Dome tents are easily the most common of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the top. The most basic dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.
