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

Dome tents are the most common of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top.
