Camping tents can cost anywhere from $200 to upwards of $1,000 or even more depending on their size and level of quality. While nearly every tent comes with a rainfly, most only cover the very top portion of the shelter and don’t do much to keep wind and moisture from penetrating through windows or porch screens. If you want 100 percent coverage, get a tent with a rainfly that reaches completely to the ground, all the way around the tent.
This green slopes away from left to right with multiple bunkers short of the green. Are you taking a camping trip and are looking for a campground with pull-through sites and electrical hookups? Or maybe a remote campground close to waterfalls and trails perfect for bird-watching? Then check out this hub of the best places to camp in Missouri.
But when it came time to put on the rainfly, it took some searching to figure out where the pole slid into the underside of the rainfly. But once it was set up, the trouble was worth it, as this is the best awning I’ve ever seen on a two-person tent—better than a lot of four-person tents. There was an unusually serious thunderstorm the night I tented this test. While the strongest winds during testing buffeted the sides of this tent, it bounced back quickly without damaging the fiberglass poles. At one point the rainfly came unattached at a corner, but after a member of the testing group re-secured it with the provided velcro tabs (which I forgot to do during the initial setup), it wasn’t a problem. And the rainfly turned out to be plenty of protection against overnight rain once the windows were zippered up.
The front and hip straps make it very comfortable and takes alot of the pressure of your shoulders and back. It may be intimidating from the tee box, but the large green provides plenty of landing space with additional room right of the green for a safe miss. Avoid the left side to stay out of the heavy rough, deep bunker, and the lake. Split the bunkers on your tee shot at the 11th, but favoring the right side will give you the best look at the green. Keep your approach shot safe by aiming on the right side of the green to avoid the deep bunker on the left.
Given the massive size of the NEMO Wagontop 8, 125 square feet and over 6.5-feet tall, I was surprised that I was able to set this one up by myself. The interior of was similarly impressive, wide enough to accommodate 3 Queen-size air mattresses, and my family of three was swimming in it ozark trail chair (no complaints here). If you are looking for a true 8-person tent, this one is getting awfully close—my estimate is that you could comfortably fit seven adults on single pads in this one. Its combination of interior space and head height is what makes it a no-brainer for families of six.
