The Wenzel Grand Lodge is truly camping in style. A super choice for larger families, especially if you like to spend time on the campground. There’s space enough for the children to be playing inside without being under your feet but this beauty weighs in at 47 lbs so you don’t want to be carrying it too far.

Main Features

Despite the enormous size of the Wenzel Grand Lodge, it has been cleverly designed so as to fit inside a standard campground pitch, thereby not restricting where you can go like some of the larger family tents.

Remarkably, this tent can be easily set up by a single adult! So if you’re other half is busy entertaining the kids that’s OK, you can get the job done single handed.

Although the layout is basic, being just 2 rooms, this makes for easy pitching, usage and access.

The full height of the Wenzel Grand Lodge means you can stand throughout the tent. Backache is something other campers suffer with!

Wenzel have used their Weather Armor fabric for the tent but you still must seal the seams against heavy downpours before setting out.

The roof of the Wenzel Grand lodge is mainly polyester mesh with a removable rain fly. This provides excellent airflow but can give difficulties in terms of heat retention when the temperature falls. Make sure you read our user suggestions for dealing with this issue.

The rain fly itself also suffers potential problems of holding instead of shedding rain. It’s very important that you peg the fly out to the ground independently and not attach it to the support poles. The rain then runs off just as it should.

The floor is a welded tub which means no stitching in the corners. The result is no water seepage so no damp soggy corners.

Now we move on to look at the best and worst aspects of the Wenzel Grand Lodge. There are also dimensions and statistics as well as a collection of user reviews and opinions.
