Materials
Canvas Options
- PolyShieldâ„¢ (Standard): Market-leading polyester blend, the leading alternative to traditional cotton. Superior performance and durability, proven by 20+ years of customer testing and use.
- PolyShield+ (Upgrade): Unlike coatings that wear off, PolyShield+ is treated during manufacturing so protection is part of the fabric itself — delivering long-lasting resistance to mildew, fire, and wear.
Fabric Strength & Durability
- Higher break and tear strength than traditional canvas
- More resistant to ultraviolet rays than cotton canvas
- Does not shrink like cotton canvas
- Made from a waterproof material
- More resistant to mold and mildew than cotton canvas
- Lighter than traditional cotton canvas
- The same deluxe canvas used in our wall tents
Windows, Vents & Doors
- 4 screened windows with mosquito netting
- 4 screened peak air vents with mosquito netting
- Zippered front door
- 3 ft sidewalls
- Zipped-in floor (included); sides can unzip and tie up
Stove Pipe Jack
- Uncut fiberglass stove pipe jack with cover (cut to 4″, 5″, or 6″)
- Stove jack is sewn over the tent canvas; user must cut opening and remove canvas around it
Groundsheet
- PVC 540g groundsheet zips into tent and curves 3.5″ up the wall to keep water out
Accessories
Frame
- Complete frame included: galvanized steel center peak pole (breaks into three segments) and A-frame doorway poles
- Center pole gaskets: rubber gaskets at top and bottom protect floor and canvas — always use the gaskets
- Door pole pockets: older instructions may show sewn floor pockets; current tents do not include pockets
- Door pole setup (important):
- Door poles are held in place by gravity and the rope system
- Ties inside help keep poles in place — do not use the ties closest to the floor
- Allow the pole to angle away from the tent
- Position door-pole feet about 1 ft away from the wall for proper angle
- Longest pole length: 40″
- 20 ft models: center pole can bow due to joint movement — consider replacing with a 1¼″ rigid pipe (plumbing) or lumber; thicker walls help with snow loads
- Note: Not designed for snow loads
Ropes & Stakes
- Includes stakes for around the bottom of the tent and ropes
- Upgraded to larger, stronger stakes; to use larger stakes around the floor, run rope from stake to grommet holes
- Guy ropes included; one rope is longer for the top of the door
- For rocky ground or high winds, consider larger stakes
Bag
- Zippered bag with handle; large enough to hold the tent and poles

I have the 13’ Yukon tent and love it. It is perfect for elk camp. It stood up to 60mph winds with no problems. The stove will cook you out if your not careful. Would highly recommend any of Justin’s tents.
Glenn Mosher –
Got 16 ft Yukon. Love it use it for November deer camp in Michigan. I put it up by myself. Use propane heater it stays toasty. Thanks for great tent.

I bought this tent in January of 2022 for 2 to 4 day trips. I also own one of the 13×20 wall tents. I love the wall tent but it is a chore to put up and take down. This tent took me about an hour the to set up the first time and about 40 minutes to take down. I took it camping in February and that time set up took about 30 minutes and 30 or less to take down. I stayed in it in 20 degree weather and it worked great. There was plenty of room for three grown men and our stuff. I would recommend this tent to others looking for a well made multi season tent that is easy to set up and take down. It is a little pricey but I am glad to have it.

got the 16 foot Yukon, and it is perfect for turkey season right now and great for deer hunts this fall and winter. More than enough room for five cots, stove and gear. Very happy with my purchase. The set up is a breeze. The tent is sturdy and I can spend my time enjoying camping in the outdoors and hunting. So glad I found the Elk Mountain web site.

Five Stars all the way! I bought the 16′ Bell Tent to use as a 3 to 4 season tent on my property and couldn’t be happier with this tent. The build quality and materials are fantastic and the bell shape is just what I needed to help shed snow more easily and extend the seasons of use. The ability to put a wood stove in them is fantastic too, makes camp a true home away from home. The shipping carrier badly damaged the box, so much so they blew the end out and taped it all back together. I unpacked everything immediately after delivery and sent photos to customer service and they responded in less than an hour to confirm all the parts were there, which gave me peace of mind. If you’re in the market for an awesome tent don’t hesitate to get this one from Elk Mountain Tents…great product for a great price, hard to beat that!

Five stars for sure! This is a fantastic tent in every way. Construction is amazing for the price, much better than the big outdoor store outfitter tent and as good as, if not better quality than higher priced canvas outfitter tents from a large sky state. One note, if you’re going to build a platform to put the tent on, be sure to open and measure it first, it’s a bit wider than 16′ in actual measurements…so a 17′ square (or a 17′ circle if you’re a perfectionist) will be plenty. Setup the first time (and only time so far) took my wife and I about an hour…it can be done faster for sure, but we took our time. We also secured the bottom to the platform using the same loop points the ground spikes would have used. 16′ is plenty big for a queen sized inflatable bed, a wood stove, a couple camp chairs and still space for clothing bins and moving around. We’ve not had to use the wood stove (optional) yet but no doubt we’ll be warm this fall and winter when it is needed. This will for sure be a comfortable home away from home!

We bought this tent to take to Colorado elk hunting last year. We bought the 20ft Yukon bell tent version. Setup on the tent is super easy. I can set this tent up by myself in less than 30 minutes. The tent has a amazing floor in it that is very durable and thick. The only complaint I have about this tent is when I set it up for the first time to get it ready to go to elk hunting (put a stove jack through the tent) the piece of fire resistant material the stove pipe goes through was only sewn in on two sides. I sewed it back in and we went to hunting. Tent was great. We stayed in it for 15 days and temps were below freezing every night. Will burn you out if you keep the fire stoked. Got home and took it to deer camp and noticed that the seams in the top of the tent where the pole is in the peak are starting to come apart. Have not set it back up at home to check these out but you can for sure seen daylight through them when it was up at camp. Besides these sewing problems the tent has been great.

I was hesitant about the material but I am very glad to say it is Great quality.

Best tent ever! My buddies wall tent takes a solid hour to set up. My 20’ Yukon bell tent sets up in 20 minutes tops. Should last for years.

I bought this for a gift for my husband. He goes camping three times a year. He had a nice four season tent but he couldn’t stand up inside the tent. He loves this tent. He said it is a easy set up and very roomy . The best part is that he doesn’t have to crawl out of it . Great purchase!

It’s a fantastic product that not only has exceeded my expectations, but also has been durable in the Texas hill country hunts.
Even better is the customer service; the owner is a man of his word and will go out of his way to help you with any issue, a very rare quality these days
Buy this brand!!!

So far I have absolutely loved this tent. I’ve had it for just over a year now and seemed to have put it through it’s paces with wind, rain and even snow. The ease of set up is what drew me to this type of tent and with my 10 year old son and I it takes us about 30 min to set up. The reason I bought this tent is to go camping with my parents at established campgrounds and use it as base camp up hunting. The only draw back that I can find with it is that it has a VERY large footprint and most camp sites are unable to support the width. But with a large footprint come TONS of room inside easily capable of handling 3 large cord and a small table. For anyone looking for a canvas tent I have definitely recommended this tent and this company. Between questions before purchase, after purchase customer service has been top notch. Thank you for an incredible tent and look forward to getting an awning!

We love it. One man setup have had no issues used it probably 6-8 times over the past couple years

Hunted Colorado last year. We experienced snow, heavy wind and a few below freezing mornings. I purchased a rain cover which did a good job with the snow and slush, repelling it right off.
The only disappointment was my center pole Assembly was missing the two end rubber grommets. My fault I should had assembled it prior to our hunt.

Great tent… Seems to be pretty durable…. stove works well. Shipping was within a reasonable period of time.

awesome tent. has been thru some serious rain with minimal issues, alot of wind with no issues, the ropes could use a better adjustment system than what it came with, i dont use those as they are very hard to adjust. i regularly pull the bottom out and clean the canvas by hose from the inside, then reassemble, mine is still in perfect condition. one section of the center pile disconnected, the piece holding the spring in came out, not a major issue in purting it up. no regerts!!
Nicholas (verified owner) –
Beautiful tent. I can set it up by myself. It is so spacious that we can fit a king air mattress in it and still have tons of space! Highly recommend this tent, but keep in mind it is an enormous footprint with the ropes and stakes. I have a difficult time finding suitable campgrounds for it, but it is fantastic if you have open space!
Troy (verified owner) –
Easy setup plenty of space for my family of 5 or all my hunting gear during the hunting season.
Zachary H. (verified owner) –
The tent might seem big and imposing on initial set up but after a few trips you’ll be able to dial in the process. First time taking it out we had 30 mile sustain winds and the tend stayed up the entire time. I recommend purchasing a broom to sweep out dirt before packing it away.
Adam F. (verified owner) –
I love my bell tent. I went back and forth between a traditional wall tent and this. I ended up with the bell tent because of the poles. I wanted to be able to fit everything in a short box pick up for a 10 day hunting trip. This fit the bill. With the wood stove I am super comfortable in negative weather. Easy to set up, about 15-20 minutes by myself including the wood stove. I use it for 3 hunt hunts a year and still in good shape.

Awesome tent! Easy to set up and spacious. Staff at Elk Mtn are always helpful and fast to respond. I’ll never buy from anywhere else.

I have nothing but great things to say about this tent! I spend on average approximately 4 weeks per year camping and half of them are cold weather hunting camps with the stove. Comfort, space, setup, breakdown, cleanup, etc., are very simple and easy for one person. I’d recommend this tent to anyone with similar interests.

The tent was fantastic! I kept it up at the deer lease and left it up for years in the weather and sun and it just kept on going! Tons of great memories made out there with my son, what a cool way to do deer camp.

I’ve had this tent for 2 years now. I’ve used it many times and everything has held up great and has been an awesome tent. Holds heat very well and hasn’t leaked a drop of water. My only complaint is the the stove jack. The one that comes with it is good for about 10 uses than it starts falling apart and tearing and isn’t great for support. One with a gasket would be excellent if that was included because I had to hand sew one in which was another $85 and took about 2 hours. Besides that I love the tent and it’s always coming with me on hunting and fishing trips.

I love this tent. I have a 16 ft and it’s very spacious. 4 guys with cots and gear plus wood stove and you’re not cramped at all. I leave the floor zipped in and its very sturdy material. The rainfly is a must have ( for me )and this one keeps you dry. I really can’t think of any negatives other than a 16 footer with poles is heavy.
Jaime B. (verified owner) –
Beautiful and obviously well made tent! It was designed with practical solutions, it’s easy to put together and very durable. The craftsmanship and care are obvious, definitely not from China if you know what I mean. We purchased the largest size and the whole family could probably live in it full time if we wanted to. This tent would serve well as anything from a hunter’s cabin to a BNB glamping rental. Couldn’t have been more pleased.

I had your bell tent for almost 4 years now and wanted to leave you a good word on your product after putting it to the test in rather adverse winter conditions.
Back in November 2022 (and numerous times since) I took my 16′ bell tent to northern Pennsylvania on state forest land to hunt grouse with my Llewellin setter, Fred . The first time using it we arrived with temps in the low 30’s, snow just started while setting up. Having set it up numerous times in fair weather it can be set up easily in a half hour solo. Hunting wasn’t the best considering the constant 10-15 mph winds, 30 mph gust for 3 days and 8″ of snow. All which the tent took great (I knocked the snow off to avoid overload on the center pole).
Thanks again for a quality product,

Love it! I don’t get to go elk hunting but I have used it a lot for camping. I set it up sometimes for 10 day trips. One night we got stormed on for 12 hours and it did great! It also did great during a short hail storm with large hail. I bought an Elk Mountain wall tent first and liked it so well I also bought the bell tent.

This is a great set up and is very well made. Perfect size for 2-3 guys and full gear for multi-day hunts with a stove. It has held up to some crazy winds and small hail with no issues. It’s super fast to take up and down as well. Overall just a great product
Micah (verified owner) –
Really nice tent for the price. It’s lasted me 5 years and should last a while longer. I had leakage issues in a many hour downpour when 8 first got it, but the company provided me a rain fly free of charge. I’m not sure if additional weather proofing would solve the problem as well. The one thing I don’t like is the springs in the tent poles. They get all bent up pretty quick. Someday they’ll probably break and I’ll have to figure something else. Other beans I’ve seen have a spring and cable system so the cable bends when you pack it up (instead of bending the spring). But it works great with my stove and gets lots of comments from everyone on how cool it is. If you enable pictures on these reviews I’ll shoot you a picture of my high country elk hunt.

Been in the tent for 6 years now. Tents up for hunting at least 5-6 weeks every year regardless of weather. No tears. No holes. No mice. No bugs. Love the one man 30 minute set ups and the fact that I get a full 4 man camp in the bed of a truck with all the luxuries. Have only broke the zipper on the bag, literally, this past season. Only advice is better stakes and lines. Easy fix.

The Elk Mountain tent is beautiful and fun once set up, though assembly was a bit tricky. When I bought it in 2021, the company was new, responsive, and sent updated instructions as they improved. However, a later question about mold prevention went unanswered. Make sure to pitch the tent in a sunny spot and look for an extra cover to protect it. Unfortunately, we had to take ours down due to mold before really using it, but I would explore using this company again in the future if we are able to. Big KUDOS for reaching back out for reviews!
