*REVIEW* Molly's Gowonagin Camp Tent


Molly's 2007 Camp Tent sold for $72, it later retired in 2011.

 Summer camp tent. Wooden floor planks. Pipe frame. Canvas shell. Red stitching around tent. Red straps to tie open window flaps on tent sides, door, and sides. Sides Red "TENT NO. 6" on front right; Camp Gowonagin symbol at the top. Camp Gowonagin logo (red sun setting between two blue trees and two silhouetted white canoers in a blue canoe) on lower right-hand corner on the left side. Stairs; two buttons play camp sounds and the Camp Gowonagin song.


It's really sturdy and doesn't fall over, contrary to reviews I've read. It goes together pretty simple.

I'd like for it to be taller so a doll could stand up inside. All Molly can really do is sit or lie down. The musical steps provide good long sound clips much like her stage and screen, but aren't totally necessary.


The steps just sort of sit in front of the tent and don't connect any how. The Camp Gowanagin graphics are super cute and just like in the book. Her camp uniform and paddle are all why I wanted this set, it reminded me of the PC days. The actual tent material is quite heavy, nice and thick. In all I rate A-. I wish it was taller but understand why it's not. Still it's well made and from the books so it probably deserves an A.
