Spacious, easy to attach, and built to withstand varied weather conditions. The Big House 4 Vestibule is a practical upgrade for extended camp setups.
Big Agnes says:
The redesigned Big House is a big deal for car campers - the perfect portable shelter for housing the whole family under one roof.
Perfect for road warriors, the Big House is designed to be tall enough to stand in, while the domed design deflects wind - keeping the structure stable in stormy weather. Large doors and an easy entry rainfly make it easy to get in and out - no small matter when you're exhausted from a day spent outside getting after it. Ample interior pockets provide plenty of organization for all your gear, and the backpack-style carry bag makes getting gear from the car to the campsite more convenient than ever.
Simple enough to easily set up by headlamp after pulling up to a site late at night, and roomy enough for the whole crew to wait out a mid-afternoon rainstorm inside, the Big House is your go-to car camping oasis.
Our Verdict
Weighing 1536g (excluding pegs and bag), this add-on provides 4 m² of sheltered space for storing gear or creating a dry entry. The pole-supported structure adds stability, and the dual zip awning-style door is useful in wet or hot conditions. Materials match the main tent, with 75D polyester and a 1500 mm waterproof rating. Setup is straightforward, with multiple secure connection points. It’s a well-executed extension for anyone needing more coverage and organisation at camp.
