Customer Reviews

Great Boy Scout Tent
We are a Boy Scout Troop that does a lot of backpacking and camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of SC and NC. We have some older Kelty tents that have held up great through all of the abuse a group of teenage boys can put out, so we're very pleased with the brand. The features of the Gunnison were the best in the price range. We've had them out a couple of times and are happy with the room, weight and design of the tents. Especially the 2 door design and the large vestibules. We're expecting years of service from them. Will definitely buy again as we need more tents.

What a pleasant surprise!
I was looking for the elusive middle ground of a roomy 2-3 person tent for canoe camping. It didn't need to be backpacker micro-lite but couldn't be a car camping dome style monstrosity, either. I also needed it to be freestanding, because gravel bars and sandy beaches aren't always great places for tents that require staking to remain up. I also was not looking to send a bunch of money, so I shopped the tried and true manufacturers of "real" (that is, not sporting goods store) tents, including Kelty.

Given the reasonable price my expectations weren't that high. Heck, I spent this much on a backpacking tent nearly two decades ago! So, imagine my pleasant surprise when I got an attractive tent with one of the fastest, most intuitive setups of any tent I've ever had. It is also honestly sized. You really could sleep three adults in it easily, and for two adults with some gear (or a dog) it actually works and works well. Also, it is extremely well vented (lots of screen) but with a full to-the-ground rainfly, so without the fly it could be used on a warm summer night and on a cold excursion the fly traps a bit of heat. A true three-season tent in my opinion.

Longevity and durability are obviously something to see over time, but I have no reason right now to expect problems (and will post if I do).

Great little tent.
Nice tent and easy to set up. I had trouble trying to get the rainfly to line up with the seems and poles, so it would start to ride up on one side. It's a minor annoyance and I would recommend the tent to anyone else. Definitely more suited for two people than three.
