How do you fit 6 people in this tent? 10x10 is less than 2ft./person.

I suppose you could fit 6 people in the tent with sleepingbags and nothing else. In the real world that wouldn't be very comfortable. I'd say 3 people would fit comfortably with gear/ bags. I got it because it fits my girlfried and me and a queen sized air matress with lots of room on either side for bags etc.

10x10 is 100 square feet which means about 16.7 square feet per person. That's like 6ft x 2.8ft space. However, since it's a square, you'd have to get creative to get that maximum amount of space (not perfectly perpendicular/parallel). It would be pretty tight for six 6ft adults, though assuming some are shorter than 6' (women?) I don't see a problem fitting 6 people in to sleep. Now moving around the tent, that's another story...

I dont think 6 people would fit, 4 would if you also have bags and other things in the tent

Person ratings on tents are always horribly optimistic. They're basically how many people you can theoretically fit if they're all average sized and packed in like sardines. Yeah, you can fit 6 people in but they won't be moving around at all and will be packed edge to edge. Realistically 4 is probably the most you'd want in any "6 person" tent. I tend to just subtract 2 from any published capacity on a tent automatically.

We had three plus an 80lb dog, which was no problem. 4 would be comfortable six would be tight

my daughter and her husband and their 2 children and their sleeping bags did fit in there comfortably. they also had some toys for the kids. so maybe without all the extras they had you could maybe fit 6 people in there just to sleep. they love this tent.

I've been using this tent for about a year. The other person was right that tent ratings are always optimistic. Realistically, I consider it a 4 person tent.

No way. It barely fit a single; and although it lists a three as a three man tent, It only can fit one person comfortably.

The fourth picture down is more accurate. The tent would be suitable for two thin people about 5'5" tall.

I would go with the 6 person for 4 people. Its comfortable for 2 people, it would be a stretch stuffing 2 full size adults and 2 kids in there.

The tent has plenty of space, however I returned it. The setup on this tent is very difficult for even two people.

I had five 6-foot banquet type tables, plus 4 or 5 more card tables. You just have to work with the tables and move them around a bit to place them under the tent in the most efficient way. It comfortably seated approximately 45 people, and could have seated at least 10 more.

We comfortably fit 5 in the tent and we could have easily added another. I wouldn't go past 6 unless the campers are small with small bags.

You can fit 4 people; however, there is not much room left, specially if you are talking about adults.

I'm a bad one to ask since I still sleep on the ground like I'm in my backpacking tents. That said, in the 10 x 10, I would say just 2. There's plenty of room for a cot on either side of the center pole without blocking access to the doors. The center pole is in the way of a 3rd cot in the center. IF you aren't concerned about being crowded, I suppose you could block the doors and put in more than two, but with gear and a desire to not climb over a cot get out, I would limit things to 3.

I would say 6. You need to make sure that all four corners are down as well as the two side poles. I rarely ever stake the front and the back unless it's really bad weather. Then I use them all to add some extra rigidity to the tent. But I would think 6 would the minimum necessary. Hope that helps.

If you are planning on just using sleeping bags on the floor then yes, you could fit 6 persons in the tent. If you are going to use 2 queen size air mattresses then it will comfortably sleep four.

I would not pack it if I were solo. Would be pretty easy for a few people. It would probably pack down enough into a smaller tent bag if you made a separate bag for the poles. That would also be a good way to split the load. It would sleep 4 people nicely and 5 snugly.

This isn't the roomiest tent. You can't stand up in it and I could only fit two sleeping mats or cots in it side by side. Three people would be a joke. The shape means there isn't a lot of head room on the ends. That said, you don't buy this tent for its spaciousness. It's a rugged, practical, nearly weatherproof tent that will stand up (pun intended) to a lot more than the tall, flimsy ones with a ton of room. Think about what kind of camping you do and camper you are. If you're going to rough it a lot, this one is great. If you're the once-a-year car camper with the family, then I'd advise looking for something else. This isn't the roomiest tent.

If you only have people, you might be able to get 6 in it. If you have clothing and sleep items, I would only plan on 4. If you have small children, maybe 6 would fit.

I would recommend the 6 person tent because you will be much more comfortable. I used the 4 person tent on my last camping trip but all three of us were petite women under 5'5''. We had a little room for backpacks at the foot of our sleeping bags, but otherwise it was a pretty snug fit.

I have a queen sized double stack Coleman air mattress and it fits in with ease. Plus room to move around the bed and stand up fully,though I'm only 5'3", there's enough room for a 6ft person to also get around with ease. Lanterns can be placed on the floor or there's a small hook on the top for mini lanterns. Nothing too heavy though. There's like 2 extra feet of room on each side of the air mattress. I also use fans at festivals... In a normal tent you die in the heat, but with the rain flap off and a small fan the tent stays cool because of all the mesh and a good breeze. You won't regret buying this tent. I've used it more than I can count since I bought it last year it's roomy and tough, holds up in terrential winds and rain even half-assed steaked down.

We put 3 in line, and we have lot of space around. Probably you could fit another line of 3 parallel of the first line; that mean 6 tables under the tent; but if you want space to move, 4 fit easily and good.
