Kelty Crestone 1 3 Season Backpacking Tent

The Crestone 1 is a lightweight design that is perfect for solo backpackers who are “watching their weight”.

The Crestone 1 is a great little backpacking tent! I purchased mine online probably 2 years back and have had it out on about 6 trips. The only reason it has not gotten more use is because I do not do a lot of solo backpacking or camping. However, when I do, this is my pick. Here are the technical specs on it.

Although I have not used the tent in any extreme weather conditions, it is rated at three seasons and I have not had any issues in March, May, or October with it. It did get a little warm inside during my trip in May with the rain fly on and it rained overnight so it is a good thing I left the fly on!

I am 6 feet tall and the tent sometimes seems just a little too short for me. I like to be able to stretch all the way out when sleeping and depending on how much gear you have inside the tent at the top where you head is, you feet can get jammed into the bottom. I also like to try to keep my sleeping bag from being pushed up against the tent wall so that it stays away from the dew or rain, so this usually does not happen with the Kelty Crestone 1 Miserables, Les buy .

Here are a few pictures I’ve taken of the Kelty Crestone backpacking tent set up in the backyard.
