Large spacious “Base camp” tents that are perfect for 3 season family adventures. The Bunk House has lots of room for people, gears storage and a large vestibule to hang out in.
Big Agnes says:
Spacious, three-season tent with two large doors and vestibules.
The Bunk House 4 garners more campground ‘tent-envy’ than anything else at the campground. When unexpected wind, rain, or a freak June snow storm rolls in, you’ll be glad you pitched this burly double wall tent.
Fully-loaded with tons of useful features, including 16 interior pockets and a full coverage rainfly. Use the large built-in vestibules for gear storage, a mud room, or added living space. When you're feeling light, deploy in Shelter Mode without the tent body for an open concept covered structure. When it's time to break camp, the backpack-style carry bag makes packing in and out more convenient than ever.
Our Verdict
The Bunk House Tent Series are vast! This Four-person tent has ample room for four to sleep as well as to store a lot of gear. You only have one large internal space, and a vestibule, so everyone is sleeping in one area. This would make a brilliant communal base, small tents dotted around the big communal tent.
The tent has two incredibly large doors, one large “front” vestibule, which, with the use of Big Agnus’s Tarp poles, can be used as an awning and a “back porch”. This is a large airy tent with plenty of airflow. A lot of mess has been used on the inside of the tent to promote good ventilation and reduce condensation, which is especially useful if four are sleeping in the tent.
A lot of consideration to internal storage has been given, The Bunk House 4 has 16 mesh pockets, and The Bunk House 6 has 20. As well as lots of additional loops and ties that can accommodate washing lines and Big Agnes Gear Lofts.
To help with transport, these tents pack into a nice carry system, though I wouldn’t recommend carrying them for any long distance. This is a fantastic basecamp thet for campsites, but it would also work well at the beach; just make sure to bring some sand pegs.
