Gear Guide’s teepee tents split the difference between more sturdy, full canvas basecamp tents and the lighter family style options detailed in this guide. It’s light and compact enough to carry with you awhile without sacrificing the built in floor nor the intensive weatherproofing measures.
The Gear Guide Teepee is an easy choice for dedicated car campers and overland adventurers who prefer a more spacious shelter over an RTT.

The way the floor is built can allow water to pool into the tent if it is set up in a low point
