So all things considered, this is a nice buy if "glamping" (glamorous camping) is what you're after.

For 2-4 people (and a less "aspirational" look, imo), there's the walmart one that I actually consider more practical. Easy setup, and there is no center pole. At 12'x12' it should easily sleep 4 very comfortably. Ozark Teepee [walmart.com].

Guide gear also has some teepee tents, but they have a center pole. They come in brown-ish (regular [sportsmansguide.com]) and green-ish (deluxe) [sportsmansguide.com].

Lastly, at this price-point I'd suggest something a little more "practical", particularly the cabin style tents. Adding a string of lights and a cool/aesthetic rug at the entrance is usually all you need to glamp it up.
There's the instant type that I'd recommend the most, such as the Coleman Skylodge 6p [coleman.com] and the Ozark Trail 8-Person Instant Hexagon [walmart.com].
Less practical are the kind that you have to set up with someone else's help, like the Coleman 4p Evergreen [coleman.com], Coleman Skydome 6p [coleman.com], Ozark Trail 5-Person Dome Tent [walmart.com], and a very complicated (yet pretty cool-looking) Ozark Trail 15' x 15' 9-Person Lighted Sphere Tent [walmart.com].

Stick with a tent that has enough height for an average person to stand in (figure about 6'), as it's the most important part of glamping. These tents will all have a footprint that's a little bigger, but mind that you could run in to space issues at your actual camping site. Really, the only reason not to go too big on your tent is for campsite selection. Try to stay away from tents with an interior pole (unless the interior is huge), because it won't be fun when you knock it over while doing "drunk couples yoga".
Because it's posted on slickdeals? ;-)

Most things posted for Costco are just list price deals. I have no idea why people post them.
A glamping tent usually uses Cotton(or mixture).
The cotton tent is heavier than Polyester, but It more comfortable to sleep in.
That's why those are expensive.

who cares about total comment votes, i was talking about the validity of your comment that had three downvotes, and i hadn't even downvoted it. You must not camp often 😂
I camp all the time, I'm just competent enough driving even a few dozen stakes into the ground doesn't take my very long. Can somebody tell me how to block this loser?

Maybe there is a big demand for yurt style tents in the slickdeal universe.


Again, this not a yurt.

At all.

Not even a little.


It'd be like calling a disposable plastic rain poncho a designer leather jacket because both technically cover your upper body and have arm holes.


Yurts are vastly sturdier, easier to stand in, vastly easier to put up, don't require any stakes, wires, or center poles, offer convection cooling-- and they're also heavier and significantly more expensive.

if you're driving several dozen stakes into the ground at once you must not camp often! 😂

you're talking to a backpacker i know my stakes, thanks.
Many of us backpackers out here in N California don't use stakes for a 1or 2 person, free standing tent. When camping in the granite, good luck trying to pound in a stake. A few rocks work well for keeping corners down if needed.

Half Dome? LOL . You can't camp on Half Dome. Had you actually been there, you would know.

The center pole is actually a feature 😉

Quote from CreditGuy :
It's because Costco is the epicenter of the retail world for some people. The ones that go on every deal and ask "how does this compare to Costco". Maybe there is a big demand for yurt style tents in the slickdeal universe, but I rather think that a good many of the buyers are the same ones sucked in by the majority of the treasure hunt deals at Costco. They are the ones with the caskets sitting in their garages because "it seemed like a great deal".

Or it's a store that offers lifetime returns so even mediocre deals are automatically better through them.

LOL..probably did HD likely before you were born. No link to vid?

Did HD twice: 85 and 93 so way before a permit was required. I grew up in the area and covered all the parks nearby: Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and my favorite, Mineral King.

For those who are considering the HD hike, it's all about endurance as it's a 12 hour hike with 4,000+ gain in elevation. First time I did it, I was feeling quite studly..until I saw a group of women well into their 60's ahead of us with them talking and laughing all the way.
