Marmot Limestone Camping Tent

I needed a "bigger" tent to accommodate my growing family. This was the winner based on the mostly positive reviews. A former description of the item in amazon -around the time I bought the tent- stated that the 4P version of this tent had 2 doors, in reality, it just have one door in the front -the misleading description has been corrected since then-.The tent is well built, sturdy. Space: after have hiked and climbed in numerous expeditions in the Andes and in Western USA, I think I have the experience to tell you that the tent is very spacious. It was hilarious to me reading a review complaining that the space is not enough for 2 adults and a dog -sorry, For the "dog people" out there, but I would never share my sleeping space (not to mention a tent) with a dog. Of course, if you pretend to go camping like Tom Haverford in "Parks and rec", taking with you an arcade, flat screen TV and other luxuries inside this tent... sure, there is no space but for only one person. If you pretend to fit 2 king size inflatable mattress inside this tent... sure, no space. To me, sleeping in a tent involves only your mattress and your sleeping bag. You're lucky if you can keep your backpack inside your tent -usually it gets stored in the vestibule and by the way this tent has a big vestibule, too. I still think that the feeling is like being inside a Cathedral and that even 4 regular built guys would be comfortable sleeping in this tent.Though the tent is advertised for "hiking" it is probably going to be a little on the heavy side, however, if you divide the weight between 4 guys it's probably going to be OK -hint, 1 guy carries the body of the tent, 1 guy the fly, 1 guy the poles and 1 guy the stakes, and just hope that everybody reaches campsite by nightfall...I really appreciate Marmot's customer service. I did have a minor incident with the aluminum poles -this "incident" involving my 2 year-old son bending the poles, which technically might not be considered "manufacture defect"- I called Marmot customer service line to explain over the phone that I just wanted to buy the parts from them, since I could repair the problem myself -done it several times with other tents-, but the person over the phone instructed me to fill a guarantee claim and that's what I did. I received a set of -I presume new- poles in the mail.In summary, great tent.

Pros:-Roomy enough for 2 adults and 3 small children.-Cool enough with lots of mesh for camping in the hot Utah desert.- Full fly keeps the rain off.Cons:- Strong winds bent the poles.- Lots of mesh is cool and lite but wind storms in the desert will fill the tent with sand.

We purchased Marmot Limestone 6-Person tent for a week of camping in Utah and Colorado. The tent was comfortable for two people and a dog, with plenty of room to store gear. This tent has two doors and a vestibule, as well as being tall enough for us to stand. It survived rain and wind with ease--the tent remained pitched and we were completely dry. I highly recommend this tent with the following caveat:*The tent sold on Amazon is an older version (ours is a 2017 model).*The tent poles in this model will bend. It looks like this was solved in a newer model, which has pre-bends in the poles.*Pitching the tent is a bit of a struggle and is easier with two people. This must be done carefully, as this is where the poles will bend. Again, this looks like it was solved in the newer model.*The vestibule mat that came with the tent is okay. We bought a beach mat which is thicker and holds up better.*The stuff bag is really difficult to fit the tent and rain fly. We ended up buying a duffle bag to store the tent, fly and poles.Overall, we are really happy with this tent. The fact that it held up in a heavy rain and wind storm makes this tent worthwhile.This review is for the Marmot Limestone 6-Person Camping Tent (2017 Model)

Really wanted to like the limestone 4p. Like the dimensions, setup is easy, rain fly is stout. Primary issue is with the aluminum poles becoming increasingly bent the longer we’ve had this tent. Have had it for just over 2 years now and it’s been on 6-7 camping trips. Poles started out straight and with normal use they are becoming more bent, particularly the pieces near the stress points. It’s now to the point that the tent is misshapen when erected. We’re very experienced with tents and camping so it has not been a user error problem. For $400+ price, this should not happen. Fiberglass poles would have been better over time than the quality of these aluminum poles. I would not buy this again.

I literally opened the Amazon box and took the tent outside as set it up (solo) within 15 minutes of receiving the package. The stuff sack was smaller than I anticipated and am thankful for that. The four pole design made for intuitive and easy set up. The tent is roomy and tall inside with two vents through the rainfly (four would be nicer). There is only one door, as pointed out in other reviews, which is wide with ample room to get in and out of the tent. The entry tarp for the front of the tent's vestibule appears very durable and a nice feature. The vestibule itself, if rainfly door is opened, is exposed rain, so must be kept closed to keep the vestibule dry. This seems unfortunate as I will be using in Florida and on hot humid days and nights I would like to leave the front open for maximum ventilation and the vestibule will not offer much protection cover if a light rain passes overhead (Obviously in heavy rain forecasts, I would close the vestibule). I did purchase the footprint (direct from Marmot) and am looking forward to receiving that to complete the set. I am looking forward to my upcoming trip and using this tent.

Acaba de llegar y fue muy fácil de armar, los materiales se ven y se sienten de excelente calidad. Elegí esta casa porque todos los reviews que vi en distintas páginas decían que es excelente y super segura con el viento y el agua. Es muy amplia, los lados son muy verticales. Tiene 4 bolsas en el interior para guardar objetos personales, un gancho al centro para poner una lámpara y 4 argollas ideales para poner una red y aprovechar ese espacio superior para almacenar más cosas. Hay una confusión sobre qué modelo es, esta sólo tiene una puerta y tiene el toldo en color naranja con gris, tengo entendido que es un modelo viejo, y obviamente por eso tiene tan buen precio, pero vale mucho la pena. Llevaba 15 años con una Coleman, que en general salió buena, pero en la última salida llovió y se inundó, por eso decidí buscar algo más nuevo y de mejor calidad.Actualización: tuvimos lluvia fuerte en un campamento y nos mantuvo perfectamente secos.

We ordered late yet got the delivery aq day earlier than the promise. The tent is easy to set up. It is very rugged and stayed up during a heavy thunderstorm. On the campsite it rained for 2 days. Everyone around us was complaining about being wet and all their stuff was wet. We were dry. I think the footprint had a lot to do with keeping the tent floor dry and the fly needs to be set up according to the instructions. Do this and you will stay dry and warm yet with adequate ventilation.After 60 years of camping I have nothing bad to say about this tent.

I really like this tent. It was super easy for me to set up by myself, although it did not come with instructions; I had previously watched a video online about setting it up. There is lots of room and I can nearly stand up straight in it. It would sleep three people with their belongings nicely. The floor space would sleep four but there would be no room for anything else. There is only one doorway so getting in and out with several people in the tent would mean climbing over someone. I did not rate the warmth because i have only done summer camping and can't say what it would be like in colder temperatures. Overall, I am very pleased with this tent.

Es una casa de campaña muy padre en sus colores, material de calidad, y fácil de armar con su guía de colores. Bastante amplia, si acaso lo único que le faltaría para que fuera perfecta es que tuviera dos puertas.

High quality, easy set up, easy take down, first night using it was in torrential rains in Ontario late September 2021, Very well-made product, stayed very dry!
