Whether you’re looking to hit the road or stay close to home on your next camping adventure, you and your loved ones will need a comfortable place to sleep. After researching more than 65 tents, speaking with tent designers and manufacturers, and sleeping in a total of 27 tents across seven-weekend campsites, we have concluded that the Mountain Hardwear Mineral King Tent 3 is the best car tent. Available now for two, the Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6-Person Tent is the best option for most families.
1: Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3 Tent
The Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3 Tent is the best tent option for couples. It has everything you need for a three-season camping trip, plus it’s light enough to double as an occasional backpacking tent. While it was designed to sleep three people, hence the “3” in its name, we found that at 42.5 square feet, the tent is most comfortable for two people, plus perhaps a dog or lots of gear. Intuitive to setup, the Mineral King 3 has a full mesh body that accommodates a variety of hub posts. An adaptable fly provides protection during rain; You can roll it up and secure it into a half dome or remove it completely in good weather for epic nights of stargazing. Two vestibules—that’s the camp word for mudroom—each add an additional 18.75 square feet of space, which comes in handy when you want to store your muddy boots or make coffee in the comfort of your tent in the rain . It also comes with a custom-made anti-abrasion floor to protect the tent from wear and tear.
2: Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6 Person Tent
The Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6 Person Tent offers the best combination of a spacious interior, ease of setup, good durability, and reasonable price. With a maximum height of 7 feet and a cubic shape, the cabin-style Copper Canyon LX 6 was one of the roomiest tents we tested, with extra space to help you stay organized and sleep more comfortably. It’s big and boxy, but as long as you only plan to haul your tent a few feet, you don’t need something ultralight and high-tech. While the Copper Canyon LX 6 is not designed for storms, it is still strong and durable enough to handle most storms and storms. With a time-tested design, this popular tent is one you’ll want to pitch for years to come. (In theory, it should hold six people, but in our experience, a six-person tent is the ideal size for two adults plus two to three children and gear.)
3: Marmot Tungsten 4-Person Tent
For campers looking for a little more space, the Marmot Tungsten 4-Person Tent is another good two-person option. While less aerodynamic than the Mineral King 3, and lacking that model’s adaptive fly, making it easier to access and protect against the elements, the redesigned for 2022 Marmot Tungsten 4 offers nearly the same protection against the elements. A waterproof shell complete with easy-to-attach color-coded clips secures a half-mesh, half-polyester body and adds two large vestibules. With pentagonal doors and a cantilevered dome supported by two front struts, rather than just one, the window offers excellent protection from wind and rain in multiple directions, as long as you follow the installation instructions to the letter. (The Tungsten 4 has pre-bent poles, just like the Mineral King 3. But those poles are bent at a steeper angle and closer to the ground, which we’ve found can cause the tent to collapse in windy conditions. yes ( you can (do not hook the poles into the fly with the velcro tabs that go under the seams). You can also pitch the tent without the fly for stargazing at night while retaining some privacy since the body of the tent The tent has a high polyester wall on one side Like the Mineral King 3, this tent features its own anti-abrasion grip.
4: Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent
The best-selling Coleman Sundome 6-Person Tent is similar in size to our favorite family tent, but feels significantly smaller because it’s a dome style rather than a cab design. However, it still seats four and is a spacious option for two. This convenient one-door gazebo is easy to put up, has plenty of windows, includes a partial waterproof canopy that’s easy to set up and keep an eye on, and is cheerful inside and out. We do not recommend the smaller version of this tent for couples taking it on the road; it was too flimsy in our tests. Please note that Also that this tent does not come with its own base.
5: REI Co-op Base Camp 4 Tent
Campers looking to brave the elements will appreciate the extra strength and protection of the REI Co-op Base Camp 4 tent. Our other dome tents are constructed with two main poles with additional support from smaller poles. Base Camp, on the other hand, has four full-size aluminum struts woven lengthwise like a basket. Base Camp also offers superior privacy compared to our other options, with or without a rain cover. Our other favorite features are the two large tent doors, which you can open halfway in either direction or fully (you can tuck the doors into the “roof pockets” to keep them out of the way), turning the tent into a useful canopy. beach. or umbrella.
Families who frequently pitch their tents in rainy locations need a wind-resistant tent with a good-sized vestibule for storing wet shoes and gear, as well as a full-length waterproof curtain for added protection from the elements. With nearly 45 feet of vestibule space and six cross poles that increase stability, REI’s next base camp size, the Base Camp 6 tent, offers the best combination of space and features among the six compliant tents we tested. these criteria. . One footprint for each model is sold separately.
