4 Person Tents Reviews and Bargains

Here are reviews and features of the top rated 4 person tents on the market today. Before buying a four man tent, you need to take into consideration a few points.

What weather conditions will you be camping in? If you are planning to hike and camp during the spring, summer, and early fall months, then you'll be okay buying one of the lightweight 3 season tents. If you'll be camping in the extreme cold and snowy winter conditions, then you really should go with a heavier-weight 4 season tent.

With all that said, here are the best 4 person tents available today. The prices are those that I encountered in my research. You may find them lower or higher in your area.

Jeep 7x7 4-Person Sport Dome Tent - The 7 foot by 7 foot floor area will give your party over 47 square feet of floor space - for sleeping and storage. With its 54 inches of vertical space and four-corner ventilation system, you should have nice air circulation. It features a nice size gear loft for storage, two windows, and an easy set up with a clip and go style frame. This 3 season tent is relatively light (11 pounds) for tents of this size. Reviewers found the set up to be fast and easy. It proved to be waterproof against rain showers. But some reviewers found it might not sleep 4 grown adults without being cramped - especially if you have gear to store too.

Price - $80

Wenzel Ponderosa - This lightweight (11 pounds) 4 person tent is very roomy - 10 feet by 8 feet and 60 inches of head room. With the removable divider, you can make 2 rooms out of it - or get some privacy. The fiberglass frame and pin and ring connectors make set-up and take-down relatively simple. The seams are protected with armor-tough to help keep the rain and wetness out. It is ready for Spring, Summer and Fall - 3 seasons, and features 3 windows and 2 doors. Reviewers say that it has room for two twin airbeds and space left over. It will fit four adults just fine if they are in sleeping bags. Many reviewers were less than impressed with the included stakes - they had to purchase better quality ones.

Price - $60

Kelty Grand Mesa - This 4 man tent is built for 3 seasons. It's a dome-style with over 53 square feet of floor space and 4 feet 7 inches of head room. You can store plenty of gear in the 18.8 square foot storage vestibule. The 3 large, mesh windows provide plenty of ventilation on hot summer nights. The color coded aluminum poles allow for quick and easy set-up and the bathtub style floor will help keep moisture out and dryness in. It weighs only 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Reviewers say that the tent is easy to pitch and break down. And it does a good job of keeping the rain out. Many reviewers say that it would be pretty cramped to try and fit 4 adults in the tent. It would work better with 2 or 3 adults and a child.

Price - $170

Sierra Designs Stretch Prelude 4 Tent - This tent will keep you protected and safe during all 4 seasons with its wind-tunnel tested corners and thick nylon coated materials. It features 2 doors, almost 60 square foot of floor space, over 50 inches of headroom, and weighs only 11 lbs - which is pretty lightweight for a 4 season tent. It is easy to put up and take down with the clip together design. Reviewers found it to be rain and snow proof and roomy enough for 4 average sized adults. They also found it relatively easy to put together and lightweight considering the heavy-duty construction.
