This design creates a spacious, open interior that maximizes available space and allows comfort to extend to the edges.Ideal for a family of 4 or a group of 5-6 (including smaller children), the Summit series is also available in 4P and 8P models with the flexibility to expand or reduce.
Quality construction and materials
The Summit 6 tent combines comfort and durability with aluminum poles and high-grade fabrics that provide rugged protection from wind and rain while remaining lightweight. With a significantly upgraded ground, rain cover, and mesh compared to standard economy tents, the Summit 6 tent offers superior durability and reliable protection in a variety of conditions. Top-of-the-line hardware, including sleek zippers and sturdy rain cover attachment buckles, add to the sophisticated, user-friendly design. For added ground protection, the Summit 6 tent footprint can be purchased separately.
Designed with comfort in mind
Designed for taller users, the CoreVibe Summit 6 tent is spacious enough to allow taller users such as Dave (6’2″) to move around freely. The tent features two oversized doors with four zippered sliders that make it easy for everyone to get in and out. These doors also simplify the process of moving large items, such as air mattresses and camping furniture, into the tent. When the canopies are attached, one door provides a large vestibule for storage and the other door is equipped with a small awning to keep out dripping water. Smooth zippers and practical side pockets for storing unzipped doors increase convenience.
Customized for groups
The Summit 6’s thoughtful design is sure to be a hit with families and group users. Large doors on both ends, ample perimeter storage pockets and a clip-in center divider provide great flexibility. With a center zipper and tie-down straps for easy adjustment, the dividers can be easily separated into private spaces or multi-functional areas. Whether it’s two couples, a family with children, or a duo looking to separate the sleeping area from the lounge area, Summit 6 has you covered.
Practical vestibule
The front vestibule of the tent serves as a “garage” for shoes and gear, keeping them dry and protected while keeping the interior clean. This feature makes the CoreVibe Summit 6 especially suitable for outdoor adventures.

Features Overview
Concealed storage and versatile porch design
The CoreVibe Apex 6 tent is equipped with a well-designed porch that can be opened halfway or fully, providing multiple options for entry. Porch by adding tarp poles and rigging (sold separately) The CoreVibe Apex 6 tent is equipped with a carefully designed porch that can be opened halfway or fully, providing multiple options for entry. By adding tarp poles and drawstrings (sold separately), the porch can be transformed into a handy awning to shade the front entrance. Or, you can pair it with CoreVibe Porch accessories or other canopies to create a shady outdoor living space perfect for relaxing at the campground.
Superior Ventilation for All-Weather Comfort
The Apex 6 provides superior ventilation whether the canopy is open or not. With the canopy removed, campers can enjoy an unobstructed view of the starry sky through the tightly woven mesh panels. The tent is equipped with four top vents that effectively circulate air and minimize condensation when used in conjunction with the canopy. Adjustable brackets keep the vents open, while cleverly designed zippers allow users to adjust the size of the vents from inside the tent. In fair weather, the canopy can be partially rolled up to improve air circulation, or the sides can be fully rolled up to strike a balance between privacy and ventilation.
Convenient backpack-style carry bag
The Apex 6 comes with an oversized backpack-style carry bag for easy carrying. This design eliminates the hassle of having to roll the tent up completely to fit in the bag. The carry bag has multiple built-in pockets for tent poles, stakes, and rain cover, reducing the possibility of losing components while traveling.
Attention.
High quality at a great price
The CoreVibe Apex 6 has a high price tag that reflects its quality materials and clever design. While it may not be suitable for those on a tight budget, regular campers and outdoorsmen will find it good value for money. The Apex 6 offers better weather protection and long-term durability than budget alternatives. For campers looking for a more affordable option, the CoreVibe Haven or similar budget tents may be better suited for occasional use. For those interested in other spacious and durable tents, consider reading reviews of the Nemo Aurora Highrise 4 tent.
Actual Capacity Expectations
While the Apex 6 is advertised as a 6-person tent, this capacity assumes a very compact layout. For maximum comfort, it’s perfect for 4 adults using inflatable mattresses, wide sleeping mats, or cribs. It can accommodate up to 5 people on standard sleeping mats, but 6 would be cramped. If you need more space, consider the 8-person version of the Apex, or opt for the 4-person version for smaller groups.
Windproof performance
Because of its high top, the Apex 6 is not suitable for windy weather. Although its sturdy aluminum poles are more durable than fiberglass poles, we recommend fully securing the tent and utilizing all drawstring points for added stability. Keep in mind that additional stakes and drawstrings may be required for a more secure pitch. For campers who are often exposed to strong winds, a low profile or four season tent may perform better.
Setting up the Apex 6
The CoreVibe Apex 6 strikes a balance between ease of use and stability. While it’s not designed for extreme weather, it performs well in typical sunny weather and sheltered camping conditions, making it a top choice for most outdoor enthusiasts. ### Slightly cumbersome setup
Since the CoreVibe Kingdom tent has multiple poles with wheels, pole clips, and sleeves, the initial setup takes a little bit of learning time. Still, the process is relatively simple, especially if you have a helper to help you. Once you get the hang of it, setting up the tent is quick and easy, and can be done in about 10-15 minutes. The latest upgrades to the Kingdom Series improve its setup experience, including color coding on the tent, rain cover, base and stand.
Pull cords not pre-attached
When a tent is properly staked, it has more interior space, better wind resistance, and smoother zippers. However, CoreVibe Kingdom requires you to connect all the ground stakes on first use. While this task is not difficult, it would be nice if the ground stakes were pre-attached. To securely attach them, we recommend using a bowline knot – a very practical knot for general camping.
Few tent stakes and drawstrings
Unfortunately, tent manufacturers often provide fewer brackets and drawstrings than are actually needed, and the CoreVibe Kingdom is no exception. In order to adequately secure the tent in windy or inclement weather, the Kingdom 6 requires up to 8 additional brackets and drawstrings. For optimal weather protection, we recommend that you purchase some additional brackets and drawstrings.
Summing Up.
The CoreVibe Kingdom 6 is a spacious, durable, all-weather camping tent designed to make group outings a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Its spacious interior, practical features, and high-quality construction make it a popular choice among camping enthusiasts. Despite the higher price tag, we believe that with its sturdy materials, thoughtful design and long-lasting performance, the Kingdom range of tents offers great value for money for frequent campers. If you’re looking for a quality, reliable camping tent, the CoreVibe Kingdom range is worth considering.
