This tent is AMAZING. So cute and perfect size for me and my boyfriend and 85 pound dog. I love the front and back screen doors and it’s so easy to pop up and folding down was so easy as well. Best tent I’ve ever owned 💚

This goes perfectly for our tent and helped us stay extra dry in two major thunder storms while camping! Definitely recommend it!

Setup was easy as I did a dry run at home prior to arrival at camp site. We used it for one very cold night in Southern California back in mid February. Nice to have a tent that can either be attached to rear of SUV or stand alone. We had no issues with condensation or anything like that though it wasn't raining the night we used it. It was a bit windy that evening and the tent held up well. The tent has plenty of room for 3 adults with lots of windows for ventilation. Only thing is i need to figure out how to enclose the lower two sides where the tent attaches to the SUV with rear hatch up. We have another camping trip coming up to figure that out. Otherwise, I like the tent very much.

*I’ll add more photos after additional trips, I spaced getting our set up from the outside & entry views* So after getting flashed flooded out of last the camping trip of the season, last fall ‘21 my husband and I were on the hunt for a new tent. Our camping trips involve 2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 little kid (& soon a third baby will be joining us) and 2 med/large dogs. We’ve been tent campers for years and have always camped along the Rocky Mountains in the US. Normally, we camp for a min of 3 nights up to 12 nights. Important features for us based on our trips are a tub style floor, large doors/high ceilings, space for all our gear, good rain tarp, & screened in area before entering the main tent. This Colman tent met most of those parameters, I was hoping to spend $200-$300 for a tent but this one ended up being $300-$400 in spring ‘22 This first trip we took was a 7 night stay to So. Utah near Bryce Canyon NP. The kids & I were going down a few days before my spouse so before we packed up to leave I made sure I could set up the tent on my own by trying it out in the backyard a few nights prior. Once we got there it took me 45-1hr to set up alone while 6 mo pregnant and having 2 littles running around. The hardest part to do alone is the initial 3 polls for the roof after that it’s just the uprights to elevate the tent up. The stakes are standard tent stakes, we always replace them with sturdier stakes which we did this time as well. It’s all color coded polls and sheaths so I didn’t really need to look at the instructions to assemble it but the instructions are good and clear too. From the photo you can see our initial set up. We didn’t have the dogs on this trip with us so we are missing their crates and I am standing in the entry with the door fully open. Pros: It’s so tall! We were able to hang up fans/lights at the very top center (there is also rings to hang things in each corner) and neither of us adults had an issue hitting it while getting dressed or needing to duck around it (we’re 5’8 & 5’10). The front doors opened up wide, at night when we didn’t want to unzip everything it was easy to duck in the door and be standing up right in the screened in entry, which also has a floor. Plenty of windows/venting options. We always camp with the rain tarp on but also have kids who still nap, being able to control the temp is vital, there is 5 windows in the interior and a lower floor vent at the furthest end & all the walls in the entry zip open to almost the floor. Floor was thick enough, and I cleared out rocks/sticks (the ground was red dirt/rock) but with how long the trip was and how often I’d be sitting on the floor helping kids get dressed we brought the floor mats. Plenty of space to get around. We had a double cot for the adults, a pack n play, and a smaller kid cot, 1 large luggage bag and 2 pop up laundry baskets in the main tent. Next year we plan on getting the cot bunks for the older kids and using a pack n play again, we will put the dog crates where the luggage is and move all that to the foot of our cot. I feel like we could grow into this tent and still not feel overly crowded. In the entry we had a chair for taking shoes on/off and 2 large tubs stacked on the other side with lots of room for all of us to get in and out at the same time. The tent door is massive, almost the whole wall zips away and has a large mesh pocket to stuff it into. There is 4 mesh pocket organizers, 2 up high & 2 down low opposite from one another. The are massive and had dividers sewn into them. They held all our keys, cords, flashlights/headlamps for 4 easily. Cons: I wish the rain tarp covered the sides of the tent a bit further down, it’s not a deal breaker but my preference. Sadly after a couple days I noticed a hole In one of the seams along the back of the tent, luckily it’s covered by the rain tarp but if you look in the pictures it’s clear the sewing machine just missed a few inches. The step up was a bit high for my toddler to get in & out of very easily but that’s somewhat expected with the tub style floor. Features we didn’t use: we didn’t use the zipper for the power extension. We don’t normally have anything in the tent to plug in, we use external batteries to charge items (sound machines, phones, headlamps etc) I’m sure it would be a nice feature. It’s right in the middle of the tent. I could see it getting in the way of arranging cots/air mattresses if you were using it and had a lot of people to sleep though. Overall impression: it’s a great family tent, I see us being able to use this till all the kids hit their teen years assuming we don’t experience another flash flood while camping.

I camp about a dozen different places a year in the Adirondacks, most times out of my kayak, sometimes out of the back of my car. I own about eight tents and I sometimes instead sleep in a flat-hammock. This cot-tent was appealing to me because sleeping on a cot is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground and/or hammock. I also loved the possibility of being able to sleep on my side and fall asleep watching the campfire. And with a cot, I’d have more flexibility on where I could set it up within the campsite (on ground that is too dirty or stony for a tent). This product consists of two packages – a package for the cot and another package for the tent. The cot had no setup instructions. The tent setup instructions were in Chinese – although they did have decent illustrations. It was not difficult to figure out how to assemble them. But there are many parts. After the first time, it takes me about fifteen minutes total to set both up – whereas a normal small tent takes half the time. I did not stake in the tent or tie it off on my first trip since there was no wind expected. I recommend you set this up at home the first time before you go on your trip. I’d say the product is reasonably designed, but I questioned the product quality. Water is kept from seeping between the cot and tent because the tent material overhangs the cot. The tent poles are aluminum, and they are all corded together. The screen mesh is fine – I think the mesh holes would be adequate against no-see-ums. IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone under five and a half feet tall should have no problem with this tent size. Over six feet tall, then you’d likely be uncomfortable. There is a hook on the ceiling of the tent to hang an LED lantern or flashlight. There is only one pocket inside. I normally sleep on my left side – so if facing the door of this tent, the pocket was at my feet. From this position, it is easy to unzip the door, swing your feet out and stand up without squishing your bladder too much. It took me about fifteen minutes to take down the cot-tent and store it in the carry bags. The tent carry bag should have been made a little bigger; the cot bag size is reasonable. When packed, the tent and cot is a reasonable size to take in/on my kayak. Design deficiencies that I see: 1) There should be another interior pocket inside the tent (at the other end) 2) The rainfly does not have grommets along the peak to be fastened to the poles. I’m concerned that poles will eventually rip through the rainfly. 2) The rainfly should be attached to the tent using clips instead of being fastened into the tent poles. The reason for this is as follows: I will often sleep with the rainfly off – but keep the rainfly attached to one end of the tent. That way, if it starts to rain at night, I could climb out, and quickly drag the rainfly over the tent and then attach the rainfly to the other end of the tent. With the fastening that the current design uses, you have to fumble around a bit in order to get the rainfly fastened. I’d like this step to be quick since I am getting wet while doing this fumbling. 4) There are no other windows when the rainfly is on – all you have is the one screen mesh door. This will make the tent a bit more stuffy when there is little breeze. However, when the rainfly completely is off, you have a great view (and breeze). I expect that I will often set up this tent-cot under a tarp, so that I can sleep with the rainfly completely off, even if it rains (as long as it is not windy). In fact, another idea I have is to set up a tarp nearby, but set up this tent-cot elsewhere. Then if it begins to rain during the night, I would just wake up, get out and drag the cot to be under the tarp. The cot is very light and easy to move once assembled (unless you tie down the tent). Also, if you plan to sleep in weather where the overnight lows get below about 60 degrees, you probably want to make sure you bring an air mattress or self-inflating pad to insulate you from the cold below the cot. I probably would have given this four and a half stars instead if I could. Reasons are the design deficiencies and perceived quality. The amount of time it takes to setup and teardown is also a bit annoying. Reasons why I chose this tent over other cot tents: 1) I did not want a tent that had extra poles to hold up the rainfly door - those designs are impractical because you'd still get water in the tent if it rained. 2) I wanted a great view right from where I would rest my head. 3) I wanted to be able to easily and quickly zip up the rainfly if it would start to rain. 4) I liked the open mesh design of the base tent without rainfly for situations where I could use the cot-tent combination without a rainfly. 5) I did not like any vestibules on the door because they would block my view - the view is very important to me. My thoughts after my first trip with this cot-tent: I really enjoyed sleeping in it. I faced the lake and the view was not blocked at all. However, I am not convinced about the rain protection, so I set this up under a tarp. This is probably the way I’d set this up most often. I am looking forward to using this on many upcoming trips.

Used this on a car camping trip to protect my cooking, eating, and hang out area. Worked very well in several thunderstorms with strong wind gusts. Kept my gear and myself dry and happy. The material is heavy duty, strong and water proof. It comes with 6 lines pre attached and 4 “ground hog” like aluminum stakes. Everything needed to set up for hammock camping or as in my case a kitchen hang out shelter. It does not require a ridge line as it has a reinforced sealed center seam. It has reinforced corners with loops that allowed me to use branches as poles. Each tie point has an adjustable line clamp that gives you the option to tighten up the tarp. I used taught line hitches for my adjustability, but tried the clamps also that worked well. A little on the heavy side and lacking more tie points as compared to premium tarps if taking backpacking, but I would say the heavy duty rip stop fabric gave me confidence in it holding up to strong winds. I’m very happy with my purchase.

The elastic in the poles was ripped when it arrived and it had to be fixed with a foot less rope than it was supposed to have. Pinholes in fabric on 3 sides from being folded.

For the size it's pretty lightweight, only has minimal wear and tear on the rain fly, and is totally sufficient for one person. I don't want a fancy tent and don't care about being able to stand up inside. This one gets the job done. I wanted a freestanding (no stakes required) lightweight net tent with a rain fly and preferably something low in a camouflage pattern. This checks almost all those boxes. It's a little lower than my waist at the highest point (I'm just under 6' with boots on). UCP sucks but at least it's faded and dull now, and you can paint over that anyway. It's about as lightweight as you can get without sacrificing size or durability. With only three poles, it's a very quick setup. The only sleeves are in the rain fly. The tent itself clips onto the poles. I could set it up with a blindfold on in under five minutes. Can't vouch for quality control in used products - it's always gonna be a gamble - but mine did come with the repair kit and is almost intact. Very satisfied. If you want something utilitarian, durable and stealthy, it's perfect.

This is the perfect shelter! Not only is the build really solid and able to handle plenty of abuse, but it’s by far the easiest tent ever to set up. 10-15 mins max. Handled camping in the desert like a dream

I like this tent. I hesitate to agree with the" ultralight" description, but it is also not heavy at all. For a tent with a floor and rainfly, it is very light. Set up is easy - there are only two poles to deal with, and a rainfly. Everything you need to set up the tent is included in a nice small package. It did pass my crucial "get it back in the bag" test. I hate products where it is impossible for a mere mortal to get them back in the carry bag. The ten is well thought out, the rain fly has a flow through vent on either end that props open with a velcro support. This provides airflow through the tent even with all the window flaps zipped shut. Theres a mesh gear loft that fastens to the interior roof of the tent and a small pocket for valuables at one end of the interior. There was plenty of space for me at 5'10" with at least another foot of room to laydown. the interior is wide enough to hold some gear in addition to your pad and sleeping bag. Hunters would be able to have their rifle inside with them. A bow might be a little tricky, but also doable. The sides of the rain fly can be staked out to provide a vestibule for gear or a place to cook over a small stove in the rain. While the tent will work as free-standing, you will want to stake it down with the included stakes - the light weight makes it a great target for the wind to blow it away when empty. The only thing missing would be a ground cloth for under the tent. I'm a firm believer in using them. However, I did not remove any stars for this omission, as it's pretty typical. If you are looking for a one person tent that is reasonably light, this is a very good choice. I plan to use it for a spike camp when elk hunting this season.

I was very happy with this product because it was the perfect size for myself and my husband and baby or if you have an older child there’s enough room. I love the little breeze window. I like how the opening extends out for more room to sit or walk on to. I thought I was going to have to use the cords and steaks-you use to hold it down in place more and I really didn’t need to because the sand was heavy enough when it was packed away in the side pockets of the tent, less work. I did put the steaks in the opening on the tent where you walk into though. That was necessary. The folding part is easy. Just make sure to watch the video and you’ll be able to manage. Over all very please how easy and convenient.

La entrega fue súper demorada, el producto no estaba mal pero si su funda donde venía estaba dañada, los trato de contactar y es imposible que me respondan los de la marca de la sombrilla, ya que soporte de whatcampingtent.com no pudo hacer nada al respecto!

I really enjoy this sunshade. Easy to put up and easy down if strong winds come up. I work as a medic on Film sets and it has worked perfectly to shade the back of my Ford Escape; my "working truck" in a variety of environments. Keeps my sunscreen and comfort care out of the direct sun and provides a shady spot to sit in locations where there is no shade. The weights for the legs are perfect on asphalt or sand where staking out would be difficult or impossible. Totally worth the money!!

I did not use the shower tent for its intended purpose but it is large enough and opaque enough to use as a shower for camping and whatnot. It was easy to put up and although you wouldn’t think you’d be able to fold it back up if you follow the instructions it does go back. If it’s very windy you will need extra reinforcements but aside from that I appreciated the quality of this product

I bought this tent for weekend fun at the park or to just escape and regroup. This one was much easier to set up compared to other tents. If you're having trouble just go to YouTube and search for this tent and you'll find some helpful videos. My only gripe were the stakes, which bent quickly. So I went to home depot and bought better ones for 7$ and now it's much more stable. The inside is very spacious. I'm 5 11 and I have plenty of room to lie in and store my possessions. The ventilation during warm days is decent but gets stuffy at times. Just open the window and air will come though just fine. There are openings on the sides and back so that helps aswell. Just use the guidelines for those areas and stretch the rainlfly with stakes so those opening can be ventilated. Now later in the day it's cool and relaxing . All in all I am really enjoying this tent. I hope it lasts.
