Description
Great for camping with family or friends, the Wenzel Klondike measures 16-feet by 11-feet. The Klondike sleeps eight, five in its 98 square feet of interior space, with room for sleeping three more in the 60 square foot screen room with its zip up walls. 6.5 feet of head room lets you stand up straight while inside the tent. The attached screen room can also be used as sun shelter, a picnic room, a gear room or a room just to relax in. A full mesh roof and two mesh windows keep bugs out and let the breeze in. In addition a rear mesh vent creates ground breeze. Weather Armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane water resistant coating protects from top to bottom. Double-stitched, lap- felled seams through out the body of the tent provide a shingle effect against water. All threads, zippers and webbing are treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas. The Klondike has a fiberglass frame and uses Power Corners that increase the tent's stability in high winds. Included are two hanging pockets that create an area for items needing easy access, a storage duffel and a 10 year warranty against defects.

Should I Buy It?
If you're in need of a tent that balances space, durability, and weather resistance for family camping, this tent is a solid choice. While it does have some minor drawbacks, such as the floor design and the quality of stakes, the overall quality and functionality make it a worthwhile investment for serious campers. However, consider additional weatherproofing measures and stake upgrades for extreme conditions.
Our first use of this tent was for a week long stay at a Lake. It's just small enough for most standard size tent pads, but you'll most likely go outside your tent pad with the tie outs, unless it's a larger tent pad. Most people say there's a "ripple" on the side of their tents after staking, but I didn't have that issue. Once I got all points staked and tied nice n tight, everything stayed up nicely n looked great. Setup was easy for the most part, especially with more than one person. Between the winds off the lake daily, and the heavy storm in the middle of the week I was a bit worried about the durability but everything held up perfectly. Overall the interior has plenty of space for most small families, air mattresses included. There were three of us, 2 adults and 1 child(10yrs old), plus one medium sized dog(Foxhound). We had a Queen Size and a Twin Size Air Matress in the "Cabin" of the Tent, 2 to 3 larger size folding Camp Chairs, 1 smaller size folding Camp Chair, and a small area for the Dog, along with a couple Storage Totes in the "Porch" of the Tent. The floor of the Tent is a "Bathtub" style floor and is made of a Tarp-like material so it's both durable and keeps water out. The one thing I'm not completely satisfied with is the shape of the floorplan. It's not completely square in the Cabin and the Cabin is slightly larger than the Porch. Combining that with the fact the the majority of the tie downs are attached directly to the bottom of the Tent makes it so putting down a Tarp to make the floor more durable is kinda tricky. My best solution for this is to get 2 tarps sized almost exact to the 2 sections of the tent. Sorry for the long winded review but hopefully it helps.

Did not have time to setup/test-out prior to first camping trip. So first time took 30 mins with 2 ppl to setup in light drizzle. Did not come with instructions and although it's pretty obvious how it fits together, the optimal sequence isn't as obvious (I included the steps that worked for me in the bottom of review). Minutes after getting the tent up, we had a 1 hr downpour with 20 mph winds followed by light drizzle all night. The tent looked strong & steady with just a few minor leaks around zipper, but all the seams were dry. Water did pool over the porch room (as others have also said) and began slowly leaking in, but I believe that's because I didn't fully secure the tarp down properly (see step 16 below). Haven't experience rain after we properly secured the tarp, but the tarp did look much more taut. Overall, very happy with size, rain & wind protection. I liked that the circular room divider door completely protects the sleeping area from mesquites while coming in and out of the porch area all day and the dual zipper allows you to zip the bottom up so toddlers and pets can't escape and creepy crawlies can't crawl in to the sleeping area while allowing adults to easily step over for easy access to all rooms. It's also wide enough to fit an inflated queen size air mattress through. Rear sleeping compartment easily fits 2 queen size airbeds with about 1-1/2ft clearance at top and bottom of mattresses for your bags. Porch room is decent size for 2 chairs with room to put your feet up and still have an unobstructed center aisle to walk through. The included stakes are crappy and I'm convinced would of pulled-out during our first stormy night so buy some good ones (need 20). I got the 7" spikes with the green tie down heads - very secure in grass and not overly difficult to pull out (Harbor Freight sells a packet of 6 spikes for $3). These steps seem to work best for me: 1. Assemble poles. 2. Temporarily stake down 11'x16' ground tarp (sold separately - got mine at Harbor freight... good quality) 3. Unroll tent 4. Stake back 2 corners first, then back-middle. 5. Pull front taunt and center, then stake front 2 corners, then front-middle (i.e. entrance). 6. Now fold and tuck the ground cover tarp complete under the tent along the smaller front room section so rain doesn't collect under your tent (I may cut my tarp to size in the future). 7. Stake one side of the back room, then the other side. 8. Stake one side of the front room, then the other side. 9. Thread the 2 long thin poles through the back-room sleeves and secure the 2 poles together directly in their middles using a bowknot (the tricky part is keeping the bowknot directly in the middle of the thin poles when you mount them on the thick support poles). 10. Thread the shorter thin pole over the entrance. 11. Lay the thicker support poles near their mounting pin locations and mount the angled pole connector. 12. Have someone tall climb inside the tent and hold up the center where the 2 thin poles cross. 13. Quickly connect the 4 poles in the back room before installing the 2 poles in the front room. Install to top thin pole then tuck over the pin on the bottom. 14. Have someone help you pull the tarp over the tent. 15. Stake the guidelines in the back down first then the front, but keep them loose. 16. At each pole location, (a) hook the tarp in, (b) strap the Velcro around the pole and then (c) tie bowtie through the slotted opening on the black angled pole connector. Note, there's a Velcro strap over the center of the door (the first night, I was in a hurry to beat the rain and didn't see/do steps b & c and water pooled over the porch room and slowly soaked/dripped through). 17. Finally, evenly tighten the 5 guide wires. 18. Double check the stakes to ensure they didn't get pulled up.

After having read the other reviews, I decided to give this tent a try...I'm glad I did. Setup: Okay, for starters, if you've never set up a tent or if you've only ever set up little 2-person dome tents, putting together a family tent will be a little challenging. I've already had to deal with quite a few different brands and configurations of family tents, so I was prepared for what was in store. If you want/need instructions, they're on the back side of the big, white label that's sewn into the tent bag. Water Resistance: A tip for anyone buying any tent ever: Buy spray-on water repellent. I honestly couldn't tell you how well this tent kept rain out out-of-the-box, because I HAVE never and WILL never trust ANY tent in this respect. I can tell you that I thoroughly tested this tent wit a garden hose, from every angle, after I applied a good coat of water repellent and didn't get a drop of water in the tent. Honestly though, why would you go out into the wilderness with an unproven sheet of material as your only protection from the elements? Why not spend $5 and be SURE that you're protected? My tents get water-proofed once per year starting from the first time I set them up and I'm usually the guy who ends up loaning out the spare tent to people who's tents are leaking. Wind Resistance: I've had it up on a couple of windy days now without issue. At one point, I had removed the rain fly to enjoy the open, mesh roof. The wind started picking up and I started to get nervous (since the lashings connect to the rain fly and not the tent) but I decided to see what it could take. The wind hit it pretty hard for about 45 minutes before it (the wind) finally died down and the tent held fine, without so much as a stretched seem. Interior Space: I'm going to have to disagree with the reviews that state that this is a massive tent. What I will say, is that it's plenty big. The main room is large enough to fit a queen and full-sized air mattress, if needs be and we'd have no problem getting 4-5 kids sleeping bags into the front room (screen room.) Anyone over 5'5" has to duck coming through the screen room but the main room is high enough that my friend, who is 6'5" stood in the center with room to spare. Of course, that's give or take a few inches depending on how flat and level the ground is that you set it up on. Tips: When opening the windows: Unzip completely, then, starting from the end, roll the material towards the window with the roll on top. this way, it will tuck neatly into the area at the bottom of the window where the screen and the tent wall overlap. Round door to main room: When unzipped completely, this door folds up and fits into a large mesh pocket above the storage pocket on the right-hand side, next to the door opening (when you're standing in the main room facing out to the screen room.) When taking it down (and this works for every tent I've ever used): get all of the poles and stakes back into their appropriate bags. lay the pole bag (with poles inside) at the back of the tent (centered) and the tent bag at the front of the tent (centered.) Fold the sides of the tent in, so that it is no wider than the pole bag (a bit narrower than the tent bag.) Now, lay the pole bag on the end of the back of the tent and slowly roll it up, making sure to keep the roll the same width as the tent bag. Be sure to roll it tightly, squeezing out all of the air and smoothing out any lumps as you go. If done correctly, your tent will now fit in its bag with room to spare. Conclusion: This seems to be a pretty solid tent with more than enough room to be comfortable. Set up is as easy as it can be for something this size (and at this price point.) All-in-all, I'd happily buy this tent again and would recommend it to friends. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't have push-button setup and take-down (nothing's perfect.)

This tent is perfect for comfortable family camping. We bought this tent almost a year ago now and have used it over a dozen times in all seasons. For unexperienced campers, this is not a 4 season tent. The rain fly covers about an inch down the sides allowing any kind of rain with a slight amount of wind to blow inside (nothing a ridge line and large tarp didn't fix). Unboxing As soon as we received the tent we set it up at home to make sure all parts were included and in good shape. Rain fly had a small tear (easy fix with tent repair kit. Hit it with the hose after tent was up and it sheds and seals water great). The other issue was an elastic cord in one of the poles was broken. Never have fixed it, with little pressure on both ends while feeding through the tent and it stays in place just fine. Neither of this issues were worth sendin it back or complaining. After all it is camping, if you can't overcome a few small things like this, camping may not be for you. Set Up This tent does require two people if you don't want to struggle (I am sure some people will say it's just fine by yourself, could be but isn't fun). Stake the tent down first. Not just a suggestion, it is required if you want proper set up. My wife and I have this tent up in 10 minutes, once you understand where the poles go and how the tent is supported, it is very easy. Inside We fit a queen air mattress, portacrib, and large dog pillow for our boxer in main section along with clothing bag. Screened room has a floor which is very nice for rainy days. The windows however do not zip 360* they are open at the very top. Privacy is perfect but windy and rain could blow in. This room is big enough for a Coleman folding square table, 3 camping chairs ( two with folding tables up, few small tubs as well as the dogs food and water dishes during the day. Still plenty of room to walk around. We can use this tent still when we expand our family which is even better. Have not tested this tent in snow or anything below 50*F. This is for warm weather only and I recommend dry weather unless you can improvise. The couple problems we encountered are not going to cause us to give it a 4 star. This tent was exactly what we wanted and fulfills our needs. Has held up great all the times we have used this tent

This tent was pretty impressive. We didn't really know what we were getting, but we were super happy on our week-long camping trip. It goes up quick. Seems to be of high quality. The mosquito net sitting area is a blessing in evening and gives you a great place to have a nice wet room or dressing area in your tent so that you don't contaminate your sleeping area! One thing that was very confusing in the marketing materials. The sales listings the manual everything.... Was the question of if the mosquito net rooms walls zipped up to become solid and they do! We decided to just roll with it and find out and we're very happy to see that. Yes, you do have a privacy wall that you can zip up and not be exposed to the entire campsite! My only complaint with the tent is the cheap quality of the steaks. So if you buy this I would suggest getting higher quality steaks. They just really don't hold very well and if we rent a windy environment it would not have worked. They bend easily when you're pounding them so you know they're the the wire stakes. Enter our only other complaint was the circular door between the two rooms. It looks awesome. It seems awesome. It acts awesome, but a circular zipper doesn't really work as well as you might think it does give easy access with a wide opening, but we're afraid that it's not going to hold up over time because there's tons of stress when you unzip it, we shall see! The removable rain shroud is also a boon when you're trying to see the stars. We were able to sleep under the Milky Way and it was glorious! Thanks for the great tent and if you're looking for the best tent you can get for this price point I would suggest trying this one

I purchased the Wenzel Klondike 8 Person Tent for my summer tent out in the woods. Alas I had to wait about three weeks to get to camp and set it up. It did go up easily enough, glancing at the directions will help, a second set of hands helps too. I did swap out their feeble little stakes for my rebar ones. Keep their stakes, they work ok for getting mud off your boots. I set it up and tossed my gear inside, enough for one day, next day I spent the morning setting up the mess tent, enjoying a relaxing afternoon in the screen porch, recovering from my efforts, I am no spring chicken. Overnight a freak storm rolled in and I woke to an inch of snow and a caved in tent, four broken poles, all three fiberglass and one support pole useless. So I sent off an email to support, within a few days I had a reply saying I was out of luck, their limited warranty doesnāt cover weather related damage, but if I got the part numbers of the poles theyād see if they had them in stock to sell me. Notice in the photo how the instructions imply the tent can handle some extreme weather, just keep the vent clear of snow. Three weeks, three separate emails with the part numbers I need to make my tent useable again, nothing. No reply at all. There are no phone numbers, nothing for a sales contact option, figured I would try buying direct since their service dept cant be bothered to assist me. So now the time to return for a refund is long past, I cant get anyone to help me make my tent whole again, I have just thrown away the purchase price of this monster and have a pile of crap to show for it. Be smart, go elsewhere for your tent, cuz if you ever need service you aint gettin it from these guys.

I'm not a hardcore outdoorsman but I do like being in the outdoors and I don't mind camping on my own or with another adult. However, as a parent, I discovered that camping is a COMPLETELY different experience with two little kids. Kids need more space (at least if Mom and Dad want to get any sleep) and kids have a natural tendency to complain about any lack of comfort. That's where this Wenzel Klondike tent really comes into a league of its own. This is technically an 8-person tent but I'd say it fits six people "comfortably" and fits a "family of four" with plenty of room to move around and have some of your stuff inside the tent. The main tent room is large enough for a queen-sized inflatable mattress (something my wife insists upon nowadays) and the front room is big enough for our son and daughter to have their sleeping bags, clothes and lanterns inside the tent. Setup was remarkably easy. I've never setup a multi-room tent like this before and it took minimal effort and I probably could have done it without reading the instructions (although I always do ... to avoid unpleasant surprises at the camp site). My wife and I had the entire tent setup in less than 10 minutes the first time (we can probably put the tent up in less than 5 minutes now that we know the process). Tearing down the tent and packing it back up takes a bit more time and effort (as usual) because you have to fold/roll everything back into the bags, but the process is just as easy in reverse. All the screened-in openings have privacy flaps (including the door flap between the main room and the front room). We only had two problems during the camping trip: 1) Since the tent is so big sometimes people forgot it was a tent and left the front flaps open so more bugs got inside than usual. (Both the kids and Mom were guilty of that one). 2) Every child at the camp site wanted to come play inside our tent. This isn't such a terrible thing when you have kids who want to socialize and play with new friends ... but trying to manage a constant stream of kids wanting to play inside your family's tent gets old after about a day. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this tent. If you're in the market for a large tent for a family camping trip then you'll be hard-pressed to find a better tent at a better price than this. Highly recommended!

TLTR SUMMARY OF PERSONAL OPINION @ BOTTOM. We love the size of this tent and the style. However, I believe, you get what you pay for. ā¢Intermediate camping experience between my boyfriend and Iā¢ We did a mock set up once in the yard (pictured/video) for initial inspection and seam sealing before actual use. What we noticed ({-}=negative/{+}=positive): {-}For the amount of stake loops, there isnāt enough stakes. Thatās fine, we bought more before we took it out for the first camping trip. With that being said, our mock set up was less taught. {-}It rained on that mock set up night. It definitely leaked, but since it wasnāt as taught, the sides pushed in with wind, which I believe allowed the leakage from the windows. You should allow 24 hrs for seam seal glue to cure and leakage may have been prevented had i waited for a night of no rain, but I was impatient and set it anyways knowing there was a chance of rain. {-}Dividing zipper(one way only) zips from top to bottom to open, and bottom to top to close. I do wish it were the other way around or a second set of zippers to make it optional. {-&+}Front entrance zipper is sub par design, but if you just close the bottom zips first and then the middle one last, it seems to be perfectly fine. {-}Upon set up for actual use, with a stake for every respective loop, we pulled it nice and taught this time and it ripped at 3 spots in the seam. My boyfriend may have Hulked it and probably should have been more delicate, but Iāve done that with other tents of premium quality and there were no rips. So, itās hard to say weather that was due to poor quality or because of his Hulk strength. (You need at least 4 extra for all loops to be staked, so we bought 8 to have spares just in case) We had perfect weather for our first trip luckily. {+}Amazing amount of space!!! Front room is about 6X9 ft and you could easily store camping gear, or a bike, or set up a comfortable chilling area in there. Sleeping area fits a king size memory foam sleeper with at least 2 ft left on each side and between the feet and divider. My boyfriend is taller than me at 5ā10ā and he barely ducked to walk between the spaces and stood comfortably in the sleeping area. Being shorter than him, I didnāt have to duck down at all except for the main entrance. {+} Style of tent was not offered by any other brand. And that was the biggest draw for us and biggest reason for the purchase. {+}We taped up the ripped seams with tent tape that we purchased off Amazon as well when we got home and will put it to the test on 4th of July weekend for our next trip. We did use a tarp under the tent during our actual trip (which should be a standard practice when tent camping no matter the quality). And we bought an extra one to go over top of it does rain on us. Iām almost positive weāll have to use it in the future to prevent leakage when it rains. TLTR SUMMARY: (Did leak on us without extra parts purchased) If you plan to use it in good weather only or donāt mind spending extra like we did for lack of parts, repairs, and tarps for extra protection because you like the style just like we did, than this tent is the tits and youāll love it like we do. If youāre looking for the long haul, extra durable, no extra money spent type tentā¦than keep looking.
