Great tent for a small family!

Would Recommend

Setup and takedown was even easier than I expected! The size is good, fits our queen inflatable on one side and pack-n-play on the other with the feeling of room separation. I am disappointed that this doesn’t come with a ground tarp included, the bottom of the tent got very dirty and damp from morning dew and it was a mess packing it up. Would have been much better with the ground tarp so I ordered it separately after this trip. I’m just bummed I had to order it separately.

Must have Tent

Would Recommend

I bought this tent in late September. I tested it out in the back yard, and left it up for about 3 days while it rained. There was a little water that I believe came through the air intake, and stayed in that corner, but otherwise it was dry. Setup was about 2 minutes max. It is very stable, more so with the stakes. Just took it down today and the process was so easy. The carrying bag got two little tears while I was putting it in. I would highly recommend this tent, it is spacious, enough room ...

I bought this tent and set it up in my front yard. A little wind came up and blew it over. When I looked at it 2 of the end poles had split. There not in stock so now I have a tent i can't use

New tent - great quality!

Would Recommend

Set up initially in front yard all day in the summer heat and sun. Quality is great, not a thread or seam out of place. Quick/instant set up was doable for 1-person. When staked down the bottom vents really create a great draft through the tent - nice feature. Zippers all quality and work great.

Hates rain

Would Not Recommend

What’s the point of a tent that doesn’t keep the rain out….. seriously… why? Bad design for rainy weather, the rain filled up 2 inches while we were away from our camp site, it was fully set up with the rain fly and perfectly anchored with the rain fly on! Still… water everywhere.

good, could use another door

great size for car camping and easy set up/tear down. would be 5 stars if there was a door in each "room" rather than 2 doors on one end of the tent.

Great Tent Overall

Would Recommend

We bought this tent because we wanted something that would be easy to set up and would have enough space for 2 people and a large dog, without feeling cramped or claustrophobic with our camping gear on top of us. This tent is perfect size-wise and was a good balance between smaller 4-6man tents, and the overkill of 10-12man tents. Generally, the construction seems pretty solid and should last a long time - we used a 10x15 tarp tucked underneath as a footprint, and placed a rug inside that should...

Best camping upgrade I have made

Would Recommend

I bought this nine person instant cabin tent back in November of 2024 and it has honestly been one of the best camping purchases I have made. I live in South Florida and my daughter and I go camping at least once a month, sometimes twice. Before this we always used the traditional tent where you have to slide all the poles through and set everything up piece by piece. I wanted to try an instant tent just to see if it was really worth it and it absolutely is. The setup is incredibly fast. I can ...

Could be better for rain, overall Great for dry!

Would Recommend

Borrowed this from a friend for 5-day camping. "Instant" = so Easy, especially with another person helping me; this feature is The MVP. I loved the multiple entry- and all the window- options, so I could air out my tent really well when weather was good. The rain fly could be better/waterproof, as I definitely saw lots of little rain drops appearing on the tent floor somewhat regularly; it wasn't a hurricane either, it was just an average/moderate/steady rain for a few hours, then decreased to l...

Great summer tent

Would Recommend

I loved everything about this tent! The size is perfect for a glamping experience however the wind and rain put a damper on my review. The tent is perfect for summer weather but once the wind kicks up so does your lack of coverage. The wind blows through this tent leaves no coverage. We camp usually on the shoulder seasons, spring and fall. I recommend this tent if you'll be protected from harsh elements. I camp very close to lake Michigan which makes weather happen without much notice and chang...

Wonderful Family Tent

Would Recommend

We used this tent for the first time this week. We are a family of 5…2 adults and 3 kids. The tent was a quick and easy setup with straightforward instructions. It is easily setup with two people and could even be setup with only one person without difficulty. There are plenty of screen windows to keep airflow throughout the tent, and the screens and zipper doors keep bugs out. We have been fighting red ants at our campsite, and they are trying to get into the tent, but when we zip the door comp...

Easy setup, great size, would recommend!

Opened the box at the campsite and setup for the first time in less than 15 minutes. No more stringing poles together and feeding through loops, this thing makes car camping a breeze! Size is great, big enough for a Q air mattress or 2- cots, with the entire other side available. We had a pop up camp table with a box fan setup and roo for changing. Very spacious. Weather was amazing, so I havent tested weatherproof durability but will be taking it out again next month too. Would highly recommend...
