Cedar Ridge Backpacking-Tents cedar ridge Rimrock Tent

Completely misleading from the picture for the “6” person tent! Picture shows the two room style! Yes I should have drilled down more however I feel this is very much misrepresentation of what your are purchasing. We have NO choice but to use it as we are leaving for our trip in 3 days!

I purchased this tent as replacement for the original Coleman Max 9 by 13, 2 door non instant tent. Positives: I like having a door in the front and one on the back, it makes it easier to go from our shower tent into our main tent without having to display ourselves to the entire campsite. Also, our boys can sneak out that back door for late night "lilly watering." The windows and high ceiling are a most for camping in South Florida 90 degree heat and a zillion percent humidity. It's the rainy season now and in spite of water droplets that clean your entire weeks laundry with just 3 to 4 droplets, we stayed dry. My teenage boys and husband are rather large and messy so the space is much appreciated. Negatives: It's huge and heavy, definitely not for walking and hiking, but if you can drive to your campsite and pull it right our of your car it will be perfect. I can put it up and pack it up by myself, but definitely much easier and faster with a least a second person. The room divider is sewn in, so it can't be removed. Unfortunately only Coleman makes those D-doors that are rigid and can be opened and closed without the zipper, but we adjusted. It only has guide lines from the liner and not the tent itself, which may be a challenged if we hit one of those "no named Florida storms" we'll have to see. Recommendation: Yes, if you have a family or just enjoy a lot of room to stand up and walk around, then definitely this is it. I always seal all of our tents, this one I used before I seamed sealed it. Worked fine. P.S. If you don't have the time to seal a tent or if your old one starts to leak you can always through a tarp over it and bungee cord it. That works too. Hope this helps.

Good tent for one person car camping/campground use. Would be a little on the heavy side for backpacking. Fiberglass poles make up the support system. The tent is easy to set up and has one door and a window on the opposite side. Mesh is on the top and either end of the tent for more ventilation. The tent fly is cut to create a type of awning over the door and window. It's designed to keep rain out but still allow ventilation however, it doesn't extend out far enough to stop rain from coming in through an opened window or door. A brief rain shower passed through the area when I was camping and I had to zip the door and window closed to keep the rain from coming in, but, the mesh ceiling and sides were unaffected because the fly covered it adequately. There are guy out points on either end of the fly to keep the fly from touching the tent body which helps with the ventilation. The bathtub style PE floor does the job at keeping water out. The ceiling height was very high compared to my dedicated backpacking tents. My backpacking tents generally have a 36" or 41" ceiling height. The height of the Rimrock was 48" making it feel very roomy for a two person tent. I didn't have issues with my feet touching the tent and I'm 6' tall. There is an included gear loft as well. The zippers aren't YKK but they seem to work well enough.

as long as you're not using it in adverse weather conditions, its large spacious and easy enough to set up.

I really wanted this tent to work, but on our initial camping trip, one of the nylon pieces that the plastic elbows are tied to pulled out of the tent. Luckily we had a needle and thread and were able to temporarily fix, but it made me suspect of the entire QC on this tent. Also, in the "tub" portion of the base, you could see holes from the stitching at a few of the attachment points...I guess one could use seam sealer for the entire base around these points, but I am glad that I didn't have to test how waterproof the tent would be. If not for that, I would have give 4 stars as it was a great spacious design.

With any wind at all this tent fails miserably.. Hardware rings and straps that hold poles to the ground broke within 5 minutes and we followed the direction to the letter...CANNOT be used with any wind at all! Just a huge sail with wimpy hardware..Alps Mountaineering! What a joke...

My wife and I love to go camping. We're always looking for good deals on new gear and came across this tent. Even though we've only been camping a few years, we feel that we are familiar with most of the "big name" outdoor brands. I had never heard of Cedar Ridge before, but after some investigating, I found out that the tents are made by Alps Mountaineering, who I have heard of. I actually own an Alps Sleeping bag and love it. Knowing the quality gear Alps makes, I decided to take a chance on their Cedar Ridge gear too. We love how easy it is to set up this tent. We often head out to camp after work on Fridays and it can be pretty dark by the time we get to our camp site. We love that the tent goes up quick and without a lot of hassle, so we don't waste a bunch of time fighting our tent. It's the perfect size for the two of us. We haven't encountered any major rain storms, but the tent looks like it will hold up just fine. Glad we found such a nice tent in our price range!

Es una excelente casa de campaña mucha más calidad que una coleman

We had this 10 x 14 tent up every summer for a few weeks for the last 5 years. Only one set up per season. It was great and very spacious. But while taking down the tent this summer, the fly was ripped. It would be o, if we could buy another fly so we could keep using the tent. We contacted the company about purchasing a new fly, but they have never replied. A shame, because the tent is great, but useless without a new fly.

Huge tent for the price, quite sturdy as well. Easily fits a whole family with a lot of room to spare. Fairly easy to set up as well. It's quite bulky so it's not ideal for areas with high wind even though it can handle a lot. Might not fit in smaller camping spots, remember it's 10 x 14, and a bit more than 7 feet high! I like it very much!

One of the poles split after some wind

That's tent was spacious and we stayed dry in the rain. Great product for a great value
