Best in three seasons.įairly small pack size for a car camping tent.Īlmost a full square, the Lynx 4 has an extra foot of length to store clothes, duffels, etc.Ī surprising amount of square footage for the weight. The upper half of the Lynx 4 is mesh, and the materials aren’t quite rugged enough for heavy winter.
If any of the people are children, you’ll be fine. It’s not a sprawling four-person area, but can fit four adults if necessary. This is great for car camping with multiple people, and many car camping tents don’t have this. This helps with condensation and airflow. The Lynx 4 has a separate rain fly and tent body, which makes it a double wall tent. This packs small and will fit in your car easily. Read on for the full Alps Mountaineering Lynx 4 review. We felt the dual doors, easier setup, and full rainfly of the Lynx 4 were worth more than height, but some may not agree. It’s a great option for those that want a more cabin-esque car camping tent. The Copper Canyon is tall - you can probably stand up in it, and it’s meant for use with cots and air beds. The other tent to consider in this price bracket is the Eureka Copper Canyon 4, which is also made in a (very popular) 6-person version.
To illustrate just how spacey and homey this tent can be, I fit a full sized foam mattress, pillow, down comforter, tote of clothes/gear, and a welcome mat all inside the tent space.ĭue to these features and quality over the years, we are awarding the Alps Mountaineering Lynx 4 our Classic Pick for the Car Camper. Some staples never really change, and the current Lynx 4 is as roomy, easy to set up, and durable as the ones made at the beginning of this decade. I lived out of the Alps Lynx 4 when I was working as a full time river guide in 2011, and it proved to be a perfect little car camping home for me in an idyllic riverside setting.
Alps has labeled it a “backpacking” tent, but in my use an eight pound, 10 ounce tent is poorly suited for carrying around (and more than double the weight of my actual backpacking tent!). The Alps Mountaineering Lynx 4 is a dome style tent with two doors, full vestibules, and plenty of space.
