Review by Brent M. Pechumer for Mt. Barren Family Tent

After one summer of use, I am able to say I would rate this tent like I did on my first impression. It held up well during five camping trips. One included 50 mph winds and two hours of rain with eight people inside! The only complaint I have is the difficulty getting a large enough and level enough area for this monster tent.
All of the screens and zippers held up and the poles are all straight. The tent holds heat well at night. We slept in 45-50°F with plain sleeping bags: nothing extreme. We had a queen-sized air mattress, a double mattress, two bunk-style cots, a large 32″ dog crate and a 3×3 folding table in the tent. We also had our clothes bags and personal items in the tent. There is so much room! Great for families.
So I would recommend this tent for people looking for maximum room and plenty of storage area. I would not recommend this tent for people with limited camping site space or are camping without help to set it up. It is BIG!
Below is my original first impression.
Just to clarify-I have only set this tent up in the basement so far. My wife and I purchased this tent after weeks and weeks of research. It was one of three other tents to review. The other two tents were a Eureka Copper Canyon and the Gigatent Mt. Kingsman. This reason for our choice was two factors. First was price. Based on features, options and size, this Gigatent Mt. Barren wins hands down. The other factor was versatility. We camp with two young children and two dogs. Quite often we have family members or other children join us. The Mt. Barren allows you to divide the tent into one, two, three or four rooms.
The set-up of this tent was fairly easy. The instructions were a bit vague. My nephew and I set the tent up in the basement in about 20 minutes and two disassembles. Now that I have done it once (and labeled the poles) it should be fairly easy to have it up in 10 minutes or so.
Overall, I would say I am happy so far. It has tons of space (210 square feet) and lots of windows. I will post new info after we have camped in the tent a few times. For a good look at the tent use this link.

This is a monster of a tent. We had two large REI cots on one side for the adults. On the other side, the kids had smaller cots. TONS of extra room for bags, shoes, towels and whatever else the kids dragged in. I liked having two sides for the family. At night, we opened up the middle and just enjoyed being inside away from the bugs.
The set up is easier the second time! The longer pole needs to be on top of the cross poles when you raise the whole thing up. This is not explicitly stated in the instructions, but we figured it out with trial and error.
The kids enjoyed sleeping near their ‘secret’ windows which are the vents at the bottom of the tent.
Overall, I would recommend this tent to others. I found a GREAT price for it online. Keep watching the sales.
Happy Camping.
