Very easy set up, (in 10min) tarp is perfect size for 2ppl, tarp is light weight, and good shape for any style. (might possible to connect with tent) Those 2 Poles are heavy duty, I upgraded some parts for easy setup.(in picture). I highly recommend this product for any outdoor activity with car.

Quick and easy to assemble on the beach lightweight to carry, and I really enjoyed my time at the beach

Tried this beach tent for the 1st time. Pros: 1. Easy to install 2. Strong 3. Can handle wind 4. Can be used in grass and beach

I feel timid when trying to stretch the tent end to the two poles that run through the top to support erection of item. But I managed with the help of another. Tent can be setup in a short time. Decent item, only used it for 15 minutes, so as to ensure I had everything. Will revisit review after several uses.

This tarp will make a good ground tarp. The tie-outs at the corners are well-stitched and reinforced. Please note however that to make a big square tarp the manufacturer joins two pieces. If you plan to use this as an emergency shelter, there are only four options due to the tie-outs are only at the corners. This is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I will be taking this in my day pack as I know that I can rig up a sun or rain cover, use it as a ground tarp when I have lunch and in a pinch, set up a shelter with it.

I chose this after looking at many options in the same price range and higher. This was the largest size, with a floor attached, a true circular(hexagonal) shape instead of more rectangular like some, and the height. It came in a carry zip up bag with handles. The poles have their own bag inside and the stakes. Paracord was included to stake down. Their is also a rain guard I believe that covers the top as a second layer. The zippers work well so far. Setup is possible with 1 person. Cant attest to durability at this point.

This is a great car camping tent! Biggest tent I've owned so far. Nice srand up height inside and on the screened in porch. Not hard to setup. Seems really well thought out and designed. I love the zip up windows for improved ventilation and viewing. A lot of companies/designs these days do away with them by using big mesh panels covered by the rain fly which makes the tent lighter simpler and cheaper to manufacturer, but much less versatile. Weathered a couple hour long overnight thunderstorm with no water inside the tent and only a little water on the porch floor. There is a drain panel between the porch floor and the main tent that keeps any water from the porch from wanting to get into the tent from that side. Would definitely recommend.

Update: 6/3/2024: I was impressed that the company reached out to me. They are implementing some suggestions made in my original post and explained that the tent sides have to lean in due to the poles and the easy-up design, while trying to not make the tent heavier and more cumbersome. If you take minimal things camping, you’ll probably love this tent! So, I upgraded to 3 stars. To me, 3 stars means the product met all basic expectations. As it set up smoothly, kept more bugs out (that weren’t inside already - but I took a solar powered bug zapper for the inside ones), kept me dry, and it allowed me to block the early morning sun coming in by zipping the cover on the door’s screen in the morning. The company offered a suitable solution to me, which I REALLY appreciate, and it makes me feel even better about them as a source to try again. I like companies that stand behind their products! That was common when I grew up and so is very appreciated when I find it these days. Original review: I’m reviewing the Toogh 3/4 Person Camping Tent with Instant Setup Tent, Weatherproof Cabin Tent. I used a sturdy waterproof tarp underneath and a moving blanket inside for extra cushioning on the tent floor. It was easy to pop up by extending the poles, but that does NOT secure the tent. The rest is not instant! The instructions had no suggestions on the best way to orient the tent, how to best anchor it with the tent stakes, how & when to attach the rain fly (tip, if you’re height challenged, attach it before you extend and lock the 4 poles), how & where to attach and how to use the guy lines… Those instructions all are needed for new campers - or those returning to camping after decades away - like me! Cell service was poor, so it was hard to find instructions needed to set up the tent. It ended up taking well over an hour! That’s ridiculous! I bought this tent because it was to be quick and easy. Ha! Help a customer out, folks! Include all the directions! (Tip: take pics when you lay it out flat to start to have as a reference when packing up at the end.) The biggest disappointment for me is that the 8’ x 8’ footprint rather shrinks because the tent sides are all angling inward, so if using cots, there isn’t 8’ across for it at the height of the cot’s mattress. Couple that with knowing that nothing should be touching the insides of the tent in case of rain (which was a likelihood), then the useable space shrank further. When my cot was placed far enough from the tent wall to not be touching the tent wall along the length of the cot, then the head & foot of the cot were touching the two adjacent walls. So, the cot had to be placed on an angle to not touch any tent wall. That rendered the space behind it inaccessible. I don’t think two cots would have fit. You may be able to lay 4 sleeping bags on the floor of the cot, but it would not leave room for the campers’ belongings too. Once inside the tent, if the window coverings are unzipped, there are no ties or Velcro to hold the flaps, so they got in the way. (hint: take clothespins or big binder clips). The storage bags on the tent sides to hold things were located on the floor level, making them inaccessible from lying on a cot. I had the rain fly on, and the window coverings were down (the screens are always in place on the windows) but I’d guess it was easily 10 -15 degrees warmer in the tent in the morning than the air temperature outside - but it was very humid that day! I thought with the low ventilation flap & the rain fly over the top of the poles, that heat would rise and escape, bringing in cooler air from below, but that didn’t happen. My expected cool sleeping temperature wasn’t felt. Honestly, if I could return it I would, but it was used once. Do yourself a favor and fold a large blanket or cover into an 8’ x 8’ square and then shrink it in both directions for not touching tent walls with anything. If using a cot, shrink that size even further because a cot is higher off the ground than a sleeping bag, and the walls are leaning inward, so the higher your cot, the less space there is for it. Then place on the remaining space on the cover whatever you’d want in your tent, and see if it all fits. If for one or two campers with sleeping bags & few personal belongings, it’d likely be great. I wanted room for other things (yes, more of “glamping”: food storage, dog crate, chair, clothes, etc.) and this did not work for me.

I’ve now used this for 4 years during fall and early winter camping, and there is no tarp like it anywhere! My tent was getting old and the rain fly has holes, so I bought this to cover the tent and create some outdoor covered space using poles and elastic guy- lines. It’s still in pristine condition even after enduring weeks of 30+ mph winds, rain and snow, as well as high elevation sun. It’s a nice medium heavy weight, does not tear and the seams are still solid. And even after all this time it still easily folds up and fits into the small storage bag it came in. I wouldn’t buy any other tarp.

At 1.55 pounds including stakes right out of the bag, this tent is great for one person. The lightest weight tent I own, and at $170, is far cheaper than dyneema trekking pole tents. It does require seam sealing before use; be sure to choose seam sealant designed for sil-nylon so it sticks. Mine included a nice curved syringe for application. I was curious about the quality, but it seems to be very well made, the bathtub bottom seems waterproof. After the first setup, it was super easy. If you are familiar with trekking pole tents you should have no problems. Just remember to stake out the bathtub bottom at 45° angle to the tent first, then the fly corners, then put in the trekking pole to raise the body. The vestibule and fly wall stakes last. Quadzilla is taking this tent on the Appalachian Trail and loves it; great performance.

I LOVE this tent! it’s so cute and durable! on our last trip, there was a really bad storm but the mushroom prevailed! super easy setup as well! 🍄🏕️

This was a love hate relationship with the clam in the beginning. My husband and I did read the instructions on the box. But apparently when we took it out of the box and when we started unfolding the clam it was either already twisted as per some people have mentioned or we had it turned the wrong way. Long story short after two days of trying to untangle this mess as seen in the picture, my husband had to take it apart and reconnect the poles back in place once the mesh part was untangled. He was not going to let it defeat him and he was not sending it back. No way was that clam going back into a box in the mess we had it in. Finally he got it back to how it was suppose to be and the set up took less than two minutes. The Clam Quick Set Escape is easy to set up and take down I do it by myself when camping. I use a 12x12 tarp in mine for the floor, the wind panels for the windows are awesome and add privacy when needed. This size clam I have fit up to 10 folding chairs inside and makes a great camp kitchen and a place to store my camp items.

It was not what I ask for . It was to small

I have had the Northern Breeze for 6 seasons and much of that time has been spent in the Outer Banks of NC beaches where it has been exposed to constant sun and storms and winds that have sent MANY lesser sturdy builds to the campground dumpster. This tent is AMAZINGLY well designed and constructed. It recently got pummeled for 12 hours by a storm system over the east coast and shed everything that storm threw at it like it was nothing. I do want to address a couple of issues that I've seen on here and the first one is the design issue that causes water to collect when one of the side flaps is staked with the three tarp poles. If you look at this photo you will see how I resolved that issue, but it doesn't have to be done so formally. I just needed it to work in very tough conditions with wind. On either side of the flaps, midway from the tent to the pole, I sewed a piece of Cordura onto the flap and put a grommet in it. From that, I use a bungee cord to hang a sandbag that I made and fill with sand or rocks or dirt wherever I'm camping. This creates a gutter for the rain to shed from the flap and so far it has worked in the WORST of weather. I try to dig a small hole under the bag so that the draining water will collect and either drain or sometimes I'll dig a little channel for it to run off in. I do not leave these hanging unless it is going to rain as I don't want to stress the tent seams if I don't have to, but so far the corners of the tent are not showing any signs of distress from this. The second thing I want to address is the few complains about being rain proof. For the first five seasons this tent did not leak a drop inside. However, in the sixteenths year it started to wick water through in sustained rain and that would eventually drip inside. So, I waterproofed it with Star Brite waterproofing spray using a garden sprayer and it is once again completely water-repellant except for minimal seam dripping that I will take care of with seam sealer. Given what this tent has endured, especially the beating sun, I think it has given more than a person should ask for. This tent is really a marvelously designed piece of equipment. The flaps on four sides are brilliant. I take the other three sides and extend them tarp style with no poles so as to shed water even more. If I got five years out of this beast I would call it an exceptional value, but I had neighbors at one campground who had one that had been going for 13 years and it still looked strong and study. I expect I will get the same from this one with proper care. That proper care may include a sun fly to keep the original roof from deteriorating due to the UV exposure my kind of beach camping puts this thing through.

I ordered the 210 cm/ 2.1 m version of these, as the height matched my application perfectly. However, they are shorter than advertised by about 7-8 cm. The tip of the grommet point is nearly 210cm and perhaps this is what was meant but this is not what the photos and description seem to show. Apart from being a little short, (I may end up ordering the longer size to get that last few inches of headroom), they seem nice and sturdy. I bought these as they collapse smaller than many other poles of similar lengths and fit into the bag with my Nemo bugout shelter I purchased them for.
