Although, this is a slight dead spot for tent weights. This tent is fairly lightweight, coming in at 4 lbs 13 oz. These are updated versions of what was previously known as the Kelty TN2, TN3, and TN4, respectively. The Kelty Dirt Motel tent tops our list and comes in 2, 3, and 4 person models.

Could do with more guylines to improve surface tension waterproofing of rainfly.

Heavier than ultralight backpacking tents (although still light overall).

Great for terrible weather and built to military spec, but terrible value for money for most backpackers. Other family camping tents provide more room and storage.Īmazing waterproofing but the vents can let in rain and huge condensation issues. But build quality is poor.Īn average backpacking tent which could do with better tent stakes and more guylines. Good tent for very casual campers in fair weather conditions and brilliant for dogs. Similar to the Dirt Motel but too heavy for backpacking and has lower quality materials. Good for space and excellent value for money, but not as good as the Dirt Motel in bad weather.Ī decent budget backpacking tent, but the Kelty Dirt Motel is better in every other way.
