Stronger, more stable, and built to withstand the harshest of conditions, the Big Agnes Mad House 8, 4-season, 8-person tent offers much more than standard mountaineering tents. They are the Everest base camp dining rooms, buttoned up Black Rock City roosts, and Vedauwoo wind refuges. The Mad House series is our biggest mountaineering design. Try one as an all-season, two-room condo with plenty of space to stretch out and relax on acclimation days, or as a place to serve pancakes to the entire summit team.

The Big Agnes Mad House 8 is an absolute game-changer for family camping trips! Spacious, durable, and incredibly easy to set up. We stayed dry during a surprise rainstorm, and the ventilation kept condensation at bay. Highly recommend!

This tent is perfect for large groups. The Mad House 8 comfortably fits 8 people with room to spare for gear. The design is thoughtful, and the materials feel premium. Worth every penny!
Emily Carter –
I love how lightweight the tent is for its size. Setting it up was a breeze, and the color-coded poles are a nice touch. The only downside is the price, but you’re definitely paying for quality.
David Lee –
Great tent overall, but it’s massive! Make sure you have a big campsite because it takes up a lot of space. The vestibules are a nice addition for storing gear outside the sleeping area.
Jessica Adams –
The Mad House 8 is perfect for our annual family camping trips. It’s sturdy, well-ventilated, and has plenty of pockets for organization. The only improvement I’d suggest is adding more guyline attachment points for windy conditions.
Chris Martin –
This tent is spacious and well-made, but it’s not the best for backpacking due to its size and weight. It’s perfect for car camping, though. The setup is straightforward, and the materials feel durable.

I’m impressed with the Mad House 8! It’s roomy, easy to assemble, and has excellent ventilation. The rainfly kept us dry during a downpour, and the tent stayed stable in the wind.
Kevin Brown –
This tent is a beast! It’s huge, well-constructed, and has all the features you’d expect from Big Agnes. The only downside is the weight, but it’s manageable for car camping. Highly recommend for large groups!
Rachel White –
The Mad House 8 is fantastic for group camping. It’s spacious, easy to set up, and has great airflow. The only issue I had was the tent pegs bending in rocky soil, so I’d recommend upgrading them.

This tent is perfect for family trips. It’s roomy, well-ventilated, and the materials feel high-quality. My only complaint is that the packed size is a bit bulky, but it’s worth it for the space you get.

This tent is a solid choice for car camping. It’s spacious, well-ventilated, and the setup is straightforward. My only suggestion is to add more stakes for better stability in windy conditions.
