Browning Camping Big Horn 5 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Big Horn 5 has four windows and one door and a maximum center height of 7' 0, which is 11 inches bigger than the average height of the 30 different 5 person tents we have studied. With 80 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 5-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to four other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a good choice for people who like spending lots of time outside their tent getting some air.

One of the benefits of cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are near vertical creating a spacious interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups. In general 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. That dose though make them better suited to cooler months.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Big Horn can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have 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. Lots of Headroom. With 11% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. 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.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the sides of the tent.
5. More than one window. With 4 windows it is easier to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
6. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 150D polyester oxford, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
7. Other sizes are available. Browning Camping has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
8. Low price. It is a great buy for a 5 person cabin tent that provides this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $124.99

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Big Horn 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 80 square feet, the Big Horn 5 is smaller than quite a lot of the 30 other 5 person tents we have looked at.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you need keep them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy rain.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Big Horn 5 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 150D polyester oxford, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
