Elk camp

[cgoodenough97]

Looking for a recommendation on a tent for a elk base camp. Looking to hold around 3-4 people with cots. Been considering a wall tent with a stove but don’t know sizing or brands that are quality. I would think around 12’x20’?

14x16....

Bigger the better on wall tents. You'll never wish you had less space.

I would look at Davis Tents or Bravo tents if I was buying a wall tent but there are other quality tent makers out there, depending on where you live. Cylinder Stoves is about the best tent stove available right now and they also sell a well made tent. A 14x16 should work well but you might consider larger if you plan on cooking in it. Also consider whether you want the stove jack out the roof or the side, number of windows, doors etc., Some good information out there if you do a search.

You could fit 3-4 plus a stove in a 14x16, but that's about it. I'd go 16x20 if you want maybe a table inside as well.

I have a few Montana Canvas wall tents and have been very happy with them.

I encourage you to take a look at this blog article which makes a comparison between wall tents and large canvas tipi's - https://www.mansfieldoutdoors.com/hunting-tents/

Tentipi's largest (called a size 15) is 20 ft. in diameter and 12 ft. tall at the peak., it comfortably fits 4-5 cots along with wood stove, a small table etc. Outstanding base camp tent!

I'd go with either a 14 x 16 or a 16 x 20. I'd have to know more info as far as cooking and eating setups to recommend you what size.
