Kelty Green River 4

Hiking & Camping > Shelters & TentsRated: **** by 7 reviews.

Altrec

Great for family camping and fishing trips, Kelty's Green River 4 tent offers plenty of room in a freestanding design with extra space in a roomy vestibule. If your family and friends tend to tote extra gear, the Green River has the additional space that you need to keep it all covered and out of the rain--we're talking about a little over half the living space you'll find beyond the noiseless zipper pulls leading inside the tent. The layout inside the tent is squared off with Kelty's ArcEdge floor and taped seams. The mesh ceiling panels offer excellent ventilation, but not to the same degree as the Gunnison and Trail Dome tents, although the extra fabric coverage still doesn't make the Green River 4 a four season tent, it is probably better suited for the more extreme sides of three season camping. Internal side pockets give occupants plenty of places to stow small essentials while keeping the main floor area clear of everything except sleeping bags. Keep in mind that the Green River 4 only has a single (but very large) door. This is a critical consideration for campers who need access to the outdoors in the middle of the night and early morning anglers who don't want to disturb sleeping companions.

Great Roomy tent, easy to set up and plenty of room

Rating:*****
This is my first 4 person "car camping" tent. Having only owned small lightweight backpacking tents I have pretty high standards. But our circle of camping friends now include families and larger group camping. My girlfriend and I decided on a large roomy tent that will accommodate an air mattress and our gear. The Large vestibule is amazing, room enough for two chairs, our cooler, and space to keep shoes out of the tent but out of the rain. at 6ft tall the tent is tall enough for us to stand and be organized. rain fly is very effective and includes plenty of stakes and guy lines for cinching it down in weather. I agree with the previous poster, it's a perfect two person "car camping" tent, it would be tight with 4 people and gear. Overall I love it and recommend it all day

Kelty Green River 4 Tent

Rating:*****
I initially bought the six-man tent, but it was way too big. The four-man fits me, my girlfriend, and our two labs with room to spare. The screen house is the best part. I bought a piece of turf for the bottom, and now we stay inside without the bugs and mud. The only problem I've had is that the screen vestibule windows do not zip closed, they just tie on the bottom so a little rain came in (only in the screen part) when the wind kicked up. Definitely not a big deal when compared with the overall tent. I love this tent, and definitely recommend it to all campers.

Kelty Green 6 person tent

Rating:*****

It is huge. Easy to set up, plenty of room for queen mattress and all kinds of gear. Wish the screen vestibule windows would zip shut, as well as the front door to the tent. It is just screen and would be nice to have the ability to zip that shut for the cooler (windy nights). Great tent. nicknamed the Condo, because of it's size.

Easy to set-up, great ventilation, good in rain and wind

Rating:****
Great tent for sun, rain, or wind. Offers nice ventilaton in rain without risk of entering the main quarters. Breathes alot better than most tents. More of a 2-3 person tent however if you have gear.

Love/Hate

Rating:**

I got this tent for Christmas last year and was initially really psyched. It's got tons of room inside even with three people, two of them over 6 feet, and all our gear for 18 days of camping and climbing. It's tall enough to stand in (probably a 6'4"-ish ceiling) and easy to set up. Then the wind kicked in. In one night of 30-35 mph winds, the tent went from flapping too loudly to sleep in to buckling all the way to the floor. In that night, the 4 poles broke in a total of 7 places. In addition, the waterproof flaps in the vestibule are inside the screen part, so they just catch water and funnel it on to your gear. It may be a 3-season tent in your backyard in San Diego, but not for real camping.
