PROS

1. Freestanding. The Camp Cabin 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. Lots of Headroom. With 5% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Kelty has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. More than one window. With 4 openings it is easier to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
5. Breathable. The Camp Cabin'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. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 0mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.
7. If you are searching for this actual tent, you are in luck it has been discontinued on the manufactures site, but is still available elsewhere.
8. Low price. It is a great deal for a 6 person cabin tent that provides this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $299.95

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Camp Cabin may not do well 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 85 square feet, the Camp Cabin 6 is smaller than quite a lot of the 105 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Camp Cabin is designed for 6 campers, many 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 will have to keep them inside the tent.
5. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of fiberglass and steel. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Camp Cabin 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 68-denier polyester but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
