Gearhead: REI's 3-season Kingdom 6 tent
Thinking about car-camping with the kids this summer? REI's 3-season Kingdom 6 tent will not only keep the family snug and secure, but also offers a bit of privacy, thanks to a center-divide wall that zips into place to create two rooms. With the center wall unzipped, there's a whopping 83.3 square feet of rectangular floor space, and the pole design's high vertical walls minimize stooping.
The interior walls contain pockets to stow gear. Multiple ventilation options keep the air moving. On one end, the rainfly creates a mini-vestibule for shoes and other small items. The other end contains an awning and a zipper than attaches to an optional 61-square-foot “garage,” which expands storage space. Sleeps six comfortably, four luxuriously. $439, rei.com.
