Offering exceptional room for your head and shoulders, The 3-season Kelty dirt Motel 3P tent offers you an unobstructed view of the backcountry if you peel back the protective rainfly.
The tent measures 85” x 70” (at its widest point), with a peak height of 43 inches. The interior space is 39. 6 square feet. It has two vented vestibules, which together protect almost 18 square feet of real estate.
The tent is supported by compact DAC Press fit poles. The setup for this tent includes two hubbed poles and one Ridge pole. This assembly creates vertical walls, which provide more overall Living space inside the tent, instead of a peak in the center.
The floor of the tent is polyurethane coated 70 denier nylon with a 3000 mm water resistant rating. No-see-um mesh walls provide ventilation and keep out unwelcome guests. Two doors provide flexibility and privacy.
The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site. The rainfly is 40 denier siliconized rip stop nylon rated to 1500 mm. All seams are tape sealed to further ensure weather protection.
Stargazing Fly system: quickly and easily roll up a portion of the rainfly. Secure the rolled fly with simple clips and you’re free to enjoy a view of the stars and reap the benefits of increased ventilation.
This tent includes Kelty’s Shark mouth stuff sack, designed to make stuffing easier, and reflective guy lines. The custom-fit Kelty dirt Motel 3P footprint (sold separately) can further protect your tent from wet ground, roots and rocks.

After an epic day of backcountry shenanigans, you deserve a relaxing spread without the seedy feeling of low ceilings and tight space. That's why our new, ultra-roomy dirt Motel basically gives you everything but the neon sign. Compact and lightweight, The dirt Motel features an ultra-spacious interior, plus a compact hub bed aluminum pole set for easy packing and lightning-fast setup. And the Kelby Stargazing Fly provides 100 billion reasons to stay up just a bit longer.
