Ratings & Reviews for Core 40072 11 Person Family Outdoor Camping Cabin Tent with Screen Room Red

Pro Tip before you

set up this tent wear gloves and wipe down the fiberglass poles with a damp cloth to clean loose splinters from shipping. Other than that this tent is amazing. The screen room is big enough to set up a foldable picnic table when there are a lot of bugs and the sleeping area is spacious enough for large beds and side tables. I just wish this style tent had Core's Instant Up system and built in lighting. It is still easy enough to set up though. Other features I like are great airflow, taped seams...

Overview with experience

I want to give this 5 stars. I have not used the item yet and I am hoping the quality will hold up to the 4 star rating. If the website allows updating, I will update when I use the tent. We set up the tent fairly easy for not being familiar with the tent. I would say 15 to 20 min. I am sure we can get the setup down to 10 to 15. It will require two people for that time frame unless there is zero wind. Tent is nice and light so if you are trying to do it on your own, you definitely need to stake...

Will not handle wind

Front screen room can not handle wind. We had a windy camp weekend, nothing out of ordinary or what would be considered inclement weather. Front screen room suffered two pole failures. Size and tent is very nice though. Very unfortunate it could last more than one trip. I believe it to be a design flaw in from screen room.

Perfect family tent

We bought this tent for our family of 3 to go camping this summer. It has so much room and we love that we can stand up in it. The screen porch is great for our kid to play in during the day and works even better as the adult hang out spot when she goes to bed. Customer service is also amazing. The first tent we got ripped the first time we’re setting it up and I emailed the company and they took care of it right away!

Great tent, plenty of room

Great tent, plenty of room and the screened area is actually usable.

First time setting up is tough

Setup the tent for the first time last night. It took a lot longer than expected. I watched a YouTube video and have to believe there was some editing that took place. It took roughly forty minutes to set this up due to how the poles go into the plastic sockets. You have to bend them just right to get them to slide all the way in. I’m hoping this gets easier with practice. The tent itself seems very nice and durable. I’ll know more next week after our first trip in it.

Tent was very easy to

Tent was very easy to set up. The screen room is a great feature. Tons of room even after our 28” high queen bed is inflated. The screen on the roof is messed up out of the box. Little disappointing for such an expensive tent

Hard to set up and

Hard to set up and tiny stakes kept pulling out of ground

Loved it!

Spacious, easy for me to set up by myself. But a roof pole broke the second time I set it up…hoping to find a replacement for it.

“Cabin” in the woods!

Love this tent. Ordered it for some ultra comfortable car camping in the Sierras for a week. We (very comfortably) fit a queen air mattress, the dog’s bed, our clothing bags and even a table for our morning coffee in the main portion. The main room has the most wonderful screened ceiling. Perfect for star gazing in bed at night. The solid walls with zipper screen windows are perfect for when you want some privacy. The screen patio was perfect for dirty clothing, as a “mud room” and for enjoying...

Core cabin tent

Camped for 10 days in Maine with the Core 11 person cabin tent. We were very happy with the tent. My only reservation is that we didn’t have any rain so I don’t know how it’ll do with inclement weather. My sense is that’ll do just fine by looking at the design of the tent. I would recommend this tent.

Can't live like a king without a palace!

Ho-ly cow... this thing is HUGE! When I first decided to go with this tent over the similar instant-up tent I was a little worried I had made the wrong decision. Yes, it takes a lot longer to set up and tear down, but in my opinion it is WORTH it when you realize the real-estate you're creating. Things to note: We have a family of 5, camp a few times a year, and typically stay on site for 3-4 days (an extended weekend or longer). The GOOD: --The space... it's incredible to have headroom and w...

Did not hold up in rain

Disappointed that the tent leaked when it rained. It was our first time using this brand and we aren’t impressed.

Nice tent

I only have 4 people in my family but wanted a tent that would grow with us (and our stuff). Some of the things I was looking for during my research were: screened in porch with a sealed bottom, large interior space to fit 4 comfortably, random perks like hanging pockets/pouches, an electricity flap for plugging things in, easy setup, and affordability. I think this tent crossed those things off! While I wouldn’t think you’d actually want to fit 11 people in here, you probably could, though it ...

Very Happy!

We recently used our tent and we absolutely love it! Very well made and very large.

Amazing Tent!!!

We have been tent campers for over 30 years. This is a really nice sized tent. I bought this tent for my husband and myself, and it is huge, we have a large Coleman off the ground bed it fits in there perfectly and there is still plenty of room for when the grandkids come with us. I love the screened area, it allowed us to move our whole kitchen prep operation inside when it was raining. When out tent first arrived we waterproofed it even further and we will apply more waterproofing every year. ...

Score of 9

I absolutely love this tent! Best one I've ever owned. It's been thru wind, rain and heavy down pours and stood the test. One of the storms, after about 8 hours of continuous rain we did start having some drips inside the main cabin. Luckily it was time to get up anyway. The only other issue is the vent at the bottom of the front doors. You have to keep cloth away. Anytime it rains it seems to get in there a little bit. Nothing I can't live with, suggest they do away with it. There is plenty of ...
