Collection: Dome Tents

Classic Tents, Reimagined for Togetherness

There’s a reason traditional tents have stayed a staple in the outdoors: they’re simple, familiar, and make it easy to unplug and reconnect. At CORE, we’ve embraced everything you love about classic dome tents while adding just enough innovation to make your setup smoother, your space roomier, and your camping trip more relaxed from the start. Whether you’re setting up solo or adventuring with the whole family, our dome tents are designed to take the stress out of the experience so you can focus on quality time outside.

Dome tents are known for their curved, dome-like shape and straightforward pole assembly. They offer reliable shelter in a compact footprint and are easy to pitch, even in smaller campsites. CORE dome tents remain true to their classic structure, while enhancing interior space and usability. For campers who love the simplicity of traditional tents but want a little extra comfort, some models offer up to 20% more headroom, providing space to stretch, change clothes, or simply move around without feeling cramped.

Setup That Brings People Together

Pitching your tent is the start of your adventure, so it shouldn’t feel like a chore. Our newly designed ball-and-socket connectors and simple, color-coded poles make setup intuitive and quick. Whether you're camping with a partner or helping kids stake out their weekend home base, CORE Dome tents go up in minutes, leaving you more time for marshmallows, card games, and exploring the great outdoors.

Weather Protection You Can Count On

Traditional tents have a reputation for being basic, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice performance. Every CORE tent is built with our H2O Block Technology, which combines water-repellent fabrics, fully taped and heat-sealed seams, and a secure rainfly to help keep the interior dry and comfortable even in unexpected weather.

Smart Features That Keep Things Simple

You don’t need a high-tech tent to stay comfortable, but it’s the little things that make a difference. CORE dome tents feature thoughtful design elements, including adjustable airflow, interior storage pockets to keep essentials off the ground, and overhead gear lofts with lantern hooks for cozy nighttime lighting. And if you love the feel of traditional tents but want a few modern comforts, we offer dome tents with built-in LED lighting or BlockOut™ technology that blocks 90% of sunlight for better rest. Whether you're road-tripping across the country or spending the weekend at your favorite local spot, CORE dome tents offer a familiar setup with a fresh, functional feel. Easy to pitch, weather-ready, and packed with practical features, they help make outdoor time feel effortless and meaningful. With CORE, traditional tents aren’t just a nod to the past; they’re a way to create new memories, together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to set up a dome tent?
A: Most CORE dome tents take about 5-10 minutes or less to set up with two people. Setup is straightforward, with color-coded poles and intuitive design to make
things quick and stress-free.

Q: Can one person set up a dome tent alone?
A: Yes. While it’s easier with two people, CORE dome tents can be set up solo. The flexible pole system and simple instructions make it manageable on your own, especially with a little practice.

Q: How well do dome tents hold up in wind?
A: Dome tents are naturally aerodynamic, making them great for wind resistance. CORE tents are tested to meet industry standards for wind speeds of up to 30 mph. For best results, always stake your tent properly and use the included guy lines for added stability.

Q: Do I need a footprint or tarp under my dome tent?
A: While not required, we recommend using a footprint to help protect the tent floor from rough ground and
moisture. It extends the life of your tent and adds an extra layer of defense.

Q: Can I stand up inside a dome tent?
A: Most dome tents are lower profile for wind resistance, so headroom may be limited. If standing space is a priority, consider our Cabin Tents, which feature more vertical walls.
