Wenzel Dome Tent (5 Person)

I did several months of research and comping through reviews before I purchased a tent. After a lot of narrowing down, I decided to go with this one. I have three kids in scouts and needed a tent that will be heavily used. Set up is extremely easy. After guided practice in the yard only once, my kids ages 8-13 were able to set this up by their selves in under 5 minutes. This tent has so far been on 4 camping trips, including pouring rain. It is durable and does not leek at all. For anyone who doesn't know. Every tent out their has reviews complaining about size. These reviews are written by amateurs that don't know the basics of camping. Anyone with camping experience knows that you always buy a tent that is sized at least one man bigger than the number of people you plan to put in it. The man count on tents is figured by 5'0" people and no equipment.

Contrary to some of the reviews here, the tent can definitely actually fit 5 people. We had 5 college students sleeping in it with some gear and it was cozy but worked well. The tent was easy to put up and for back into the bag without any trouble. Just know there is a lot of netting for walls in the tent (under the rain fly) so it lets the cold in a lot. Overall, very happy with the tent.

This seems to be a good little tent. I took it camping over the weekend and was pleased with it. I'll try to keep this short and sweet... The good: For the price, it has plenty of room for a couple of average-size people. I had a Coleman double-high queen air mattress inside of it, a mid-sized cooler, and a couple of bags with room to spare. I forgot my suitcase, but it would easily have gone at the foot of the bed. It kept me dry in the rain, with the rainfly, of course. It allows for plenty of fresh air, especially without the rain fly. Three of the four sides are netted, so it wound be amazing for looking up at the stars, from bed, if you knew there was no rain in the forecast. Has a small net for storing things, which is nice to have beside the bed for cell phone, etc. Feels well-made. Easy to set up. Very fast with two sets of hands, but not a problem with one. Has a place to run an extension cord inside the tent. The bad: This tent has netting small enough to keep out most crawlies, but not all. I woke up with a deer tick bitten into my neck! I will be spraying that netting from the inside out with bug killer the next time, and I recommend everyone else do the same. Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease are nothing to play around with. Zipper catches on rain flap sometimes. Use both hands. I can't see it standing up to much wind, especially if a little strong. I'll update later, but I love this tent far!

great tent for the money fits two people on an air mattress and a toddler on a cot with room to spare not for another person but enough room for cooler and bags ect second night in it we had a thunder storm/monsoon hit us and we stayed dry, my 2 year old didn't even wake up:-) all in all you cant go wrong with this 3 person tent unless you try to fit 5 people in it 4 people max

2 adults and 2 kids sleeps comfortably. Easy to set up. Pole that supports the rain fly in front of the tent already broke after 2nd use. Where can I buy a replacemet ? Not tested for rain yet, but seems to stay dry after a misty morning. Would probably buy a different brand after knowing that the pole / support sticks may easily break.

This tent was the perfect size for me, my husband and our small dog on our three-day camping trip; however, I don't see how the tent is supposed to accommodate five people comfortably. We didn't have a lot of extra space with our two 10" inflatable airbeds & a small dog bed in the tent. There was some space at the foot of our beds to store our important--couldn't get wet--gear and a small area between our beds so we could walk without stepping on each other (or our dog). Loved the mesh pocket & pouch on inside of tent to hold our cellphones, car keys, glasses, and other small items close at hand. It rained two out of three nights and we had no problems with the tent keeping us dry. And we loved having the large mesh "window" in the back.

This seemed like a good tent but the pole that goes above the door broke the first time using it. The rain Fly only came with three of the four guy lines, Therefore the corner could not be secured and the mesh kept getting exposed. The material feels paper like and there is not good ventilation. However, it is not all sorrows, after three days of the rain there is no leakage and it is easy to set up. Plenty of room for three people in bags or cots but that is it, it will get cramped with more than three. This is good for a quick cheap tent.

Not a bad tent, worked well for me and one other person with all our stuff. I could see fitting one or two other people in there. The ceiling height was a little lower then I’ve had in other tents but not bad. I can’t speak to waterproof as it didn’t rain while using it.

Es muy buena marca solo que cuando la quise usar me faltaba una varilla y pasó el tiempo para regresarla no se confíen en cuanto llegue inmediatamente revisen
