Nice family tent., May 9, 2007
This is a really nice tent. Easy to set up, spacious, good for car camping. The tent that we received has a zipper (on the door) that is quirky... it has trouble rounding the corners and doesn't always work right, so that sometimes the teeth pull apart and you have to "unzip" it and then slowly zip it again to make sure it works right ... and it zips better from the inside than the outside, so we've found that it is sometimes better when closing the door from the outside to put your hand on the inside of the tent and pull on that part of the zipper until you get it all the way around the corners. This is a minor frustration that might just be a small defect of our particular tent, and perhaps we could exchange it or have it fixed, but it didn't seem worth the trouble to me. Another frustration we had was when our toddler got ahold of the tent pole and snapped the cord. Totally our fault... we broke it, there was no default with that. But Kelty had great customer service and even though we explained exactly what happened, they replaced the pole. We just had to pay shipping one-way to send the broken pole to them.

Good Price & Easy Set-Up, September 2, 2008

We bought this tent because of the price and reviews. Turns out to be a good purchase. The tent was very easy to setup. Setting up the tent took 1 person about 15 minutes. The tent stood up to quite a bit of wind with no problem, very sturdy. Did not get a chance to test for water-proof. Nice roomy tent, but I do not think 6 people can fit in it, 4 with all your gears would be ideal.

Easy set up and sturdy, September 24, 2009
This review is from: Kelty Yellowstone 6-Person Tent (Navy/Grey) (Sports)
We tested this out in the backyard of a ranchhouse so we haven't
endured crazy wind/rain which is common in various places here
in Hawai'i, but for the most part we were happy with the construction
of the tent, ease of set up and sturdy tent poles.
However, when the description said it could sleep 6, I thought
that meant comfortably... Ha ha. I should have measured
our old tent, but relied on the "sleeps 6" description.
Totally made me laugh when I saw the diagram on the box
with 6 body shapes crammed into the tent all a jumble and
at different angles!!! Yikes. But believe it or not, we fit 4 cots inside.
Gear went under the cots plus there was some wiggle room. 1 cot
was at the rear of tent, parallel to the door and 3 perpendicular to
door and 1st cot. There was space to walk between each cot...
Just a place to sleep, but when we go up the mountain or
down to the ocean, I think we'll just do 2 cots and the kids can
do sleeping bags on the floor...
Main point, I got a 6 sleeper for 4 people, but if you need a lot of room
for gear and or adults, get an even larger one...
Otherwise, great so far!
