Large Dome Tents

![]() |
| A typical large dome tent, tall enough to stand up in but not so big it takes forever to setup |
The "large dome tent" is probably the workhorse of the general camping world today. And the reason for this is obvious. A good quality dome tent works superbly for long camping stays in one spot, but yet take down and setup quite easily, making it simple to move from place to place on a daily basis (unlike a family camping tent, which takes more time and effort to setup).
Dome tents come in many shapes and sizes, but for general car camping uses, you want to get a large dome tent, especially if you camp with other people (not alone). Larger dome tents allow space to stretch out AND are tall enough to fully stand up in. While not as roomy as a family camping tent (few dome tents have "multiple rooms"), I think the versatility of these tents make up for this.
If you plan on getting a large dome tent for your camping needs, be sure to get one that allows you to fully stand up in AND is wide enough to allow you to stretch out your sleeping pad and/or cot. You want the extra height so that it is more comfortable, especially on rainy days.
Shown below are various large dome tents (in various sizes) that work well for general car camping as well as for long term camping in a particular spot. Note, not all of these tents are meant for 4 season use. All these dome tents are available through Cabela's.
