The Juniper Lake 4 Instant has one window and one door and a peak center height of 4' 2, which is 11 inches smaller than the average height of the 158 various 4 person tents we have studied. With 63 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one can generally make a really nice choice for people who appreciate spending lots of hours outside of their tent exploring.

Some of the cool things about modified dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the modified 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.

Modified Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The most straightforward modified dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Juniper Lake Instant 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Low price. It is a great buy for a 4 person modified dome tent providing this much room. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $149.99

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 63 square feet, the Juniper Lake 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 159 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Rainfly does not wholly 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. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyethylene D but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Juniper Lake 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 13 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
