Nemo Aurora Highrise 4P review

The Aurora Highrise is the family pick on this list because it puts space where a car camper needs it. Nemo lists a 75 inch peak, the tallest here, and steep sidewalls that give standing height across the floor rather than just at the center. The 4-person size has a 90 by 100 inch floor of 62.5 square feet, and a 6-person version stretches that to 83.3. Two large doors open onto two 19.5 square foot vestibules, the biggest on this list, so wet boots and camp chairs stay out of the sleeping area. Side windows have mesh and integrated rain covers for airflow in showers, and the 150D polyester floor is rated 1500 mm. Nemo adds Nightlight Pockets that diffuse a headlamp, Gatekeeper door clips and an oversized duffel for packing up. The downsides are weight and weather rating: at 13 lb 12 oz it stays near the car, the fly is rated 1200 mm, and the footprint is sold separately.

Who it is for

Families who drive to a campsite and want to stand up, spread out and keep gear dry.
