Big Agnes Bunk House 4 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Bunk House 4 has two windows and two doors and a peak center height of 5' 10, which is a tiny bit bigger than the average height of the 138 different 4 person tents we have studied. With 58 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a really nice choice for campers who like spending plenty of time outside the tent exploring.

Something we like about cabin tents is, that the walls of the tent are basically vertical making for a larger interior, this makes for a lot more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than a dome tent, in general the floor areas are quite large compared to other tents. Normally cabin tents most often used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. This dose though make them well suited to colder months.

Below you can see a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

2. Lots of Headroom. With 7% more headroom than similar size tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
3. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Offers you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
4. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
5. Has awnings. The awnings protect the sides of the tent.
6. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
7. More than one window. With 2 openings it is easier to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
8. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Bunk House may not do best 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 need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 58 square feet, the Bunk House 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 138 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Bunk House 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Bunk House 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 15 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
