Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent Review

Posted on September 29, 2018December 15, 2018 by Brandon

How does the Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent stack up against its competitors?

There’s much to discuss with this tent and you’ll see why in just a second.

I like this tent because it’s so big and packed with many features useful for a group of campers.

In this article I will be discussing everything it offers, the quality and how well it performs in the wild.

So without further ado, let’s get right into this Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent review!

  • Waterproof
  • Strength
  • Value
4.6

Summary:

The Browning Camping Big Horn is the biggest 8-person tent I’ve reviewed thus far and easily one of the most interesting.

It’s spacious for the whole family with an increased height for tall campers. It’s packed with features such as the mesh roof for stargazing, room divider, hub design and awnings, and will not let you down when a sudden storm passes in the night.

It truly is a fantastic tent and loved by many campers!

 Pros  Cons
  • Durable, high quality and lasts for years of frequent use
  • Stands strong in fierce weather conditions
  • Outstanding waterproofing, as it stayed completely dry in a flash flood for multiple campers
  • An increased ceiling height (7 feet) for increased livability
  • Stargazing opportunities with the rain fly off
  • The bathtub floor is 12 inches at the door and poses a tripping hazard for the little ones and dogs

What Others Are Saying About It


  • It’s held up without fail during high winds, severe rain and hail
  • A camper stayed dry in a flash flood. The water was ankle deep but absolutely no water got inside
  • The zippers don’t get caught like others/cheap tents
  • The poles are different sizes and colors to make for an easy setup
  • It is 7 feet high so anyone that’s around 5’2 might have trouble setting it up or reaching the door zipper
  • It has plenty of ventilation and high enough for pretty much anyone to walk around freely without touching the ceiling

Description


The Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent has a freestanding design, allow it to be pitched without the guy lines and increasing wind resistance.

The fiberglass poles and steel uprights offers extra strength and support in strong winds.

It features a tall center height so virtually anyone can stand and walk around freely (maximum height is 7-foot) and a vertical wall system for increased living space.

A room divider is included in the purchase so you have privacy from other campers.

There are 2 very large doors, 6 total windows and even a mesh roof…all resulting in maximum ventilation and stargazing views on summer nights!

The unique hub design creates an easy setup and the awnings on the door means more rain protection.

The floor is a durable Oxford for immense ground protection and double the durability and weight of a normal nylon floor.

Other features include: mesh storage pockets for electronics and valuables, a polyester rain fly for protection in the rain and guy ropes to hold up in the wind.

Is It Waterproof?


It was specifically designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, and that has found to be true by many people who’ve used it.

It’s held up in heavy side rain and not a drop has made it’s way inside.

Its even stood up against a flash flood without gaining a drop of water!

And I’m not exaggerating, the waterproofing on the Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent is astonishing and even I was impressed.

It truly is a master at battling the rain and I have no problems with the waterproofing whatsoever.

So yes, it is definitely waterproof.

Is It Windproof?


The Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent has been in winds of 40 MPH and sometimes even more and held up without fail.

I’ve found that so many purchasers love the fact that it withstands high winds without any stakes coming out of the ground and guy lines breaking.

However, be sure that all stakes are hammered deep into the soil to make a safe nights sleep possible.

What Makes This Tent Unique


Well aside from the fact that it’s absolutely massive, but because it stands out from the crowd with the amount of weatherproofing it provides.

This is one of the best family tents I’ve come across that’s affordable and able to combat the elements extremely well.

Considering it won’t let any rain inside even in a flash flood, I have not reviewed a family tent so far that can do this and I have no other choice but to love it because of that!

This tent is definitely unique as I have never seen anything like it.

Who It’s For


It is a family tent so it’s best used for a large family or group of friends.

The fact that it has good resistance against the elements makes it a great choice where you’ll be experiencing unpleasant weather conditions.

Although that’s not to say it can’t work as a backyard party tent or family event because it is absolutely massive and has enough room for lots of campers!

Pricing & Purchase Details


The Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent can be purchased from Amazon.com.

This is where I recommend all online purchases as you are covered for your purchase the first 30 days, no matter what.

Send it back for a full refund if you don’t like your purchase; all repairs are done completely free of charge as well.

Alternative Tent


Other big tents that come to mind when I think of the Big Horn Two-Room Tent is the Coleman Elite Montana 8 Tent.

Although it’s not as big, it still provides a luxury feel while you’re out in mother nature while being in a lower price range. There is zero complaints about the flooring material!

The CORE 9 Person Instant Cabin Tent is also very spacious, lower in price and doesn’t skimp on features.

It has stargazing opportunities and good water-resistance, however, it’s not as high quality as the Big Horn but a great alternative nonetheless.

The Verdict


There are a few certain people complaining about the floor material of this tent, however, this is before they go out and test in the field.

They are basing their review off of a simple first glance and giving it low stars because it “feels” low quality, when this is simply not the case.

This is an issue for people trying to make an informed decision, so I have to say that there is no problem with the floor material whatsoever because it is an Oxford and one of the highest quality available.

It is a great family tent that’s designed for 3 season use and unexpected high winds or rain.

When you use it in this instance, it’ll work like a charm, but steer away from its intended use and you face problem (such as in the winter time, heavy snow, etc).

Set it up properly, follow instructions and you can’t go wrong.

The Big Horn Two-Room Tent is a fricken beast in the great outdoors!

    I’ll be honest, I m a total newbie at camping and your article has really helped give me an understanding of what to look for in purchasing my first tent.

    I really like the image taken of inside the tent as it really does show how spacious this tent is inside which I did appreciate.

    I think it was very useful to include the windproof speed of this product which can be overlooked especially from a novice camper like myself!

      Thank you Darren. I know I would’ve loved to see inside the tent if I was looking to purchase it so I knew that would be so helpful to buyers like yourself 🙂

      Let me know if you need anymore help, friend!

    I am so glad my search has brought me to your site.
    This was a better review than any I have come across.
    My family and I love to camp and have gotten caught in rain and wind storms. Our current tent has not held up as good as what has been said about the Big Horn.

    I think this is exactly what I am looking for.
    I really appreciate the amount of information that you have given me.

    Hello Brandon,
    Sounds like a great tent and for a good price at Amazon too! I like the idea of the poles being color coded for easier assembly. Being able to have the privacy divider is a great option as well. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate a good honest review.

      It is a little pricier than other 8-person tents but much better quality, so you’re really paying for the quality in this instance which is always good.

      Glad to help, Devara 😀

    I’ve gone camping since I was a little boy. I’m almost glad we didn’t have this type of tent them because I may not have ever gone outside and interacted with nature… LOL. The vertical wall, plenty of space and the modular design really fill the needs of anyone with plenty of gear or the need to store items safely but not in the main sleeping area.
    I’m impressed.

      Lol, well that is one way to look at it, because it truly is massive and makes a great home away from home.

    I love camping and this tent looks right up my street, I love going to places that are really out in rural locations so on a clear night the stars are much more visible and the option that this tent offers of taking off the canvas roof away to look at that stars is really appealing.

    And the fact that it is 7 feet tall is amazing so we are actually able to stand up and move around more accessible.

    Thank you for sharing this review I will be bookmarking this page and looking to invest into this tent in the near future ready for next year 🙂

    Have a great day and all the success, health and prosperity that you desire, take care.

    Dean.

    There is nothing that I don’t now know about the Browning Camping Big Horn Two-Room Tent now that I have read this very thorough review. I really appreciate it when I’m searching a particular product and I come across a comprehensive description of the product. I mean that. I’ve had great tents, and I’ve had ones I thought would be great, but they had issues.

    I’m looking for something that I can take camping and invite a few of my grand kids, and we can all be comfortable. This really fits the bill.

    Thanks again,

    Babsie

      This will definitely be a great fit for you and your grand kids Babsie. You will not go wrong, not with only one small/minor con that’s for sure!

    Wow, this tent looks perfect for a family. My wife loves to camp in a tent, but we haven’t been able to since we have had kids. Our tent wasn’t big enough, but this looks like it will work for us!
    Thank you for sharing this information.

      It’s the perfect family tent my friend.

      There’s ample room to move and a lot storage space, AND a room divider so the kids can feel like they’re in their own tent.

      Plus it’s proven time and time again to keep you safe from heavy rain and winds!
