A few of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, 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 suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is typically considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
