Wenzel Mackinac Family Dome Tent (Green/Khaki)

Nothing spoils a good family camping trip like a lousy tent. Fortunately, the Wenzel Mackinac family dome tent puts those frustrations to rest. The Mackinac sleeps seven comfortably in its 130 square feet of interior space, with a high cube design that lets campers stand up straight while inside the tent. In addition, the tent includes an attached screen room that keeps bugs out and lets breezes in. The screened room functions as a sun shelter on bright days, a picnic room when mosquitoes are nearby, or a nap room during lazy afternoons. You can also zip up the walls of the screen room to create a secondary sleeping area. And campers will love the tent’s full mesh roof option, which delivers plenty of ventilation throughout the evening, and the double-staked Power Corners, which increase the tent’s stability in high winds. Other features include a round flex floor, three mesh windows, a round flex-style door, and a shock-corded fiberglass frame.

Customer reviews for Wenzel Mackinac Family Dome Tent (Green/Khaki) :

“I will state right up front, that I am not a hard core camper. I do not backpack 10,000 miles into the wilderness in the middle of the winter and spend weeks trapping gophers and distilling melted ice to survive. That said, I do go on a lot of weekend and 3 day camping trips in the spring, summer, and fall, and so far, this tent has been the best tent I’ve owned for that purpose.

I only have 2 gripes and they are minor. First, I’m not a big fan of the way the front diagonal poles are stabilized. All the rest of the poles, pegs, and fasteners on this tent are rock solid stable, but for some reason the 2 poles that hold up the front are just resting on the ground with no other support. It seems to me that this makes the front of the tent more unstable than the back, and COULD (never happened to me though) fall in high winds. Second, I think any tent this big really needs a cargo door on the back or sides. Personally, I dont use this tent as a “2 bedroom” tent, we use the back to sleep and the front to store gear. But if you did use it as a 2 bdrm, you would have to step over the people in the front to get out.

This tent has a lot of good features that I look for in a tent. It has plenty of air flow because of the multitude of windows, but in the event things get cold, ALL windows can be zipped up, and it will warm up quickly. The rain guard is relatively easy to get on in a hurry if the rain comes. Its bigger than it looks inside. You could easily get 2 full size air mattresses in the back room alone. I absolutely love the screened in front. You really get that feel that this tent has a screened in porch (but even better, because you can zip all the windows closed at night). Its very homey feeling. Lastly, and I know this doesn’t matter to most people, but this tent just looks cool. I love the naturey green colour (as opposed to bright red and blue like most tents) and it just looks like a nice sturdy, comfy tent.

Be warned, that it takes 2 to set this sucker up, and its pretty darn heavy. But Ive never seen a tent this big that doesn’t have the same drawbacks. One thing that threw me when I first used it, is it has a mix of metal and fiber poles. But in the end, even though the metal poles are heavy and cumbersome, they add a lot of stability to this very large tent.”
