Expert Reviews

  • The space can accommodate 3-4 people without feeling too tight.

  • The mesh roof vents make it easy to see the sky and let some additional light inside.
  • The outer material is a waterproof polyester for weather protection.

Reasons NOT to buy:

User Reviews

  • The material of the tent is mostly fabric, so it can hold moisture in hotter weather.
  • The windows on the rain fly are good for letting light in, but limit the privacy.
  • The stuff sack is not heavy-duty and has trouble holding the full tent.
  • Not the lightest tent for the size.

Expert Reviews

  • There is no included footprint, so you have to purchase it separately.
  • Not the best for backpacking since it is pretty heavy at 9lbs.
  • Despite being spacious enough for 3-4 people, it doesn’t have the most square footage when compared to other 4-person tents.

Summary:

The ALPS Mountaineering Morada 4 Tent: 4-Person 3-Season is a durable, comfortable, and easy-to-use tent that is well-suited for 3-4 people during camping trips. Despite not being the lightest weight and holding some moisture in hot weather, this is a good option for those who want a protective tent that feels roomy inside. Even though it doesn’t have the most square footage for a 4-person, the higher cross pole makes it seem like there’s more headroom, and makes leaving and entering the tent easy.
