Customer Reviews With Photos

You can tell from the photos that the wind is blowing pretty hard. The tent is pushed in on one side, but that was OK because it protected my husband from the wind and we were all able to put our things inside while we were enjoying the beach. We took it with us on our cruise and I have to say it was a purchase we all appreciated. No need to purchase beach chairs. We found a nice open spot away from crowds and had a shady spot to watch the waves and you can even zip it all the way up and change if need be. It was perfect! The inside has mesh pockets to put anything you need on hand. We put our drinks, sun screen and seashells in there and the pockets on the outside were great because we filled them with sand and it didn’t move. It’s pretty lightweight, so easy enough to carry long distances and it has tent pegs too in case you have a grassy area to pop it up in. It is SO easy to set up but you definitely need some fitness for putting it back. The directions do help, you just don’t want to force it because it could potentially cause damage or create integrity issues. We also love the extra loops on the outside, as you can see from the pictures we added a little sun block of our own as an extra shield and that worked fabulously as well as for hanging wet items. All in all, LOVE this tent!

This tent has been absolutely awesome for me! I've used it probably 30 times already for camping and backpacking over the last few years, and it has held up and kept me totally dry through crazy storms with heavy downpours (on at least 5 different trips), wild winds and hail. It's roomy for one person and perfectly cozy for two smaller people. (I'm 5'5" and 115 lbs, and I've shared it with my husband who's 5'8" and 140 lbs. Setup and breakdown is super easy and fast, even by myself (takes less than 5 mins every time, and it's easy to get back in the bag. I've loaned it to friends and they've loved it too. It's super nice to have two doors, ventilation options, multiple interior pockets and a way to hang a light or store things from the ceiling. It's tall enough for me to sit up inside comfortably. The ONLY thing that would make it more perfect is if it could be even lighter in weight. I have taken it backpacking many times anyway and it has served me well (even when friends' more expensive backpacking tents were leaking in the rain or taking a long time to set up and break down), but it's definitely not in the category of "ultralight" for backpacking. It's still a super great tent for the price if you're needing something that will hold up in crazy weather, and that's relatively light, compact and easy for camping and backpacking. I've found it to be totally reliable and very well-made. Only after 30 uses are the stakes starting to break and the bag ripped, but the tent itself has still held up incredibly well so far and seems to still have lots of life left in it.

BLUF: This thing was everything I would expect for the price and more. Having never put up one of these, I watched a video and put it up in about 25 minutes. Take down was a little longer to get it to fit back into the bag but it does as the bag is oversized. The quality of the materials seem to be high as it withstood a tent stove and lots of traffic over a two day period. The flooring is tough and can be placed on rougher terrain than most tents. The Good: Goes up quick and putting this tent up is intuitively easy. Take down is just the reverse. The space is awesome. I got a queen size bed inside and had space for a table and chairs in addition to the tent stove. We even had a large rug at the entrance of our “glam tent.” Easily the talk of the campsite was our enormously beautiful tent. Add some furry blankets and lighting and I felt like a king making a palace for my queen. Stakes are great quality The Bad: Manufacturer should make their own video- I had to use another company. A little heavy but not surprised considering the size. More of a warning to smaller, less physical people. I’m 5-11” 230 and hit the gym a lot so while heavy, it wasn’t bad, I could see moving this would be a 2 person job for smaller people. The space was great but just adding 12” of wall would make bending over at the edges less of a thing while increasing window size for circulation. Overall: I highly recommend this tent for glam camp experience. It will not disappoint.

I had a 3 person tent and upgraded to this 4 person tent so that my cot would fit better. Spacious inside enough to fit 2 people comfortably. Easy set up and take down even with one person. Struggled a little bit putting on the rainfly, but it was manageable. Feels like a sturdy tent with plenty of windows. I rain tested it in my backyard today since rain was in the forecast all day. Seems to be leak free for the most part, but I did find some sizeable droplets by the door which could have been from the zipper area. One questionable component was expanding the center bar. I didn’t hear or feel a click of it locking in place, but it has stayed in place. Overall, so far so good. I hope going forward it was worth the money. It is more of a pricier tent.

Takes 20 seconds to setup without looking at the manual. The tent is sturdy built and can stand in wind well. Love the pockets and zipper designs update: make sure to press down the top to fully expand the tent! I wasn't sure how to do it and the seller was super helpful answering my questions - they even sent over a demo video

This tarp worked great. I just spent 5 days at Cuyahooga National Park it rained every day and 4 of the nights I stayed there . My tent and I stayed dry it was a great adventure and addition to my outdoor gear. The tarp is made of nice materials and repels the rain. Happy journeys to you IJN

Easy set up/take down, YKK heavy duty zippers make it easy to get in and out with no snag. The first trip out in the tent I got hit with a bad storm and heavy wind for almost 3 hours, and everything stayed dry. Had the wall taking the hardest gusts (30+mph) collapse one time, BUT that was because the pad at the campground kept me from using the guy lines. Easily preventable if you tie out. So many windows, so it’s great for getting a good breeze inside, but even being stuck inside for the storm with the rain fly and all windows and doors shut, I never felt stuffy. Even took a nap I would 1000% recommend this tent to anyone

This is a pretty cool shower or bathroom tent. At 5lbs and being a 22 inch circle when collapsed, I don't think anyone will be hiking with it. For campsites or outdoor activities, it should be really nice to have. Hopefully you can put it in some shade because the black color will be hot. However there is a reflective silver coating on the inside, kind of like a sun shade, that may help with the heat. If you're showering, heat may be nice. The top is mesh which will let heat out and keep bugs from coming in. There's a cap you can stretch over the top that should make it rainproof. Also, there are two little windows/vents you can open at the top (no mesh), but you'll need to be 6ft tall to look out of them. Speaking of, I'm 5'8" and I have an extra 6" above my head before I touch the mesh. You get everything you might need in the kit. It has a sheet to cover the ground so you don't get muddy. The corners of it and the tent have loops that are made to have tent stakes driven through them to secure it. The stakes are included, a well as guy lines to secure it in wind. There's a cool organizer that hangs inside and has six slots in it to put your stuff. There's also a line inside that you could hang a towel or bathing suit on. For some reason, there are two more pockets down low on opposite sides. I guess you could put something with a little weight in them to help secure it if you don't use guy lines, but they're just sewn in and not very strong. Also included are 4 very cheaply made drawstring bags of the same black material. I guess they could hold your soap bars. There's a decent carrying bag to hold everything in but it could tear pretty easy, like everything else. Overall, I would still say it's decent quality for where it was made. So I have two big negatives: Difficulty collapsing it, and I didn't receive any instructions. For starters, I'm not very good with these big hoop things like sun shades that you have to bend and twist to collapse them. With that said, I spent a very frustrating 20 minutes trying to pack it back up. The only instructions I could find are in the original whatcampingtent.com listing. It says not to twist it, it should naturally go back into circles. Oh boy. It finally, finally(!), ended back up going into 3 circles that stacked up in the original size. I'm not even sure how I did it. I think the trick is to keep pushing the top end loop into the base and try to pull it around inside of itself, making it smaller and smaller. This wouldn't be very easy for a smaller person. Remember, there's 4 sides and 2 hoops you're manipulating around. It doesn't require a lot of strength, its just very awkward. Hopefully you can do better than I. If I tried to make a video of it, it would be rated R, lol. I'm sure I'll get better at it, though. There's a Frenchie in the pictures to help with scale. At 5'8, I could shower in it, and there would be plenty of room if you use it for a bathroom with a small portable toilet. There are some versions of this that cost more and some a little less, so I think the $39 this one is currently listed at is a pretty good value.

First, this is a well designed and constructed spacious tent. We purchased a NTK Laredo GT tent two years ago after much research and we were thoroughly pleased with our experience with the Laredo (I posted a 5 star review for the Laredo on whatcampingtent.com on Sept 22, 2016 under SAJ). We wanted a large tent with two doors and windows with good ventilation. We knew that NTK was a quality brand so we did not hesitate to purchase the Super Arizona and we're happy with the result. We set up the Arizona a mere 30 feet from our home on our ideal location which happened to be hard packed gravel. Why this location you ask? You would have to know our neighbor! To protect the bottom on the tent I laid down 6 and a quarter sheets of 1/2" plywood (actually 19/32" exterior plywood purchased from Lowe's). One sheet had to be cut lengthwise and a quarter sheet from the seventh sheet to complete the 10' x 20' footprint. A tarp then went on top before assembling the tent. Pitching the tent was pretty straightforward thanks to the color coding of the poles. A note on the poles. Several reviewers said that they broke poles while erecting them and others said that this tent is pitched easily with one person. Unless you are very experienced at this I would recommend getting help at least with raising the two red crossmember poles. I had help raising them and even then felt sure at one point that the pole would surely snap. Thankfully it did not and the rest went smoothly until time to put on the rainfly. We tied two guy lines to one end and pulled it over quite easily. As you can see in the photos, we had an Intex queen size (22" high) air bed, an Intex 6 foot long air couch(34" high), and a card table with two chairs set up in the tent with room to spare! Due to the slope of the tent anything with any height will have a gap between it and the wall. The bed and couch had a gap of 12 to 18 inches depending on where you put them (end or side wall). This, of course provides room for clothes or other gear. We also had three 5'x 7' area rugs for comfort and extra insulation and an extension cord (with GFI for safety) to power a laptop, a coffee maker, and a Lasko squirrel cage type fan. That fan really puts out a tremendous amount of air even on the lowest of three settings. As you can tell we were not roughing it by any means. Oh, we also had a 4x4 (13'x13') DD tarp set up and our NTK Laredo set up as a dressing/ hygiene tent. There's much more that I could write but suffice it to say that this is an excellent tent. We had no leaks at all even with several days of rain and wind. We would highly recommend this tent! Wish list: Include metal poles (similar to the door canopy poles) to elevate the windows for more than a 25% view. Make windows accessible from the inside. Make inside height at least 6'-5" the entire length not just the very center where the poles cross. Make the door canopy wider than the door opening to prevent rain from entering the tent when the canopy is extended. Not complaining. Just wishing! 🙂 The picture shows how the windows can be simply modified for a full view instead of the partial view as provided by NTK. Shown is something that I put together in just a few minutes using two tree branches about 66" long used as vertical supports and one horizontal branch which is needed to redirect and support the tent guy line. For those who may be wondering, the picture of the tent with the tarp and Dutch oven tripod is showing the NTK Laredo Tent which we used in addition to the NTK Super Arizona. .

It’s a good tent for single-person, or two in an emergency. I like how compact it is to carry, lightweight and easy to setup. It doesn’t have much ventilation mesh and no side windows, so it gets very hot inside for hot climates. When I first bought it, I setup in my garage and sealed all seams and treated the fabric with waterproofing spray. But then first heavy rain, it got wet inside and made our mattress wet. Water was seeping/wicking through the bottom/side fabric.

I purchased this tent for Easter weekend camp out with my kids and friends. I set up the tent ahead of time to make sure everything was in working order. All parts accounted for, but for one metal stake that was bent. The set up was super easy and quick, but I didn’t expect the interior of the tent to be filthy with dirt and dog hair. One window screen has a few minor snags. The walls show signs of wear and feels grimy inside. It’s still solid, but I wish I would have known it was a used tent before I bought it.

The XL Floor is a lot more sturdy than I expected. It's made like a Zodiac boat and I'm very confident it will last a long time. I'm planning to use this when we go on overlanding trips and I was hoping to use my tire inflator pump so I didn't purchase the Acacia Pump. I didn't realize I would need a special adapter to inflate the floor but I found the one in the link below that fits perfect. Vkinman SUP Pump Adaptor... https://www.whatcampingtent.com.com/dp/B0BG745S3T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It does take quite awhile to inflate, I thought it wasn't inflating at first, but once inflated it is very solid. Me, my wife, and our three dogs were on it at the same time and the floor didn't deflect at all. I'm about 230 lbs and my largest dog is 100 lbs. Probably going to bring a mattress for sleeping incase the floor is too stiff but hoping to get away without them. It is very heavy. Not as heavy as a 12ft Zodiac boat but it does weigh over 60 lbs and while I can carry it, I wouldn't want to carry it more than 10 yards. The floor and the tent together are over 100 lbs so you may want to factor that into your decision to purchase depending on the max load weight of your vehicle. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and now I know why it was so expensive.

We camped during the remnants of Hurricane Helene. It poured non stop and was extremely windy. These stakes held the entire 3 days. This is a first time that stakes haven't pulled out during excessive rain! If you camp, these are a must!

I had one of these pop-up sun shelters a long time ago so already had a general idea of how to set it up. This one works pretty much the same and I had it set up in less than 30 seconds (not counting staking it down - which isn't usually necessary when using it on soccer game sideline with a couple of chairs in it). The material is a little thinner than a tent, but I expected that for the price. It fit both adult size camp chairs. Carry bag is a little smaller and about the same weight as my camp chairs . I like that it will zip up for privacy in case somebody has to make a quick clothing change. It was very easy to take back down, lightly pull the poles apart at the hinge where you expect them to bend. Otherwise they are locked in place. Maybe there are instructions with it. I didn't see them. I think with gentle treatment this will last a long time.

This tent is really nice. The 60 second setup is fairly accurate. Pumping it took me maybe 30 seconds to have it filled hard. Taking everything out of the bag and figuring out where it goes takes more than a minute. With the stakes and the strings, it’s more like 5-10 minutes to have it all the way up. It’s very light and easy to move, the air support system works well. It’s not as stiff and supportive as a pole frame tent, but it’s plenty adequate for holding itself up. Not quite stable enough to lean against the corner, that’s the trade-off. The elastic tunnel that goes around the tailgate zips on and off, so it’s not laying there flopping when not in use. This comes with a small projector screen that covers the front door, for watching movies inside the tent, a cool feature. Deflating this, I just removed the cap and an explosion of air comes out, the tent falling into itself neatly. It has to be folded a certain way for the air to roll out. The first way I tried it, it was ballooning. I rolled from the adjacent side and it worked fine. I had to cinch the pulls tight, but I was able to get it back in the bag my first try. It’s not as compact as it was brand new, but it zipped all the way thanks to the straps with buckles pulling the sides together. The materials and build are high quality. It’s a solid value for the price. This is the least hassle tent I’ve used, I’m looking forward to good campouts in this.
