Spacious, weather-resistant, and simple to pitch. The Big House 6 Vestibule extends camp comfort with well-considered design and materials.
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
At 1837g (excluding pegs and bag), this vestibule adds 5.7 m² of sheltered space, ideal for organising gear or creating a covered social area. The dual zip awning-style door improves airflow and access, with storm flaps offering extra protection in poor conditions. The structure is stable thanks to a dedicated pole system, and setup is quick with secure buckles that align cleanly with the tent body. Built with 75D polyester and a 1500 mm waterproof coating, it’s a durable and functional add-on.
