2019 Best Family Camping Tents With Full Rain Fly (34 Models)

---

Here I give the list of the best family camping tents with full rain fly, all suitable for at least 3-season camping, very reliable, and with an easy setup.

Camping tents with rain fly – about terminology

♦ Some family camping tents are single-layer, which means the walls and the roof are waterproof. In such a case you do not have any fly. Typical examples of this type are the Nemo Wagontop tent and Coleman Instant tent. There are both good and bad sides of such a design, like a good packed size (because of less material) on one side, and the issue of condensation on the other side.

♦ In some other designs, the walls are waterproof and the roof is a mesh. This design is suitable for family camping tents and you should have a much better ventilation in such tents. So the roof mesh must be protected and these tents have a minimal fly on the roof only.

You have such type in many cabin style tents and in instant tents. When you see such tents, you realize that such a minimal fly is there also to allow for unimpeded views through the huge windows which you usually have there.

But there are also dome type tents with such minimal fly. You will notice that these also have a window and a door with the window, so again the minimal fly is there to allow for views. Typical examples of this type are the Core 6 Person Dome tent and the Coleman 6 person Sundome tent.

♦ The third group is with tents that have a full-coverage fly. These are fully double layer designs, so you have:

• an inner tent which contains a lot of mesh, and,
• the full fly which protects the interior.

These tents are generally the most reliable structures (assuming that the fly is reliable and that the seams are fully sealed of course).

Here are all three types presented in pictures:

In this third group, you have mainly dome style tents (but not always, see the Arctic Oven tent below), and this can be the simplest dome with an X-shaped pole structure or an extended dome shape where the dome is extended on one side or on both.

Below, I give my list of excellent examples of the camping tents with full rain fly, ordered by the inner floor area from the smallest to the largest.

 

As you will realize from the text below, these are all relatively small camping tents so the declared capacity is in the range 6 – 8 people.

1. Marmot Orbit 6P Tent

The inner area of this tent, which is only 77.5 ft² (7.2 m²), is in a big contrast to its total protected area. Namely, the porch which you have here is gigantic, around 100 square feet. So the total protected area is 182.5 ft² (16.9 m²), and this gives 30.4 ft² (2.8 m²) per person. You realize that in spite of its high position here in the list (the tents are ordered by the inner area), the tent offers far more space than many other tents. But the fact is that the inner area is really too small for the declared 6 people capacity.

The tent is built from quality materials, you have the best DAC poles, the fabric is polyester, and the waterproof rating is 1500 mm for the fly and 2000 mm for the floor. Obviously, this is a full-coverage design and the fly is huge. The porch is with three entry doors, so the tent is very functional. Please read more in my full review.

2. EXIO 6-Person Compact Backcountry Tent

The Exio tent has the word ‘compact’ in its name and this refers to its inner tent area which is quite small and you have 80 ft² (7.4 m²) there. But this is an extended dome style design, and the tent comes with two vestibules. The front vestibule looks like a porch, so you have an extra 70 ft² (6.5 m²) of the fully protected area. As you realize, this makes it a quite luxurious option for camping, both for groups and for families.

The fly of this tent is full coverage as you see from the picture above, it goes all the way to the ground and you are fully protected. You have 2000 mm waterproof rating on the fly and 3000 mm in its bathtub floor, so these are great numbers, certainly good enough for any 3-season use.

One of the great features of this tent is its price. You can get it for half of the money needed to buy any of its closest competitors, and I am pretty sure this is not on the account of quality. This is a very reliable tent, please see more in my full review.

3. ALPS Mountaineering Taurus 5 Outfitter Tent 

This is a 5-person tent so the inner area which it offers is only 80 ft² (7.44 m²). But the two vestibules add 32 ft² (3.25 m²), so the total protected area is 112 ft² (10.7 m²), and you have 22.4 ft² (2.14 m²) per person. The materials used in the construction are very durable, the floor is no less than 210D nylon and the fly is 75D polyester. The poles are a high-quality aluminum.

The waterproof rating for the floor and the fly is 1500 mm and with such a full fly you have complete protection from elements. There are only very small mesh sections on the inner tent, so it is better suited for a cooler environment. Please see more in my full review.

---

4. Eureka Boondocker Hotel 6 Tent

The Boondocker tent is high in the list here because of its modest inner tent area which is only 82 ft² (7.6 m²). But make no mistake, this tent has two huge vestibules. In fact, one of them is a true garage and the total space per person is 23 ft² (2.16 m²). This is a new tent on the market which they launched in 2018.

The tent is with a unique detail here in the list and this is related to its full coverage fly. It has a window on the fly and it is with mesh and panel, and you have a zipper on the inner tent to get to this external window to close it when needed.

You have two entrance doors and one window. The waterproof rating is 1800 mm for the fly and 3000 mm for the floor. So the tent offers full protection in a 3-season use. Please read more in my full review.

5. Kelty Trail Ridge 6 Person Tent

The Trail Ridge 6 tent is a very typical dome style tent with a simple X-shape poles structure, and an easy setup. The structure is freestanding and very lightweight. So this is an excellent choice if you need to carry it to some shorter distances. Note that there is also a bigger cousin of this tent, the Kelty Trail Ridge 8 with the same features, so no need to present it separately.

Note that the gear loft is included as well as the footprint. As you see from the picture above, the tent is with a stargazing design. You have two doors and two vestibules, so the tent offers lots of space for the storage of gear. You have 82 ft² (7.62 m²) of the inner floor area, plus 34 ft² (3.2 m²) under the two vestibules.

The fly is the main point of the story, so indeed, it is a full coverage type, and the mentioned vestibules are the part of it. All in all, this is a really simple but reliable tent from a renown brand.

6. Eureka Space Camp 6 Person Tent

This Space Camp 6 is a tent from a completely new series by Eureka. They launched it for the 2019 season together with a smaller 4-person tent. This is a tent with very strong aluminum poles, a dome style construction, but the legs poles are almost straight and the ceiling sections are pre-bent. So the tent looks boxy like a cabin style tent.

The inner area is only 83 ft² (7.7 m²) but the tent is with two vestibules so the total area is 122.5 ft² (11.4 m²). The vestibules doors are asymmetric in the design, the front one shown above is with dual zippers and the other is with a single central zipper.

This is a camping tent, it weighs 16 lb 1 oz (7.28 kg) and the packed size is such that you can transport it even on a bicycle. The fly is full coverage type and you have complete protection from elements. Please follow the link for more.

7. Marmot Limestone 6

The Limestone 6 is somewhat similar to the Kelty Trail Ridge tent, so here again, you have a dome type tent. Though the poles are of a different design and the walls are quite vertical, and it looks almost like a cabin type tent. This is a very lightweight and freestanding structure, completely reliable and suitable for any weather conditions in a 3-season use.

You have 2 doors and the tent is covered with a top-quality waterproof fly which creates two vestibules. The total inner area is 83.3 ft² (7.75 m²) and the two asymmetric vestibules create additional 27 ft² + 12 ft² (2.5 m² + 1.1 m²) of a fully protected area.

Note that you have 3000 mm waterproofness rating for the floor, and 1500 mm for the full coverage fly.

The inner area is not particularly big, you have 84 ft² (7.75 m²) but the tent is with two vestibules that add 33 ft² (3.1 m²). So this is plenty of the protected area. I mentioned it was portable, so indeed you have 14.69 lb (6.7 kg) and it is also nicely packable. Please read more in my full review.

9. Eureka Midori Basecamp 6 Tent

The Eureka Midori is an incredibly lightweight tent and nicely packable. This is a very simple design but it offers all you need for occasional camping tours. Its weight makes it a very versatile option, suitable even for hiking and backpacking tours.

The structure is freestanding and the inner area is 85 ft² (7.9 m²), so it offers a bit more than the models above. But you also have 2 vestibules which provide 38 ft² (3.5 m²) in total. Please see more in my full review.

---

10. Eureka X-Loft 6 Person Tent

It is unusual to see a tunnel type tent in this group, and this X-Loft 6 person tent is exactly this. So this is a double-layer structure with an inner tent and a full-coverage fly. When covered with the fly it looks like a dome tent.

The tent offers 85 ft² (7.9 m²) in the inner tent and there are also two vestibules with the total area of 46.5 ft² (4.3 m²). So the total covered area is 131.5 ft² (12.2 m²) and this is quite a lot of useful space. The waterproof rating is 1800 mm for the fly and 2000 mm for the floor. This is quite decent for a normal 3-season camping. Please read more in my full review.

The Sequoia 6 Tent is a completely new model that they launched in February 2018. The full fly is quite unusual to see in such a tall structure – you have  82 inches (208 cm) the peak height here. This makes it very livable of course. The inner floor area looks relatively small, so you have 87 ft² (8 m²), but see the vestibule – it offers another 42 ft² (3.9 m²) of the covered space.

So this is an impressive tent which offers a full protection; the waterproof rating is 1800 mm for the fly and for the floor. The poles are incredibly durable steel material. The packed size is also impressive, please see more in my review.

---

12. Mountain Hardwear Optic 6 Tent

The Optic 6 tent is an unusual design with two doors positioned next to each other around the same corner. This creates a large angle for views around. This must be the reason for the word optic in the name.

The two vestibules are asymmetric and one allows for the awning configuration which you can see in the picture. You have all quality materials here, and those include DAC DA-17 aluminum poles.

The waterproof rating is impressive, 3000 mm for the fly and the floor, so this tent provides full protection in a 3-season use. The tent provides 86 ft² (8 m²) of the inner area, and there are also two asymmetric vestibules that add some covered space so the total protected area is 112.6 ft² (10.5 m²).

The tent is only with one door which is not so great, and the poles are fiberglass, so a bit of care is needed. But as I said, this is an entry-level tool. It offers 87 ft² (8.1 m²) of the inner floor area and an additional 22 ft² (2 m²) of the protected space under the vestibule. Note that it is only 6.9 kg of weight, so it is portable in backpacks if used by groups of friends.

14. The North Face Kaiju 6 Person Tent

This Kaiju 6 offers a relatively small sleeping area for 6 people, 86.7 ft² (8.1 m²), but it has a huge porch plus a vestibule on the other side. So the total area here is 154 ft² (14.5 m²), and this means 25.7 ft² (2.4 m²) per person. The tent is also very tall with 80 inches (203 cm) peak height.

Obviously, this is a full-coverage fly tent so you have a complete protection from elements. It comes with aluminum poles and with many storage pockets inside. The picture above shows the roll-up feature with the fly, which you can use when the sky is clear to increase ventilation.

You have no less than 96.7 ft² (9 m²). of the inner floor area here, plus 64 square feet (6 m²) under the vestibules. So this is a very livable construction with lots of floor and elbow room. Two large doors only add to this overall feeling. The poles are top-notch DAC Press-Fit aluminum.

30. Chinook Twin Peaks Guide 6-Person Plus Fiberglass Pole Tent

The picture I give here for this Twin Peaks Guide 6 tent shows its unique design. It includes two dome structures which are connected by an inner door and the front section is a screen part. But it is here in the list because of its full fly that covers both sections completely to the ground. However, the fly has zippers on the sides and they create large windows on the screen room.

The inner room is with a bathtub style floor but the front room’s floor is removable. There are buckles in the corners to fix it in place.

This tent offers full protection from the rain in both sections, both the fly and the floor are with 2000 mm waterproof rating. The poles are fiberglass and this is why the tent is heavy, 28 lb 8 oz (12.9 kg). The capacity is 6 people, the total area is 128 ft² (11.9 m²) so indeed it can accommodate such a number of users if they sleep in both rooms. Note that both rooms are very tall with 81 inches (206 cm) peak height.

31. Marmot Guest House 6-Person Tent

This is an extended dome construction with 4 doors and 2 rooms, and with mentioned 3 vestibules. The tent is very tall with the peak height 76 inches (193 cm) so this is a pleasant structure which offers full protection from elements.

The poles are top quality DAC aluminum and the fly is with 1500 mm waterproof rating. The floor is with a 2000 mm rating. There are vents on the fly and the inner tent is with many storage pockets. I have included it also in my list of best 6-person tents.

---

32. Chinook Titan Lodge Aluminum Tent – 8 Person

The Chinook Titan Lodge is in this list because of its full fly, but it is also a rather big and tall tent. So the hight is 88 inches (224 cm) which is not so frequent in dome style tents and its declared capacity is 8 people in the floor area of 140 ft² (13 m²). I have included it in my list of very tall tents.

This is a true 3-season freestanding tent with a strong frame created by 4 poles that have 5 intersections. The waterproof rating is 2000 mm. So clearly, it is designed to withstand lots of pressure. It has 2 rooms and 4 extra large doors. Such a luxury you will not see in many dome type tents on the market.

---

33. Arctic Oven Tent 6 with vestibule 

This tent is exceptional in many ways, so to start with its general shape first. You have a cabin style tent with very tall and steep walls. The structure looks freestanding, but obviously, to make it fully functional you have to stake it down.

This is also a winter tent in the best sense of this phrase, designed to work in any environment. A part of such a design is the stove pipe jack which you have on the roof. So the tent is built to be used with a wood stove.

Yet another feature that makes it completely different from other tents is the Vapex fabric used for the inner tent. This is a special breathable material, so the tent is without any mesh. But this material is what makes it a 4-season tent.

Back to the fly which is the main feature discussed in this text, this is again something exceptional. It is full size and you also have large flaps all around the perimeter and you can see them in the picture above, so you can press them by snow or by sand for extra protection against wind.

The tent offers 152 ft² (14.1 m²) of the inner area, plus 46 ft² (4.3 m²) in the vestibule. Note that this is one of the most expensive tents on the market, please see more in my full review.

34. NTK Super Arizona GT Tent

The full coverage fly tents are usually smaller structures as you realize from the examples above. But this NTK Super Arizona is a great exception. You have 210 ft² (19.5 m²) of the floor area here and the tent is very tall, with the peak height of 83 inches (210 cm). If you feel that this is too big for you, note that they have also a 9-person version.

So this is a 2-room structure with an awning configuration and it is suitable for a 3-season use. It is quite elongated and it looks like a tunnel tent, but this is a rather specific extended dome tent. You have two entry doors here and the waterproof rating is quite impressive 2500 mm. I should add also that it comes with a really fair price tag. Please read more in my full review.

Final thoughts

So this was my list of family camping tents with full rain fly, and as you realize you have a plethora of options to choose. This can be confusing indeed, so perhaps this may help a bit:

• All of them are 3-season tents, and they all provide full protection for such a use. So these are reliable tools, and you can only check their features in detail to see what suits you best, and check the prices as well.
• But some of them are even more than that, so you have the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 6 which is described as a 3-season-plus tent. Of course, one cannot avoid mentioning separately the Arctic Oven, which is a unique design for 4-seasons and with all features needed to use a stove in it; but it comes at a price.
• If you need some privacy in the tent, note that some of them have dividers to create rooms. For example, you have this feature in the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 6 and also in the Marmot Limestone 8 Tent.
• The lightest option is the Eureka Midori 6 tent. This is also one of the most affordable and the most packable options.

So good luck in searching for your full fly tent. Please use the comment box below if you would want to add something or if you have some questions. I wish you a nice day.
