The tent has a lantern loop inside that you can use to hang your night lamps. It has two interior mesh pockets that I think is not enough especially when you have a lot of people staying.

The vertical walls offer plenty of space to move around inside and the rooftop mesh provides good ventilation and lots of stargazing opportunities.
