Attention campers: seeking tent recommendations

Featured Replies

So I am camping on Lake Bomoseen and we got a 8 hours of rain Monday and despite spraying my tent down with water sealant my tent leaked and all our sleeping stuff got soaked.

My current tent is a discontinued 8 person Columbia. I’ve had it for years and it saw a ton of usage, and it’s definitely better designed than some other common brands I’ve owned that I got maybe two setups out of. I would buy another if it was available.

I can do a 6 person tent for my youngest son and I, but the 8 person has been ideal for a week’s worth of clothes and us space wise.

I’m looking at two options, one was my prior tent, a Walmart branded bell tent. It leaked a bit of water, I sprayed it with tent sealant and it never leaked again but it started ripping in the front.

The other is a Night Cat 8 person tent that has the exhaust port for a small woodstove which might be cool.

Anyway wondering if any of you campers have recommendations for tents that hold up.
