Marmot Limestone Tent

Yes, it is a fully freestanding tent. This means you can set it up on hard surfaces like rock or packed dirt without needing to stake it out to maintain its shape, though we always recommend using stakes and guy lines for stability in wind.

With 82.9 square feet of floor space and a peak height of 76 inches, it is quite roomy. While it is rated for six people, it will be most comfortable for four adults with gear, or a family of five or six using sleeping pads.

No, the Marmot Limestone does not include a footprint. We highly recommend purchasing a compatible footprint separately to protect the tent floor from abrasion, moisture, and sharp debris, which will significantly extend the life of your shelter.

It is a 3-season tent, meaning it is designed to handle spring, summer, and fall weather. The full-coverage fly and seam-taped floor provide solid protection against rain, but it is not intended for heavy snow loads or extreme high-altitude winds.

The color-coded clips and poles make the setup process very intuitive, even for a beginner. While it is certainly easier and faster with two people, one person can manage the setup alone thanks to the straightforward design.

The vertical wall construction prevents the walls from sloping inward sharply, which creates significantly more usable headroom and shoulder space. This makes the interior feel much less cramped and allows you to stand up and move around more freely than in traditional dome tents.
