Hotcore Discovery 6 Person Tent - Reliable Family Basecamp

Family camping in the Maritimes is an exercise in preparation—you’re either dodging a sudden afternoon downpour in the Valley or trying to stay cool during a humid night on the South Shore. The Hotcore Discovery 6 is a true "basecamp" tent, offering a roomy 81 square feet of floor space for the whole crew (plus the dog). Designed by a Canadian company that understands our "four-seasons-in-a-day" weather, the Discovery features a full-length "Mojito Green" rainfly to keep you bone-dry and a massive 22-square-foot vestibule that acts as a dedicated mudroom for wet boots and gear. It’s reliable, rugged, and tall enough for most people to stand up in, turning a rainy day at the campsite from a disaster into a cozy card-game marathon.

• Continuous Pole Sleeves: Unlike fumbling with clips in the wind, these sleeves make the 11mm fiberglass poles slide through easily for a fast, stress-free setup even if you're pitching solo.
• Durable Full-Length Rainfly: The 70D polyester fly extends all the way to the ground, providing 2000mm of waterproof protection against wind-driven Atlantic rain.
• Oversized Vestibule: Adds an extra 22.6 sq. ft. of protected storage space outside the inner tent—perfect for keeping muddy hiking boots, coolers, or wet raincoats away from your sleeping bags.
• Rugged Bathtub Floor: Constructed from heavy-duty 210D polyester with a 2000mm coating and taped seams, ensuring ground moisture stays exactly where it belongs—outside.
• High-Flow Ventilation: Featuring a large D-shaped door and extensive use of "no-see-um" mesh on the inner tent to maximize airflow and keep out even the smallest Maritime midges.
• Convenient Organization: Includes multiple interior storage pockets and a mesh gear loft to keep headlamps, phones, and snacks off the floor and within easy reach.
