Why the HUB 4XL is the Ultimate Basecamp Shelter

Why the HUB 4XL is the Ultimate Basecamp Shelter

When you're deep in the backcountry your ground tent needs to do more than just be the place you rest your head at night. It should make camp life easier. That's where the Hub 4XL comes in. Built with adaptability in mind for families, hunters, and weekend warriors alike, this spacious tent delivers on what matters most: quick setup, generous space, and all-weather protection you can rely on.

With upgraded features from our previous Hub Tent models including a fully integrated door and window, removable floor, roll-up Tri-Layer walls, and greater interior storage, the Hub 4XL is ready to be the centerpiece of your basecamp setup. From the convenience of a simple pull-tab setup to all-season comfort, here's why it stands out as one of the best 4-person tents for all-weather camping.

Quick & Easy Setup with the Pull Tab System

Setting up camp shouldn't feel like a chore. The Hub 4XL is all about quick and easy deployment. With four intuitive pull tabs, this tent can be fully popped into place in just a few minutes.

The design of the Hub 4XL creates a rigid, freestanding structure with minimal effort. Plus, the newly integrated front door is supported by three poles, enhancing stability without compromising ease of use. That means whether you're solo camping or setting up in the dark with tired kids in tow, there's no struggle to set up this tent.

Optional add-ons like the removable rainfly and floor let you adapt the tent for different weather conditions or needs. When it's time to pack up, everything folds neatly into a bag that's 70" long and 12" wide.

Spacious Interior

The fast setup is great, but the real magic is how spacious it is inside the Hub 4XL. With a generous 8' x 8' footprint (64 square feet), it easily accommodates 4 to 6 people. You can set up sleeping cots, store gear, create a cozy hangout spot to escape the sun, or even build out an indoor kitchen to cook peacefully out of the wind — the possibilities are endless.

Hub 4XL has a towering 80" max interior height, meaning you can stand up fully, making it easier to change clothes, stretch out, or move around without feeling cramped. Want to see it in action?

Unlike some competitor tents and even the first generation of our own Hub Tent which featured an awkward triangle-shaped entryway, the Hub 4XL now includes a fully integrated, full-sized door that unzips and rolls completely out of the way. This upgrade was driven by customer feedback and real-world use: it's now easier than ever to load in coolers, chairs, tables, or other gear without awkward angles or tripping over uneven flaps. It's all about smoother access and a better experience at camp.

Built for Year-Round, All-Weather Comfort

When the weather turns into relentless sunshine, sideways rain, or even falling snow, Hub 4XL is built to handle it. With our signature Tri-Layer roll-up walls, this tent delivers true four season performance. Think of it like your favorite down jacket, the Tri-Layer material is insulated and sonic-welded keeping things cool in the summer, warm and cozy in the winter, and fully waterproof to keep you dry always.

The roll-up wall panels give you complete control over your airflow and insulation. Keep them up on warmer days to vent heat, or roll them down when the temperature drops to trap warmth inside.

The integrated stove jack adds even more capability for colder environments. Drop in a wood-burning stove, and you've got a fully heated shelter ideal for winter camping or late-season hunts. Pair that with the half rainfly, which protects from unexpected storms while still allowing airflow to reduce condensation, and you've got a basecamp that's made for all-weather adventures.

Durable and Adaptable for Every Adventure

From quick weekend trips to extended stays, Hub 4XL is ready to flex with your plans. At 42 lbs, it's lightweight enough to transport and pack for weekend getaways yet tough enough to handle repeated use in rugged terrain.

The removable floor makes it easy to shake out dirt, clean up after muddy gear, or go floorless entirely when it suits your setup. The modular nature of the walls allows you to tailor the Hub 4XL to any environment. Roll them up, enjoy the breeze in a shaded shelter, or keep them zipped for a fully enclosed sleep space.

Thoughtful details like the integrated PVC window with an interior blackout panel let you enjoy the view or shut out the light so you're not disturbed by the first rays of sunshine. For added comfort, the Anywhere Camp Mat drops seamlessly into the Hub 4XL and adds an extra layer of insulation and padding, perfect for cold ground or rugged terrain.

Why the HUB 4XL Belongs in Your Basecamp Setup

The Hub 4XL delivers where it counts: fast setup and tear down, serious interior space, and durable, all-season protection. This tent is more than just a place to sleep, it's built for real comfort and everyday camp life.
