TOMOUNT Canvas Tent with Stove Jack Bell Tent Yurt 16.4ft*High10.33ft Glamping with TPU Transparent Roof 6-8 Person for Family Camping (Canvas Tent with rainfly)

【Durable and high-quality material】The canvas tent is made of moisture permeable TC material (65% polyester and 35% cotton blend), which has excellent moisture permeability and flame retardancy, and reduces condensation in the canvas tent. Equipped with a zippered removable groundsheet, the bell tent groundsheet is made of thick PVC with a waterproof index of over 20,000 mm.The skylight is made of TPU, which is resistant to water, abrasion and tearing. 【Spacious Capacity】The diameter of this canvas tent is 16.4feet and the top height is about 10.33feet.The side walls (supported by 12 poles) are 63inch high, which is much higher than the walls of the ordinary bell tent (22.8inch). And the bottom of this tent is nearly circular, so there will be more space available. Suitable for people who want to place a lot of equipment, such as tent stove, chairs, tables and beds. Ideal for backyard parties, family camping, weekend breaks and festivals. 【Transparent Roof】The top is made of TPU, which is better than PVC in all aspects. You can enjoy the blue sky and starry sky with it. Of course, if you don't want to sunbathe, you can always pull the inside shade closed (see picture). It is fireproof and can be used with a wood stove inside the tent to keep you warm and cozy during the fall and winter months. The tent has large round mesh windows on all four sides, which promote air circulation

Nice and shady grounds. No grass for tents. Mostly dirt and rocks. Some pads have some sort of gravel. Water is available as well as full bathroom facilities. Quiet at night. Firepits and tables at each pad. Hosts were very friendly. High elevation so it cools nicely at night.

First time camping there. The experience was amazing. The peacefulness of getting out of the city was much needed. The interaction with the 2 wild horses was Top Billing. Got the brown one to eat cookies from my hand( hope it was ok). Then the Pinto wanted in on the action. Brown one made it clear the cookies belonged to him only. He followed me to the barbeque pit and kept nudging for more cookies. Saddly there weren't any left after having had to feed the sqinnies that kept shiwing up. Campgrounds were amazing. Very clean. Park rangers were there and e3aved when present. But let us have our time. Recommend it to all. Very clean and beautiful
