Deal Details
4 person tent. Nothing fancy but cheap and works well.
8' x 7' x 4.8' high = 96" x 84" x 58".

Pros compared to other tents in this price range:
- thick polyester floor, goes up a few inches from the floor and well taped to the tent walls
- almost vertical walls provide mor space than traditional dome tent
- Large awning for good rain protection over the door
- storage bag large enough to put the tent back in it without struggling!
- mesh all around for good ventilation
- 60" tall inside
- guylines on for corners AND mid fly for good ventilation
- easy to set up because no sleeves on the tent roof, and attached poles with sleeves on the opposite corners (almost as good as what Kelty does on their Discovery Basecamp)
- fly comes down quite low for good rain protection

Cons:
- rather thin poles
- fly fabric a bit thin
- only 1 door, no windows, and no electric door
- attached poles makes it awkward to stretch out for drying up

Pretty similar to the popular Sundome, except a tad taller inside and narrower, but with a much better floor and awning, and the fly goes down lower.
Note also: the Kelty Discovery Basecamp 4 for $82 at REI, a bit smaller and no poly thick floor. Also 6 person version on sale at Dick's right now, a good one if you want a very large tent.

Usually hovers between $120 and $145, currently on sale at Amazon and Target for $100.

yes that's a good deal too, but it's much larger at 10x10 and harder to set up for 1 person because it's 6' high, so slinging the fly above the tent is not easy

My 2 cents: this would have been perfect for me as an adult going with BSA scouting summer camp. Adults chaperones are there for the week in individual tents and there was usually (always?) either transport or car access to the troop site.
-full fly because it will rain
-room for a tall queen inflatable because old knees
-enough height and room for a chair to get dressed inside
-enough room to keep a weeks gear inside
-not so big it will be hard to find room to place the tent

Its only 4'8" but most tents are only tall right in the center where your bed will be. This spreads the height out.

You mean this? https://www.dickssportinggoods.co...ndm6xxxcat

That's a Sundome not a Skydome and not as nice a tent. $80 is a decent deal but for the bigger size I would wait for a deal on an instant tent. Honestly, I other than backpacking, I don't use anything except instant tents anymore. There's a lot to be said for setting up quickly when rain is coming or night is falling.

Maybe something like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-...hbdg=L1700

Good luck!
