The Rimrock 8 Two Room is Cedar Ridge's largest tent, and it has six windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 7' 4, which is a little bit bigger than the average height of the 53 various 8 person tents we have studied. With 140 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit larger than some other 8-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to seven other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, larger tents similar to this one generally make a superb choice for groups that welcome having heaps of space for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the great One of the sweet things about cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are near vertical creating a sizeable interior, this allows for a lot more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents are used by people 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 well suited to cooler months. Many cabin tents contain more than a single room, similar to the Cedar Ridge Rimrock two-room tent

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Rimrock Two Room 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Plenty of space. With a peak height of 88 inches (more than 6 feet) and a floor area of 140 square feet, the Rimrock gives you a lot of space. Most people can stand inside the tent without ducking their heads.
3. Lots of Headroom. With 6% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
4. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Cedar Ridge adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
5. More than one room. The Rimrock comes with two rooms, allowing for extra privacy. Perfect for a large family and groups who do not want to be all sleeping together.
6. Removable divider. For those who want to maximize all of the available space that the Rimrock provides, the divider can be detached to have one large room for everyone to share.
7. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
8. More than one window. With 6 windows it is easier to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
9. Breathable. The Rimrock'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.
10. Available in other sizes. Cedar Ridge has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
11. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 8 person cabin tent that provides this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $249.99

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Rimrock 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 need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
3. 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 downpours.
4. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of fiberglass poles and steel uprights. Using even some fiberglass with a large tent like the Rimrock 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
5. Poor Heat Retention. The general design of the Cedar Ridge's Rimrocks interior is designed to easily let air in and out. Therefore, it cannot keep heat inside, making it unsuitable for use in winter.
6. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Rimrock 8, weighs 31 pounds and has a packed size of 11 X 28 inches. Clearly it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Rimrock 8 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyethylene Tub, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
8. Unfavorable Ratings. Unfortunatly the Rimrock 8 has some of the worst ratings of all tents on optimumtents.com
