Overview
Family campsites, festival grounds and backyard sleepouts are what the Kelty Rumpus is made for. A freestanding dome on color coded fiberglass poles sets up quickly, and its oversized vestibule turns into a covered awning for chairs, bikes and gear.
Covered outdoor space nearly as large as the sleeping area makes camp living easier in rain or sun. It has a single door on this size, and the fiberglass poles are heavier and less stiff than aluminum.
Who it's for
Car campers with kids, dogs or bikes get sleeping room plus a covered porch. Hikers carrying their shelter far should look at a lighter backpacking tent.
Pros and cons
- Huge vestibule doubles as awning
- Freestanding and easy to move
- Color coded quick setup
- Four internal pockets
- Single door on this size
- Fiberglass poles flex more
- Too heavy for backpacking
Performance notes
Weather protection depends on the polyester fly and floor coating, and the vented fly helps reduce condensation. Fiberglass poles bend more in strong wind, so the pre-attached guylines matter. The vestibule awning adds shade but catches wind when open.
