Kelty Grand Mesa Backpacking Tent: Perfect for Outdoor Adventures

Amazon Customer: This tent is perfect for hiking and camping. Super easy to put up and take down, I camped in 30 degree weather and stayed warm, also endured a long night of rain and wind and thunderstorms and I stayed warm and toasty and most importantly dry!

Lucas YoungLucas Young: This tent was easy to setup, excellent ventilation features, and seems larger than expected. It is reasonable weight for a family backpack trip if carried by one person and if you wanted to you could split the weight easy with how compact the package is.

J. Woody: This tent came highly recommended for motorcycle camping due to the small size it can easily pack down to, and the fact it includes a vestibule option. After purchasing and setting up, I can see why this tent is recommended.

Set up is quick and straightforward. First time I've set up a tent in about 8 years and I had the whole thing (including rain fly) done in 15 minutes working in my garage. Second time I had it down to about 7 minutes, this time including staking out the vestibule. Assembled the tent is still lightweight enough to pick up and adjust if needed.

The only challenge I ran into is the final assembled size. I'm 6' tall, and I've got a couple back issues so I opted to purchase a cot rather than a ground pad for sleeping. When the cot is in the tent, the curvature is just enough that I can't lay completely flat with the flap zipped without my toes or head against the tent material. Sleeping with a slight bend in my knees easily rectified this, but it's something to be mindful of.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this tent, and I look forward to using it on a number of trips for years to come.

Marissa P.: Full disclosure, I’ve only gotten to take this rent out once, but I absolutely love it. For reference, When I go backpacking with friends, I let them use my 1 person tent since it’s weighs less and I always end up taking my north face storm brake 2 which weighs a ton. That’s a great tent but three “issues” with it:

1- It’s a heavy tent (almost 6 pounds with ground tarp)
2- it has a double vestibule which I HATE dealing with after a day of backpacking.
3- It also has 6 poles in total.

So in an effort to try and replace that tent on backpacking trips, I bought this tent! It’s lighter, it’s only 2 poles, the set up is fool proof, and overall roomy.
