Browning Camping Basecamp Screen House 6 Person Shelter Tent Review

The Basecamp Screen House 6 has one door and a maximum center height of 7' 4, which is a little bit bigger than the average height of the 106 different 6 person tents we have examined With 120 square feet of space inside, it is a lot larger than some other 6-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, up to five other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one make an excellent choice for families that prefer having loads of space inside of their tent.

One of the good things about shelter tents is, that the sides of the tent are basically vertical creating a larger interior, this makes for much more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much bigger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents will be 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 well suited to colder nights.

Beneath you can see a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Basecamp Screen 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 ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Tons of space. With a center height of 88 inches (more than 6 feet) and a floor area of 120 square feet, the Basecamp Screen House gives you a lot of space. Most people can stand inside the tent without ducking their heads.
3. Tons of Headroom. With 6% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
4. Internal storage. It is nice to see Browning Camping has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
5. Breathable. The Basecamp Screen House's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
6. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person shelter tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $175.97

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Basecamp Screen 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. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
3. Only one room. The Basecamp Screen House is recommended for 6 people, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must keep them inside the tent.
5. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of fiberglass & steel uprights for extra strength. Using even some fiberglass with a large tent like the Basecamp Screen House 6 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 68D 190T polyester but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
