Kelty Discovery Basecamp 4 Tent

2025-07-13T20:00:00

We purchased this tent as we don't always need our big 6 person tent on a quick weekend trip. Several things we are not impressed with... 1. The rainfly lays flat against the outside tent walls leaving very little ventilation. This then creates unwanted condensation on the inside walls. 2. The tiedowns for the rainfly come off the poles instead of the center of the wall. 3. The overhang at the doorway allowed water to drip directly into the tent opening. Overall this is not a tent we would recommend or purchase again.

I bought this tent for my daughter to sleep in on an upcoming trip to June Lake. I am all set up to sleep in my van, but she needed a tent for this trip specifically, and just have one for herself. This was pretty easy to assemble, and the colors look great. I love that the cover doesn't zip all the way down, I don't like that style, so this one is just perfect.

I like the tent and ease of set up. The second time I used it, 1 of the poles broke. The exchange/warranty was to difficult to manage. I replaced the pole myself.

This is my second Kelty Tent and I love both of them. Just spent 4 nights camping with it. It rained the entire 4th night, all night, not a drop of water in the tent in the morning. Would give it a 5 but the zipper can be a real pain. Would buy this tent again.

This was a perfect size for myself and my four year old on a three night trip. Just set it up to test for my wife and dog which makes 2.5 people and one dog. Looks like it?ll do the job. Just need to find a double air mattress. The pads it came with are fine but slip around and with two people, they just don?t stay together. Wish I got it without the package. The zipper does get stuck often and the string to pull one if the zippers already fell out so I may need to get a twist tie or new string. There is a small window at the top of the front door which is pretty good. Other than that I like it so far. Nice color scheme and I like how you can quickly unbuckle the rain cover to just have the screen.

Love this tent. Super easy to set up. Seems like it will last. Roomy and well made.
