The Yellowstone 4 is the cost-effective way to get back to nature. This freestanding dome design appeals to all types of campers with its easy set up and affordable price.
The Kelty Yellowstone 4 is an easy to set-up economical 3-season tent for your family that's built to last. While setting up this free-standing tent isn't quite as simple as flipping a switch, the pole clips are nearly as quick when attaching them to the two Fiberglass poles. The design is roomy, creating a comfortable living space to stretch out in after a long day of hiking. The mesh ceiling works with the side vents to provide stellar ventilation. Taped seams and a bathtub floor mean you'll stay dry even if your campsite is doing a convincing lake impression.

Campers will appreciate this affordable, easy-to-pitch design.
The Kelty(r) Yellowstone tent for 4 boasts an easy-to-pitch design with an ArcEdge construction and and a side-release buckle tent-fly connection. It has sidewall vents and mesh ceiling for comfortable air flow and internal pockets for storing your essentials.

Good tent. Very easy set up. A little warm though. | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Overall it is a good tent. I set it up with minimal help from a friend and it took all of 8 mintues from start to finish. The stakes are a little wimpy and will bend if you try to force them in rocky soil. The color coding of the straps makes putting the rain fly on correctly very easy the first time around. It rained pretty heavily the first night I had it up and I stayed nice and dry. I did get some water between the bottom and the tarp I put down which ended up soaking through the floor eventually, but that was my fault for not getting it out of there when I had the chance. I would bet that if I had used the footprint instead of a tarp, it wouldn't have been an issue. The only thing I don't like about it is that with the rainfly on it, it holds too much heat in. The window in the back and in the door are not big enough to get good ventilation. On the last day, when the sun finally came out and I was able to take the rain fly off, it cooled down quite a bit. All-in-all a good tent. I would recommend one to anyone looking for a small tent for car camping. | |

Not just for humans. | |

My wife and my two dogs (kids) took the Yellowstone 4 out to the middle of Utah's West desert, where it's really dusty and our dogs get them self's extremely dirty. In our old tent there was almost no room for the dogs to sleep, with out you getting super dirty as well. But not with the Kelty Yellowstone 4 Tent 4-Person, there is plenty of room in there for both my wife, our two dogs and I, with out getting our sleeping bags super dirty from the dogs sleeping right next to us. It's like the dogs have their own room, instead of being cramped in a small tent, they are now able to sprawl out. Super Easy to "pitch" and has a ton of head room. If your interested in buying this tent, I'd recommend the foot print (SKU= KEL0291) So in short, great tent for you and your dogs, or I guess if you have kids this will also be a great tent. Maybe they should consider changing the name to "Yellowstone 4 Tent 2-Person 2 dogs" But just keep in mind, it's not just for humans, anymore. | |

I bought this tent for a trip to Seneca Rocks for a week of climbing. The first couple nights got fairly cold, mid-40s, the next few days was rain, and the last night it got down to 37. Nearly everyday was very windy as well, but this tent served its purpose and did much more than I expected. It was very comfortable, very dry, and kept heat well or vented well for the nice weather. This tent would sleep 2 very comfortably with gear/cooler/blow up chairs/whatever. If 3 people needed shelter, it wouldn't be bad then either, but 4 people is quite a stretch. | |

A very good tent for the price | |

A great tent! Set up is easy and takes about 5 minutes and taking it down is just as easy. It did rain on us so we found out that the tent is very water proof. Water never touched us. Ventilation is great. Its a 3-season tent but its not ideal for late fall when the temperature dips. Finally, a minor set back, it takes a bit of time to get used to the zipper as it does get caught on the taped seams. But once you get the technique down, you're fine. Overall, a great tent. | |

good tent for a family outing | |

I bought the Kelty Yellowstone and enjoyed it. It is not a $400 North Face tent by any means...but it is alot better than what you will find at Walmart or something like that. I stayed in it with my wife and 100 pound dog and we had plenty of room. We even blew up a full size mattress inside and there was still plenty of room on the sides for gear and our dog. Overall...good tent. | |

Yellowstone 4 man tent | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
This was our first camping trip ever. My son (14) and I spent two nights in the Yellowstone Tent. We arrived at the campsite at dusk so we were very impressed when the tent setup turned out to be very quick and easy. We did not have as much luck with cooking over a campfire but at least we slept comfortably. | |

The tent was fine. The instructions need a lot of work. I'm new to dome tents and rainflies. There was no mention of how or why or where to use the guyout lines. | |

Very easy to put up. Keep us dry in the rain. We did get a bit wet through the floor. Recommend buying a floor pad. You get what you paid for with this product!!! I think this baby will last a few seasons! | |

This is a great tent! Its cheap, it goes up VERY quickly and easily, and is surprisingly very roomy with a lot of head room. Im personally extremely pleased by its quality, especially when you consider how cheap it is! | |

I used it for the 1st time last weekend. It was one of the hottest weekends we had with humidity to match! The zipper got stuck, took us over 30 minutes to get it unstuck, but it got stuck in the covering over the zipper and ended up ripping a hole in the covering. I settled for that over not having the zipper work. This happened about 4 hours into use. | |

Problem Poles | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
The tent was very easy to set up and comfortable to stay in. However, after less than a month of use, the cords in the poles started to break. Kelty sent us used replacement poles that were in worse shape than ours were. If Kelty works out the problems with the poles, it could be a good tent but it's not now. | |
