Great family tent
Date:May 11, 2013
"We have 3 little ones and this is more than enough room for us to camp with them and our gear. No issues with the quality for us though we only use it occasionally."

Great for the $, lasts and lasts
Date:August 15, 2012
"I have owned my tent for 7 years.
I have been reading reviews because I am in the market for a new tent (mainly ours is beginning to show wear and tear and we now have 2 dogs and 2 kids so we would like more room).
This tent has held up so well. We have camped regularly with it...last year we noticed a small hole in one of the corners near the floor. (most likely we could repair it and get a few more years out of the tent). Otherwise, no rips, tears etc.
As for leaks: we have camped in snow, hail, downpours etc. I have NEVER had a leak. We did NOT waterproof the seams like we were advised to (although I will be smart and waterproof our new one). We don't typically set up tarps over the tent either. (we are lazy campers) If you leave stuff against the walls during a rainstorm, your stuff will get wet (as with any tent).
The zippers around the doors and windows to snag...but no biggie. That is my only complaint. Also, the division between the rooms is just a thin sheet that hangs from clips.
It is easy to set up. It is very roomy. We usually have a queen air mattress, 2 dog beds, a twin bed and all of our clothing etc. (it would be tight with a second twin - hence looking for a larger tent).
I felt like I needed to add my 2 cents...we got 7 years out of this tent. No leaks. It has held up so well! Please do not have any reservations about buying this tent. Well worth it!"

leaky tent
Date:August 10, 2012
"We like this tent, it is easy to set up, and has lots of space, we can stand up easily.
However, the zipper around the door catches on the fabric, every time. And we got rained on the 2nd time we used it, rain came in easily around the window seams, we were wet inside,we did waterproof before like it says you should. The rest of the tent was waterproof.
Think it could be better with a fly sheet that is bigger and covers the window areas, to allow rain to fall away from the tent. And the zipper needs to be modified so it does not catch the fabric."

Easy set-up, awesome tent!!!
Date:August 9, 2012
"Bought this last year (2011) but did not get to use until this season. Had the tent up in 20 minutes with no reference to instructions, it rained without the fly being on and only minimal drips, then it rained all evening and night with no leaks, once the fly was on properly and windows closed.
Lots of room and good height for a cheap tent. Zippers a bit tricky, but that's because they are protected from rain, which I really appreciate after this trip!"

Unreal Tent
Date:July 1, 2012
"Just got back from camping with this tent for the first time, and after reading the reviews on here, i was a little sceptical as there was rain in the forecast. We ended up getting rained on for a whole night and did not get a single drop of water in the tent. Ignore all the reviews saying this tent is cheap or leaks or whatever, because it is an amazing tent, with TONS of space and an amazing price as well. Whoever says this tent leaks obviously did not put it up right in the first place. we will be camping again with this tent for many years."

Horrible tent experience
Date:August 4, 2011
"Purchased this tent for use later in the summer. It was easy and quick to set up, we were initially impressed.
What they don't tell you is the second there is any rain, this tent is going to leak. Rain came in from small holes all around the three windows, as well as patches near the base of the tent.
The zippers were awkward and difficult to use, and often got stuck.
The advertised 5'10" height (which was a selling point for us) is only at one place in the very middle of the tent. Don't expect to stand up anywhere else.
Insects that were able to get in under the fly got stuck in the mesh tent fabric under the fly (which is supposed to vent the tent, but did no such thing). As a result, after two days of camping and getting rained on inside our tent, we also had a lovely canopy of insects to fall asleep under every night.
Don't buy this tent; save your money and buy absolutely anything else. A tarp. A hotel room. A better tent that actually has a warranty, because we were unable to return ours or even have it replaced."

First Impressions...
Date:July 16, 2011
"While I have yet to take this tent on any excursions, I felt it necessary to write a review based on my initial judgement after purchasing and setup.
I bought this tent on sale for $75.00 due to wanting a larger tent and the fact that my old one was, well, old and that the elastic between one set of the poles snapped.
First off, this tent is FAR larger than I originally thought. I set it up and was able to comfortably inflate my double-high, queen size air mattress on only one half of the tent. There was still enough room on that side for some luggage and shoes/sandals. It could easily accommodate 4 adults with gear. I like my space (one of the reasons for upgrading) and this tent sure has it.
The room divider is pretty much a sheet that hangs in the middle. It is opaque and does not provide complete privacy since a) you can sort of see through it, and b) it is not a zippered divider so it hangs from eyelets at only 6 points inside the tent.
Setting up the tent was also fairly easy. I read a few reviews claiming that you need two people and felt I should say quite certainly, that you do not. Anyone with any sort of tenting experience should be able to do this on their own. There is only 4 poles (two black and two orange) that are colour coded for ease. Black is the main structure while orange is the fly. Then there is one main "spine" pole that goes over the tent to support the middle of the fly. I took my time setting it up and managed to do it in about 10 minutes. I read the instructions ahead of time and it really is pretty straight forward.
I sprayed the outside twice and inside once (1.5 cans) with silicone waterproofing. I have used this on all my tents in the past and have never had one leak on me. I can only hope for the same with this one!
Packed up the tent in about the same time it took to set it up. Surprisingly, the tent fit back in the bag it came in on the first shot. I folded it up according to how I thought it should be, then rolled it lengthwise with the poles in the middle and it was the perfect size.
Very much looking forward to using this later on in the summer and for years to come. So far, I'm happy with the purchase and for those who are considering it, I would recommend it.
Hope this helps!
Good luck and happy camping!"

Fantastic tent!
Date:September 1, 2010
"My boyfriend and I purchased this tent a month ago to camp 5 hours away in Northern Ontario.
During our camping vacation, it rained steadily for 5 hours straight. We had prayed the whole tent with rain guard, but had no tarps under or over top. Our tent had minor, tiny leaks but amazed us.
It was easy to assemble (it took literally 10 minutes the very first time). We are now planning to go camping again for a fall adventure and I am looking forward to it, mind you we'll use a tarp over top this time!"

Excellent Product
Date:August 16, 2010
"I had purchased this tent 2 years ago and have used it about a dozen times so far from severe heat to pouring down rain and cold and this tent handles it all great.There are lots of big windows for ventilation in the heat and keeps it cool.When you zip the windows up they seal the body heat in and keeps even the air temperature comfortable(for a tent) when in cold temperatures.I wash it down after every trip out to prevent mildew and spray it down with the sealant stuff every 2-3 trips to help with moisture(not that it needs it)Tent is very easy and quick to set up.(Took me and friend about 10 minutes)inside is very roomy and surpassed my expectations the first time and still does every time i use it.This tent is a must for anybody that is tall and likes to go camping with a few friends as it is about 6'4 at the highest point.(im 6'3 and still had a little room).Says 6 person tent but could easily fit more very comfortably."

Good tent
Date:August 10, 2010
"Bought this while it was on sale. Great purchase. Very easy to set up, although not everything fit back in its original bag, but that was expected. Have used during rain and had no problems. The tabs for the rain flap on the top were a little hard to find the first time but other than that took very little time to set up.
So far I have no complaints :)"

Excellent Value
Date:August 4, 2010
"We bought this tent in early July and have camped every weekend since we bought it. This tent is very spacious!...easy to assemble!...and is very solid in heavy rain, we did get a little leak at the bottom of the window but with some silicone spray we were able to fix this little issue. We also got this tent on sale for 89.00! and it is worth every cent, we would pay the reg price now that we know how good this product is. It is not easy to pack it in the bag it came with unless you take the time to properly fold and get all the air out before rolling it up. Buy this tent if you want size and comfort for a bargan price!."

"This is a big tent. Very wide and roomy, not very high. Easy to setup and seems good quality.
Cons: rain leaks around the lower seams. Room divider is a joke. Looks nice in the picture but its kind of see-through and does not provide privacy."

EASY TO SET UP, IT TOOK AT LEAST 10-15MINS FOR MY HUSBAND TO SET UP AND IT WAS DONE BY HIMSELF ONLY. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAD WAS 1 OF THE ROB BROKE. THE CORD THAT IS HOLDIN THE ROD TOGERTHER BROKE OFF."

GOOD DEAL
Date:July 9, 2009
"We bought this at $60 off so we got it at a good price. We are a family of four (plus a dog) and we had plenty of room. It was easy to set up (compared to our old one) which we did in a matter of minutes. I would agree with a few of the other comments that the zippers get caught.
We took it out for the the first time last weekend and we truly had the worst rainy weather - it was torrential!! There was some water that came in around the zipper so we are considering treating it but we are still pleased with how it held up considering the amount of rain we received. I would definitely recommend this tent."
