- I'm not sponsored by L.L. Beam! In this video, I review the incredible and massive 8-person L.L.Bean Acadia cabin tent and explain why I think it's a great choice for a large family.

Size & Portability
Right off the bat, this tent is massive. It's almost like a small house with 126 square feet, 14 feet long, 9 feet wide, and a height of 6 feet 10 inches. But when it's packed away, not only is it easily portable with the handles and wheels, but it's only 37 pounds.
Qualities
Much like a real cabin, the door is sturdy because within are poles, and once you close it it remains closed with magnets. Inside at the top middle is an area where you could hang your lantern, and it comes with many mesh zippable windows.
There are also built-in packets on the walls to keep things organized, and that tail end is actually a dog house. But we don't have a dog, so on our last trip my wife's idea was to use it for dirty laundry.
Durability
But one of the main selling points for this tent for me was its durability. I needed to know that this relatively high-dollar tent was going to last my family a very very long time where it would be worth it. The LL. Beam is made of 75-denier polyester with 1500 mm PU waterproof coating, extremely tough fiberglass roof poles, and steel legs.
When you feel this material, and steel legs, you'll know it's built to last. And when it comes to the fiberglass roof poles, I actually used to build trampolines for a company that used fiberglass, and it's basically one of the most durable things you could use that's also flexible and resistant to corrosion.
On our trips with it so far, this family camping tent has been nothing but amazing to us without any signs of wear and tear yet.
How to Set Up The L.L.Bean Acadia 8-Person Cabin Tent
So while all of its qualities and massive size are great, I know what you're thinking, you're probably intimidated by the setup process of this massive family camping tent or essential mini cabin. I was too until I finished putting it together the first time. But after the first time, I'm telling you, it's so much easier than it looks and takes me a rough average of 20 minutes putting it up, and a little less taking it down.
So first I'm going to show you the setup process, and after the tear down putting it away process. And unfortunately, the instructions I received were a little bit too vague for me. So this is the best and easiest way for me.

This was a good review. Thanks for putting it together and taking it apart. Not videos many give you both demonstrations.
I don't blame your wife for wanting more elbow room. That door is neat! A dog house??? I LOVE IT!!!!! I take my dogs with me everywhere I go & I am happy they thought of them too. Always set up your new tent at home for a test run!!! You did a great job setting it up and taking it down. Amazing how you got it all into that bag! That was like folding fitted sheets---impossible!!!! Thanks for introducing us to this awesome tent!
L.L. Bean definitely has some great gear, but this video brings back memories of walking into Sears and seeing their model tent display of canvas cabin tents. They made some great tents that were relatively inexpensive. Sad that poor/greedy management destroyed a great retailer and glad that L.L. Bean remains a well managed company..
My hubby Tony and I absolutely LOVE this tent for our camping trips!!! Can’t recommend it enough! 😃🌲🏕️💯
