If you’re like me, you love the outdoors, but still prefer to camp with style and a good nights sleep. I like to stay away from all types of bugs and sleep comfortably each night knowing that I am in as secure a structure as possible. I also prefer to avoid waking up each morning with every part of my body aching from hours of laying on cold, hard, uneven ground, thus putting me in a grumpy, non-nature appreciating mood. If in budget I don’t believe anyone would shy away from getting the most bang for their buck.
With these three luxury tents, everybody can find a positive camping experience.
3. Sierra Designs Grand Mothership 12 – $4,000
For the price of $4,000, the Grand Mothership 12 can sleep up to twelve people or fit four people comfortably with enough room to even have a specific eating area. This tent (like other top of the line models) can withstand all four seasons for year round use with it’s 70D nylon exterior. The Mothership extends to 16 feet across and has a peak height of 85 inches, so there is plenty of room to stand and walk around on the interior. The tent has a structure of strong aluminum poles to withstand heavy winds and climates, and even comes with clip locks to avoid any chance of collapse. The Grand Mothership weighs 32 lbs, but with 140 total square feet and comfortable living in the wilderness, this tent is a great investment.
2. Mountain Hardwear Space Station – $5,000
The Mountain Hardwear Space Station fits a whopping 15 people inside with its crazy interior height of 101 inches. The Space Station is made from Titanium Dioxide coated 40D fly fabric and is so large that there are three doors and the entire thing has external snow flaps. This tent features 10 vents on its lower half with a very large zippered vent across the ceiling, and even comes with five windows so campers won’t feel totally boxed in when inside. The Space Station has a massive 309 square feet floor area but does weigh a heavy 70 lbs when packed; however, there is plenty of room for activities in this spacious tent.
1. North Face 2-Meter Dome – $5,000
Coming in at the top of the list is none other than one of the best known outdoor product companies; The North Face with their 2-Meter Dome. This tent, compared to the previous two, only has a 125 square feet and sleeps 8, but as the old saying goes; quality over quantity. The Dome can protect from the most vicious of winds and climates while providing great ventilation with its dual doors and other window vents. The Dome even comes with a chimney vent to allow for safe cooking! There are interior canopy loop hangers that can support a large flashlight or lantern and the tent even has an outer shell to provide extra durability. With a lifetime warranty guarantee, the North Face 2-Meter Dome is a beast!
