Big Agnes Bunk House 8 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Bunk House 8 has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 6' 11, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 63 other 8 person tents we have examined With 104 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 8-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to seven other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, larger tents like this one can make a good choice for people that welcome having heaps of room for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the many advantages of cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are near vertical creating a spacious interior, this makes for a lot more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally 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. That dose though make them well suited to colder months.

1. Freestanding. The Bunk House can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the sides of the tent.
5. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
6. More than one window. With 2 windows it is simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Bunk House may not do best 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 104 square feet, the Bunk House 8 is smaller than quite a lot of the 65 other 8 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Bunk House is designed for 8 campers, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Bunk House 8 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.

Big Agnes's Bunk House 8 tent is suitable for car camping. Here are a few other cool things not noted above which, we noticed and liked, while researching the model: The oversized front vestibule is pole supported to create a covered awning and dry entry and exit., Quick Stash door keeper on tent body doors makes stowing unzipped doors quick and easy and Pole-securement points located on interior of rainfly provide perfect pitch and extra stability.
