The 10 Best Cabin Tents

You can get 12 of your closest friends into the Ozark Trail Instant (appx. $295), a 16-foot by 16-foot choice that not only gives you seven windows, but also a sizable front awning for lounging in the shade. The large ground vent adds to the airflow, too.

They aren't kidding around when they call the Tahoe Gear Ozark (around $232) large, as its sleeps 16 — or perhaps only one or two who really, really like their personal space. It isn't the most hardwearing model, though, so it may be best for casual use.

Your friends or hunting buddies should all fit in this Browning Big Horn (around $287), a two-room version that's plenty tall to prevent stooping and feelings of claustrophobia. It's also got ample ventilation, provided by six spacious windows.

If you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles, then the Kelty Camp Cabin (about $217) is worthy of a look. Its overall design is more streamlined than bulky, it's got simple windows with zippable flaps, and its angled roof won't collect precipitation.

This Core 9 Person (appx. $220) gives you nearly everything you could want, from a removable rain fly that keeps bad weather at bay to a cord outlet port, so you won't have to suffer without easy access to electricity. It even arrives with stakes.

There are plenty of features to recommend the Eureka Copper Canyon 12 Person (appx. $484), including a handy removable divider curtain and a full mesh roof that keeps the air inside from becoming unpleasantly stale. Some find it a touch hard to set up, though.

Not terribly patient? Then the Coleman Instant (around $135) is an option to consider. As its name suggests, thanks to preattached poles, it goes up in about a minute, whether you're great at origami or not. It's got small touches that make it comfy, too, such as storage pockets.

The Timber Ridge 8-Man (about $300) really puts the "cabin" in "cabin tent," since it's designed to look like one of its log-built counterparts. It's pretty roomy, too, making it a fun choice for glamping as well as for those who want to show off their individual flair.

Go ahead and invite your tallest family member, since this Standing Room Family 4-Door (appx. $180) offers you a full 8.5 feet of vertical space. And if you still feel crowded, you can open the two generous zippered skylights to get some fresh air.

You won't feel like you're roughing it in the Coleman Tenaya Lake (appx. $187), as it's got plenty of touches that make outdoor living more luxurious. These include a room divider for privacy and a built-in closet with a hanger bar and shelves so your clothes won't get rumpled.
