Kelty Trail Dome 4 Tent - 4-Person, 3-Season

I plan on using the Ketly Trail Dome 4 tent for camping during the Summer at Monte Christo or other simular campgrounds. Some camping areas are best suited for tents. I have owned the Ketly Trail Dome 6 tent for several years and have been very pleased. It may be difficult finding a foot print for this tent. I use a tarp.

This is the third Kelty Trail Dome tent I have owned. I plan on camping at campgrounds that are designed for tent camping. The aluminum poles make this tent sturdy during wind and rain. Set- up only takes a few minutes. Most manufactures of tents claim their tents can sleep 4 or whatever. Plan on 2-3 people for a 4 person tent. The footprint is available by searching the WEB.

I used the tent once for a weekend trip. I was very pleased with the quality and ease to set up. It would be somewhat cramped with 4 adults, better for 2 or 3. I used it for myself with plenty of room for gear. Buyer should consider that tent has one door.

The Kelty Trail Dome 4 works well for me as a photographer who may move every day or two. It's easy to set up and takes only 10 minutes to do so by myself. It serves as luxurious space for one person and has sufficient height to allow me to move about without being constantly on my knees though not fully standing. It has ample room for me to set up a small table and work on my laptop in the evening. I cannot speak to it's performance as I've only used it three nights and was not challenged by the wind or rain. I appreciate the aluminum poles and the high water repellency rating on the rain fly. I wish there was a window in addition to the vents on the door and the back panel for cross ventilation but there is good ventilation through the mesh ceiling. The door zipper is a little frustrating as it tends to catch on the flap seal on the door. I believe it will keep me dry unless threatened by the wind. All in all, it was a satisfying purchase. I would do it again.
