6 Reviews of the Yellowstone Falls
By: Teekayk Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2012 Rating:  Date: 06/04/2013
We have just returned from our maiden camp in the yellowstone falls tent. As other people have noted, we love the tent once it is up but it is so heavy and the fully enclosed pole sleeves make it trickier to put up than usual.
Our main gripe is the pole which runs along where the partition wall between the lounge and porch is, is particularly tricky to push in as it seems to easily gey caught on all the fabric underneath. However, once this particular pole is inserted the others aren't so bad.
We love.
The thick fabric and zip up curtains
Lots of storage pockets in both lounge and porch
Hanging rails are great
Wardrobe area which we use as toilet and wardrobe / storage
Very sturdy. Have used in high winds no problem.
Light cable tidies
Niggles.
Weight and bulk
The large front door only opens from one side. We found it easier to just remove the front door completely during the day and zip it back on at night, however we had no rain at all during our break !
The cable entry points aren't big enough to put our ehu plug through, so we just had to unzip the groundsheet slightly so not really too much of a problem.
The carpets we got as part of a package were supposed to be one front porch and one lounge, but when unpacked they were both lounge ones. We decided to use one in the bedroom and had foam tiles in the front porch.
Overall happy with tent but would not use it for breaks of less than 4 nights due to the effort involved in pitching etc

We bought this tent as we wanted a large cotton tent to camp in Sweden. We spent 21 nights in the tent and it was a great size as even when it rained we could all sit and eat inside. The tent took some effort to put up but considering the size it was quite acceptable. However, we were rather disappointed that one of the seams on the inner tent came undone. It was quick to fix but for the cost of the tent one would expect better quality.
When it rain continuously the tent kept dry but one could not have the large front door open, this not so good when cooking. We fixed an extra roof so that the front could be open and it gave the tent a huge lift for those drizzling days! Where we could sit under a roof but still enjoy the outdoors and the view!

We have just used this tent for a weekend camp and loved it. I have not given it 10 out of 10 because we camped in lovely weather and although I would assume the tent would withstand wind and rain we have not used it under these circumstances. Although we did soak the tent using the hose and nothing came through.
The tent was easy to put up, the poles threaded into the sleeves relatively easily. Putting the pin into the poles was also easy as both sides have tension adjusters, on our Minnesota 4 I can't put the second pin in, but with the help of the tension adjusters I could do both sides of the Yellowstone. So I think I could even put the tent up by myself!
We love the layout with the 3 sections, and this is one of the reasons we chose the tent! We used the porch section for all the outside coats, boots etc. And it made in inner section so much tidier, with very little grass and mud making it into the living room section. The wardrobe in the living room was also ideal for clearing clutter into and keeping the tent tidy, before we used the tent we thought the wardrobe was a bit of a gimick!
The cotton fabric kept the tent much warmer at night than we would normally find at this time of year (Sept). We also found that we could sit in the porch area and the light did not shine through to the bedroom pods, so the kids stayed asleep and we could stay up. Even from the lounge area the light didn't shine too much into the bedroom pods. However, in the morning the light shone through into the bedroom pods through the ground level weather checking window. I assume you can cover the window over with something and I never checked if there was a blind on it as it wasn't a huge issue.
We didn't use the footprint and this was a bit of a mistake as the webbing straps under the tent didn't dry out when the tent was up. We then took longer to pack the tent away as we had to leave the tent down with these straps out in the sun to dry. We have a footprint on order for next time, which should solve this problem.
The groundsheets both unzip completely from the flysheet, which made the tent much easier to pack away as there was less fabric to fold. It also means that if we are desperate we can even spread the tent out in the house to dry (as the flysheet is about as bulky as our 4 person tent which has a SIG). The groundsheets can stay wet until a sunny day as you can pack them separately and they will not touch the cotton.
It's an expensive tent, the layout is fantastic, the fabric is great but the tent pegs are simple metal pegs (admittedly hefty ones) and this tent will have to be returned as the fabric struts to hold open the porch vents were missing. But despite these quality problems it was great tent especially for longer trips. However,
We are even thinking that it is worth taking this tent away for a weekend camp as putting it up and taking it down was so much easier than we had anticipated.

Just had our first trip away in the Yellowstone for 3 days.
The tent went up reasonably well had an issue getting a couple of poles in the middle but that was probably us not getting tent laid out correctly.
We bought the tent to replace our Montana 6 plus extension to save putting both up on trips away.
The Yellowstone is a little smaller compared to the monty but it is still more then adequate.
The new carpets seem a lot thinner than the older ones but they still do the job.
We like the zip up curtains and tinted windows and the whole tent has a feel of good quality to it.
Electric can be put in from both sides but only one has velcro for the light.
The front door zips off if you want and all though the ground sheet isn't zipped in all round the fastenings are more than adequate to keep the rain out.
Bought the ground sheet for the living room and took one for the front off our Minnesota 4 plus the carpet which were quite a good fit. I would recommend a ground sheet for the front as it will keep your zipped in ground sheet clean and make it easier for putting tent away.
Tent packed up easily into bags provided.
The only complaint I would have is the pegs supplied are just the steel wire type not sure why Outwell have gone back to supplying these.

I love this tent. We're relatively new to camping, but planning a trip to France next year so I wanted something solid, that would stay cool.
Our first pitch was tough and it is heavy, it took us 2 hours first time. We knocked it down to an hour next pitch. Following the pitching video exactly, incidentally folding exactly the same way is the best way to get it into the bag again, had to re-roll 3 times after first pitch. (this could just be our inexperience showing)
Our original plan was that we'd put out portaloo in the wardrobe, a sort of camping ensuite. However by our second pitch we decided we prefer the space without the wardrobe in. Drying rails are fantastic, will take some coat hangers next time to hang the coats up. We had variable weather over the bank holiday, it was very windy one night, she was solid and the only thing we could hear was a bit of creaking on the poles, and the caravan behind us windbreak flapping like a baby bird!
I have a couple of small gripes, which relate to quality control. It's an expensive tent, and I have high standards. Our bedroom pod has a clip missing off it (I haven't had time to contact the dealer yet regarding this, but I will get it sorted). We also purchased the living room carpet, unfortunately it was a front room carpet badged and boxed as a living room carpet (it's a different shape). Luckily we test pitched for a 1 night stay, if I'd gone off for a week to discover that I'd have been annoyed, again we didn't send this back as we decided to keep it and order a correct carpet.
Our other slight criticism is how the groundsheets are configured you can't get the electric hook up to the front of the tent easily.
All in all, it's spacious, feels fantastic, and I love it. It's heavy, and takes up a lot of room, but yeah I still love it. I hope I never have to take it home really wet!

After falling in love with camping with our Vango Samara 600 we decided that we needed something a bit more robust for our planned holidays in France (after a pole snapped on a fairly windy night in Cornwall).
We saw the Yellowstone Falls at a Yeomans camping show, in comparison to all of the other tents there it stood out as a real quality tent.
We have just had our first 2 nights away in it and it lives up to every expectation that I had. The bedrooms have enough space for 2 kids in one and the hubby and I in the other all on camp beds. The wardrobe is awesome and means that the tent stays tidy and looks fab all the time! We cooked and ate in the front section and sat in the front section with friends when the rain started and the kids were asleep. The cotton is amazing quality, really thick and keeps the tent cool when it's warm but warm when it's cold. It is also a lot quieter than poly tents when it's raining and windy. There is no movement when it's windy either, it feels very secure. When the light is on at night you can't see it through the tent at all!
We panicked about it not drying out before we left and I think that this will always be a worry but I'm sure we'll come up with something when that happens.

Manufacturer's Description
As with all the tents in our prestigious Ambiente Collection, the Yellowstone Falls is a classic combination of sheer style and absolute functionality. This can be seen through the use of our unique lightweight Outtex® 100% Ripstop Cotton. The in-tent ambience created is the stuff of fond camping memories and breathable cotton not only minimises condensation but helps keep the tent cool on hot days and warm when the evening gets cool. The tinted windows add to the effect by reducing UV-penetration and aids privacy while ensuring good views out. This alloy-poled four-room tunnel tent sleeps up to six in two bedrooms. It has a living room with two external side doors and a front room with a zip-out door. Underfoot comfort comes from the heavy duty Tarpaulin groundsheet that zips-out for easy maintenance.
Recommendation: The 3+3 Universal Inner can sleep up to six, but is also ideal for four who want that bit of extra bedroom space to themselves.
