WHITEDUCK Regatta Canvas Bell Tent w/Stove Jack, Fire Water Repellent, Yurt

I received my new White Duck Regatta 16.5' Bell-style tent, and I have to say, I couldn't be happier with it. It was shipped earlier than expected and received in perfect condition. The instructions say to set it up and soak it with a hose before you plan to first use it, to season the tent and make it more water repellant - so I did. Set-up was quite easy and the tent looked great standing there in the back yard (my 3-year old son had a blast running around inside the tent and yelling out the mesh windows). We tried to soak the tent with the garden hose, but the water just kept running off. Eventually, it started to look like the material was actually getting wet, and we made sure to try to saturate every bit of the canvas. After sitting overnight, I went in with a towel to clean up any puddles, but the inside of the tent was dry as a bone! I can't wait to take this thing camping in a few weeks!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE - 9/8/2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We just got back from our first camping trip with this tent, and I have to say that I'm still as pleased as the day I wrote my initial review. It's like a TARDIS in there!!! It looks a little big from the outside after it's set up, but wait until you start to actually put your gear into it. We took 7 large totes, a queen inflatable bed, a toddler inflatable bed, and other various sundries with us, and with the totes around the walls, and with the beds inflated, there was still so much room in the middle of the tent that my whole family could have lain down in the empty space and not touched each other! Most importantly, it stayed bone dry in the tent through an entire day of thunderstorms and downpours. When the rain started, I made sure the windows were mostly closed (a little gap at the top), and the door was zipped at the bottom (I left the vertical zipper unzipped for air flow and only a few drips came in - I would've zipped that one too if the wind was blowing from that direction). We spent a lot of time sitting in our canvas palace, marveling that we didn't need to mop up any errant puddles throughout the storm. My family loves this tent - I can't wait to go camping (glamping) in it again!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE - 11/28/2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We have been camping with this tent two more times since my last update, and I am no less impressed with this tent than before. We have been rained on at every camping trip we've taken with this tent so far, and this tent continues to keep us dry. A few weekends ago, my family went to Alabama for a 4-day event, and we had purchased a wood-burning stove in anticipation of winter temperatures, but it did not get really cold until our last night there, so we only got to use the stove for one night. With temperatures in the low 30's, we stayed cozy and warm all night. Even with another adult on another queen mattress staying with us for the event, we still had plenty of room in the tent for my family and all of our gear. I can't say enough good stuff about this tent. BTW: the stove I got was the "Winnerwell Large Nomad Tent Stove", it is awesome! I purchased the stove, a "Winnerwell Triple Wall Chimney Pipe, 3.5 Inch Diameter", and the "Winnerwell Flashing Kit," and the stove fit perfectly in the tent (the Triple Wall pipe was at the correct height to exit through the Flashing Kit without needing to purchase any additional parts). I highly recommend this set-up if you plan on putting a stove in your White Duck Regatta 16.5' Bell tent. FYI: Make sure to protect the bottom of your tent from the heat of the stove. I brought a welding blanket for under the stove, but I still needed to place a barrier of split wood under the stove to keep from melting the floor. Next time, I'll probably take a few sheets of 3/4" plywood to put under the welding blanket (2' wide x 3' long should be more than adequate). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE - 05/05/2025 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I just wanted to add a quick update since we have been using this as our primary camping tent for most of the LARP events my family attends. The family still absolutely loves this tent! The event we were at last weekend had more rain than sun, with wind gusts and general unpleasantness, but we all stayed dry as long as we stayed in the tent. When this tent is closed up, nary a drop of water can get into it. This tent has truly been my best glamping purchase, and if a tree were to fall on it and destroy the material, I'd buy another one tomorrow. I can't recommend White Duck Regatta enough! Speaking of buying another one, my wife and I have decided to get the 10 foot version for when either of us are camping alone and want to pack a little lighter. There was a guy set up next to us at the last campout we attended with one of the smaller 10 foot versions, and it looks perfect for one adult, with or without a child in tow.

We've had this tent set up for a month now- the boys set it up in the backyard, very easy, stakes must have been upgraded because they're heavy-duty rebar and nothing outside of a tornado is moving that tent. It's a very rugged, durable, heavy canvas, well-made and stitched tent. The boys immediately moved their cots, TV, Sofa, rugs, and a bunch of other stuff into it and haven't left. It's seen 60 mph winds, blizzards, downpours, -20F, basically everything and it's a very solid and 100% dry tent that looks brand new. This thing is everything I hoped it would be. Downside is the weight. It's really heavy in the bag- like surprisingly heavy. A two-man job to move around with one man on each strap. Also even on a 60 degree sunny day you can tell the tent is a lot warmer, maybe 10-20 degrees warmer, inside. Not sure I'd want to be in it on a hot summer day but it is very well ventilated with 3 windows, roof vents and a large door. UPDATE: It now has about 90 days on it over the year+ we've had it. Set up is quick, tent still in great shape- like new. What surprises me about this tent is its ability to withstand the wind. Boys left it up with a week straight of 40-60 mph sustained winds (high wind warnings every day)- the tent handled it without any issue. I've never had tent that is even close to this one in terms of shedding high winds. Also still waterproof. I don't think you can make a better choice than this tent. UPDATE 2. The main ropes are connect to bungee loops. After a couple of years those get rotted out and need to be changed or your tent will fail in a heavy wind. We just tied some 550 paracord where the bungees were and it's fine. All stitching and tent still in great shape.

Heavy, heavy heavy duty! I didn't keep it b'cuz of the weight. I don't have help setting up so...it's just too much. If u r very strong or two people, this is your tent!!! So much room inside! Simple to set up, really sturdy floor! I left a sprinkler on this for 3 hours on high. No leaks! This company, White Duck, is serious about quality! I have 2 of their tarps. Love their strength and quality. You can't go wrong w this tent! I bought the 16 so...it's BIG! Some camping sites will b 2 small for the footprint of this size! If you have the room and physical capabilities to handle this tent...go out and buy it now!!!

Had our first camp trip with this tent and it did amazing. Plenty of space and height. We had thunderstorms roll through 2 of the 3 days we were there and not a drop was inside the tent. Held up to some wind and a complete downpour no problem. The pad stakes are a little flimsy in hard soil and we ended up bending one trying to drive it in but the guy line stakes are rebar and did great. That being said the deadblow hammer in the kit is a little undersized so pack a heavier one. Haven't used a stove in it yet but there is plenty of space inside for one. Bought this as a long term solution rather than buying a Walmart special every 2 years and this thing will probably outlive my wife and I.

Tent has performed well in the New Mexico desert environment. Stands up well to high winds and sand. Cozy warm in the winter. Extremely easy to set up. Huge space inside. Sturdy material and construction. Stakes are robust. Keeps the rain out. Keeps the wind out. Best tent I've ever had. I use it to camp for a week at a time at least 4 times a year.

Love the tent. Purchased Sept 2025. We have spent over a month camping the love the tent, solid design, ease of setup. Campers envy. We have used our wood stove for several weeks and the stove jack has worked perfectly. 4 Stars due to exceptionally slow response to email and online inquiry about the matching Flysheet cover that gives added rain protection. There was some confusion at Whiteduck about flysheet color options and after some education was sent to them (link to their own web site product color description) they verified that you can only get the flysheet in what they call "White" which is actually a very light beige with a pink hue and of course a beige that would match their Sandstone beige tent. See the images attached. First image shows us tenting at Three Lakes in Hiawatha National Forest. You can see how light colored the rainfly is. Not too offensive, just a different color. Second image closeup of the tent color. Third image is the REI and Whiteduck stickers on their rainfly. Fourth image shows a closeup of the "White" rainfly which is a light beige with pink hue. Interestinglly, even REI was unaware of the color variations and sold us what they thought was sandstone beige which was in fact "White" colored flysheet as verified by Whiteduck. The true Beige flysheet will be out of stock until mid Jan 2026.

Taken camping many times. No regrets. Very good

Great product, set up alone in 20 min first time. Everything seems to be of great quality, it was nice that I was able to cut my pipe stove pipe hole to fit. I have yet to water test this tent but I feel it will hold up well to water. I’m considering getting a seem sealer as a extra precaution. I hope to have this tent for at least 20 years so I hope it was a good investment. Seems to be already. I took it down in 20 min and was able to get all the prices in the bag first time, witch is amazing, those who set up tents often know all to well that the bag seems to shrink after you set up the first time LOL.
