Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is typically considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
