

 Now, this might sound a little bit strange because it is a six person rated tent. However, it's important to know that this person capacity rating is not industry standard, which means that the manufacturer can actually label it however they like, which is what makes it so important to look at the actual dimensions of the tent or to watch a video like this one where we can actually put it to test. So let's see if this six person tent could actually fit six people. As you can see here, I could actually fit six sleeping pads inside of this tent

I tested the REI Base Camp 6 and rated it on 10 quality categories to give the tent an overall score out of 100 points. Check it out!

REI Base Camp 6 Review (Graded on 10 Categories) - YouTube

 Even with the partial mesh doors open, rainfly vents propped up, and floor vents unzipped, the Base Camp 6 simply can’t compete with a mesh-heavy design. It certainly does the trick in moderate temperatures, but the solid fabric side walls and full-coverage rainfly limit air circulation. The pricier Marmot Limestone beats the Base Camp fairly easily in this respect. The Marmot has a healthy dose of mesh on the front door, sides, and roof—all of which help to keep air moving on muggy nights

 Editor’s note: We usually provide a live price comparison table below our outdoor gear reviews, but the Base Camp 6 is sold exclusively by REI. You can see the Base Camp 6 page here and support us in the process. Thanks!

 Secondly, you get two large doors and vestibules with the REI (the Cabela’s comes with just one). And finally, the Base Camp has far better interior storage with its 14 well-distributed pockets. Unless you need 4-season-worthy weather protection, the Base Camp is the more well-rounded design. Lastly, Big Agnes’ Big House 6 is another impressively livable tent at a good price

r/Ultralight

 I ended up getting a Big Agnes Fly Creek 2, and it’s not perfect but it works well in those humid conditions—but the trade-off is that it’s heavier than a UL single wall tent. Others might have different and better experiences with single wall tents but I just really couldn’t stand the condensation.

For those of you who had to make this call - which did you go with ultimately, and what was your rationale?

<div class="md">For those of you who had to make this call - which did you go with ultimately, and what was your rationale?
</div>

To go single wall, or double wall for a shelter. That’s the question.

- I want to be able to sit up and be comfortable in the tent. The Tarptent Rainbow seems to fill my wants, but adds 2 oz to my packed weight as I can't afford the DCF version.

. I dig that tent feature - both of my tents have similar capabilities - Hilleberg Anjan can do the same, and my solo is Tarptent Rainbow which has a porch mode that you can use when it is raining as long as it is not too windy - in which case you can have the view and cook despite wet weather! Heck, stick a chair under the porch.

Land management will typically recognize that and recommended campsites will be close to water just because there is no other way ...

I would look into the Tarptent Double Rainbow and the TarptTent StratoSpire, The Two by Gossamer Gear and the Z-Packs Duplex and the Dan Durston X-Mid 2person. These will all lighten your load. You should google the difference between the Silpoly and Silnylon tent material and read up on DCF/CubenFiber/Dyneema and see which tent material is best for you. The Copper Spur has been known to sag a bit because of the material it is made of

My partner and I are experienced backpackers with a few thousand collective miles underfoot.

We are not ultralight hikers. Typical pack weight for 3-5 nights in fair weather is 35-40 lbs. We are looking for a tent that will last at least 300 nights, and can withstand some sharp terrain.

We are not especially price-sensitive, but would prefer a tent that will last until we hit the $1/night mark. We are replacing a Half Dome 2 from 2012 that has achieved &lt;$0.30/night, but don't expect that level of value again.

The tents:

* [Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2](https://www.rei.com/product/164193/big-agnes-copper-spur-hv-ul2-tent). I'm concerned that ultralight materials can't be trusted not to rip, and don't maintain waterproofness over years of extended use. Otherwise, I like the layout and weight.

* [REI Half Dome SL 2+](https://www.rei.com/product/185632/rei-co-op-half-dome-sl-2-tent-with-footprint) I absolutely adore my 2012 HD2, and this looks like a straight upgrade. It's nice and roomy, near-indestructible, and incredibly easy to set up. I am leaning towards this tent, but it's a little on the heavy side and quite large even when fully packed.. I would like a smaller, lighter pack if there aren't other significant trade-offs.

* [NEMO Dragonfly 2](https://www.rei.com/product/144621/nemo-dragonfly-2-tent) This was OutdoorGearLab's editor's choice. It's lighter and smaller than the HD SL2+, which is desirable. I am not familiar with the NEMO brand.

Thoughts? Anyone have these tents and feel like chiming in?

Deciding between three tents: Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2, REI Half Dome SL2+, Nemo Dragonfly 2.

 The few tents that weigh less than the Double Rainbow—like the Nemo Hornet, REI Flash Air, and Big Agnes Tiger Wall and Fly Creek—are made with significantly less durable fabrics. That said, it’s worth noting that the Double Rainbow does not come seam-sealed (you can have Tarptent do the service for $35 or purchase a kit to do it yourself for $8), so total weight will go up a little as a result. In terms of packed size, the Double Rainbow is a standout. The thin materials, hybrid single-wall build, and simplistic pole design keep things extremely compact

Tents with hubbed poles or a freestanding design like the Big Agnes Copper Spur take up noticeably more space in your pack. To make it even easier to compress, you can remove the upper strut and store it separately
