Why We Built The Madrone 4 Tent
We styled the Madrone 4 Tent with family camping trips in mind. With an intuitive setup, reliable weather protection, and durable materials, this spacious tent provides a great option for car camping with kids. A mesh ceiling lets the whole family stargaze if the weather is clear, and you can turn the floor into an instant comfort zone by adding two Stoic Camp Cloud Double Beds (sold separately).

Great tent!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
It's a great tent! It goes up and comes down very easy and fast. Perfect for dogs because the mesh does not go all the way down and therefore eliminates the possibility of the mesh being scratched/ripped. Only suggestion is for the stakes to be a little stronger, but that's minor. Love it!

Missing Parts
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
The tent was fine, but the rain fly only had 3 corner buckles, with a giant loop at the fourth corner, so it is not possible to anchor the rain fly to the framework. Returned defective item.

Children's Play Tent
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Go with a quality brand if you actually want to go camping. This is a fair weather children's play tent for the backyard. If you need to camp in foul weather make sure you seam seal it first and pray. You get what you pay for.

Almost perfect
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
We used the tent for the first time this weekend. We got rain in the middle of the night and it held very well. No leaks. Very easy to pitch by one person. I give it 4 stars because the stakes are aluminum and very bad quality. They bend unless you are pitching the tent on a patch of grass

Great spacious tent for the price
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I bought this tent on sale as a great car camping tent for me and my dog (and often a friend and their dog). Very spacious, easy to assemble with one person camped in it in snow and summer conditions. I did recently have my fly punctured when the wind carried my tent away but besides that, it's been good to me especially considering the price.

Amazing waterproofing
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
During a trip with this tent, our campsite flooded during a storm… we had 3-4 inches of standing water around our tent. The bottom turned into a waterbed as the water flowed underneath our tent. However there was not a single DROP of water inside our tent. We stayed completely dry even though we were sitting in water for almost an hour! I was completely blown away. For the price, this tent is incredibly high quality.

I really like this tent but...
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have multiple tents that range from Big Agness, Eurika, Six Moon, Coleman, Rural King, and the Stoic. I've had the Stoic Madrone 4, four years now and it has always performed well for me. Unfortunately, one of the tent poles split the last time I was out, and Back Country does not carry replacements poles. My only option is to use a tent pole splint or replace the tent.

Bought this to camp in the backyard with my 3 yr old grandkids. So far so good. Even when we got stuck in the rain. Kept us dry with the fly. Plenty of room to even add the dog

Beat the Heat in This Inflation Beater!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Have experience with the two- and four-person versions of this tent. Simply put, these Madrones offer excellent price-to-performance value. The most important seams come sealed. The rainfly appears to have some amount of waterproofing and includes a pair of adjustable vents. Setup is quick and intuitive. The tent's upper third is entirely mesh. Side pockets are abundant. There's even a gear loft. This is NOT an ultra-lightweight backpacking tent made with state-of-the-art materials and top-of-the-line stitching, but such a tent would easily cost 10 to 15 times this. With all the inflation we've seen over the past couple of years, a dollar doesn't seem to stretch as far, but this tent beats that trend.

A few design issues
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It's cheap and big and easy to put up. It also has top vents in the rainfly. The seams are taped. Those are all great. On the other hand, the beefy looking stakes easily bend, the vestibule/rainfly design will allow rain to directly enter the tent if you open the flap, and the fly is honestly poorly designed overall. It's never fully taut, and hangs against the non-entry sides unless you install a guy line at the bottom. The floor is lightweight and based on other reviews rain can wick through. It doesn't come with a footprint. Overall, a few design issues and one material issue keep it from being a strong recommendation. It'll do the job but you might get wet if you're not careful.
