Big Agnes Bunk House 6 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Bunk House 6 has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 6' 11, which is a tiny bit more than the average height of the 109 different 6 person tents we have studied. With 83 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to five other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a nice choice for campers that love spending loads of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Something we like about cabin tents is, that the sides of the tent are near vertical making for a generous interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, they also, tend to have large sleeping areas, making them great for groups. In general cabin tents are used by families going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. This dose though make them better suited to cooler nights.

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Bunk House may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 83 square feet, the Bunk House 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 109 other 6 person tents we have looked at.

4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Bunk House 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
