Alps Mountaineering Camp Creek 4 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Camp Creek 4 has four windows and one door and a peak center height of 7' 0 which is 20 inches bigger than the average height of the 129 different 4 person tents we have looked at. With 64 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers throughout the 3-seasons this tent is recommended for. Smaller tents like this one can generally make a really good choice for people who welcome spending loads of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

One of the sweet things about cabin tents is, that the sides are near vertical making for a spacious interior, this makes for plenty of headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups.

Beneath you can see an account of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Camp Creek 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Tons of Headroom. With 20% more headroom than similar size tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Alps adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the sides of the tent.
5. More than one window. With 4 windows it is simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
6. Tons of Positive Reviews The Camp Creek 4 has Tons of great Reviews
7. Other sizes are available. Alps has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
8. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person cabin tent that provides this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $159.99 info_outline

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Camp Creek 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 64 square feet, the Camp Creek 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 129 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must keep them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy rain.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Camp Creek 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 150D polyester oxford, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
6. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Camp Creek 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 20 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store much stuff inside..

Value for money: In terms of value for your money, this tent is significantly more competitive than the standard cost of all the one hundred and fifty, four-person tents we have looked at, this alone by itself does not make it good value for money.
