【Spacious Large capacity】 The diameter of the bell tent is 16.4feet and the top height is about 9.18feet. The side walls (supported by 8 poles) are 55inch high, which is much higher than the walls of the ordinary bell tent (22.8inch). So there will be more space available for this tent.

It is ideal for music festivals, backyard parties, family camping, weekend breaks and festivals.. * 【Material】Tent roof is made of TC cotton canvas (65% polyester 35% cotton), which is very breathable and can reduce condensation. The fabric itself has good water-resistant performance and can withstand light to medium rain, but for better smelling and breathability, it doesn’t have PU coating, so it cannot be called waterproof, please don’t stay in the rain overnight.The tent walls are made of 210D Oxford cloth, detachable tent floor 600D oxford cloth, PU3000mm keeps you dry and comfortable.. 【How to Set up】】The eight corners of the tent can be set up by adjustable straps, pegs and side poles. It has eight doors and all have mesh windows, so it is very easy to get in and out. All seams are double stitched and all four corners are reinforced. The small straps above the windows are used to roll up the entire sidewalls (after unzipping the zipper at the bottom of the tent) so that you can turn the tent into a canopy look (as shown in the picture of the 2 ways to build).

We had a great stay at Winter Island Park. It was super close to a lot of the tourist sites of Salem and had all the campground amenities you would expect. The beach looked nice and grounds were well maintained. Looking forward to staying here again sometime!

Lovely spot! Very peaceful and relaxing place. Gates get locked in the evening, so it felt very safe. Access to "Waikiki Beach" nearby. Staff were super nice and helpful. Lots of picnic tables available for use. Great for families. Taking off a star for one sink in the women's bathroom not working, and only one mirror available (above the non-working sink). Had to wait in line to use the sink/mirror on occasion. Other than that, our stay was quite pleasant!

This is the cleanest most well taken care of campground I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at a lot in about 30 states. There is a pool, the tent sites have very nice grass covering them. The grass is mowed, there’s flowers and tons of other little details. Really clean bathrooms and actual stand up showers like some people might put in their homes. It was also very quiet. There is a pond, and it is right across from lake Champlain. Beautiful area. They sell ice and a few other camping necessities at very reasonable prices. There is not much in the area and the places that are aren’t open everyday. If you’re looking for a clean place to relax or a place to sleep on your road trip, this is definitely it! An added bonus…the Aloha is real!

Winter Island is an amazing campground! There is a charming little beach and walking path to view the lighthouse. The bathhouse is very clean and the management is top-notch! I accidentally left my small suitcase behind, and they mailed it to me living states away. I highly suggest camping here in Salem 😁

It's a great place to camp. It is located right on Salem Harbor. The park staff are wonderful & friendly. The public bathrooms and showers are kept very clean & have plenty of hot water.
