Our Take
The Kelty Rumpus 6 is a standout car-camping tent thanks to its massive vestibule that acts as a protected porch for your gear, pets, or a couple of camping chairs.
Its tall peak height allows most campers to stand upright comfortably, and the Quick Corner sleeves make it remarkably easy for one person to pitch alone.
While it’s too heavy for backpacking, this tent offers excellent livability and value for families who want plenty of space to spread out at the campsite.
