Built for the family this free-standing ‘mansion-style’ tent is unbelievably quick and easy to set up and take down. An interior divider provides privacy, and the large mesh side panels ensure that the tent remains ventilated on hot summer days. This sturdy tent also has an organizer wall to keep you organized.
With 143 square feet of sleeping space, the Kelty Parthenon eight-person mansion-style tent is roomy enough for the whole family. The Parthenon is spacious from head to toe, measuring 11 by 13 feet across the floor and standing 6 feet 4 inches in the center. As a result, your wife, kids, and dog have plenty of room to stretch out, or you can turn your camping trip into a party by bringing a few friends along. The Parthenon is also fully weatherproof, with a polyester taffeta rainfly that pulls taut, along with an ArcEdge polyurethane-coated floor with specially constructed waterproof seams located above ground level. And to prevent condensation, the tent includes mesh wall panels and fly vents to keep the air flowing.
The Parthenon is easy to set up and take down thanks to the easy-fit DAC hybrid poles and color-coded clip sleeves. To encourage privacy within the tent, Kelty added an interior divider, in effect creating two separate rooms. Other details include an organizer wall, gear loft loops, adjustable stakeouts, a dual-entry vestibule, a side-release buckle tent-fly connection, noiseless zipper pulls, and guyout points.
The Parthenon sleeps up to 8 people in its 143-square-foot main room. |

About Kelty
Kelty has been building affordable, reliable outdoor gear since 1952, helping everyone--from the first-time camper to the experienced mountaineer--embrace the outdoor experience with confidence. Dick Kelty launched the company after years of making backpacks in his home or garage for friends, hand forming and welding each of the frames while his wife sewed the pack bags. The original Kelty packs included aircraft-aluminum contoured frames, padded shoulder straps, waist belts, clevis-pin attachments, nylon pack cloth, zippered pockets, and hold-open frames. Dick Kelty quit his carpentry business in 1956 to focus full time on Kelty Packs, and turned an old Glendale, California, barbershop into his first retail store and factory. In the ensuring years, Kelty expanded its product line to include daypacks, luggage, waterproof clothing, child carriers, jogging strollers, and more.
