About how long does it take for one person to set up the tent? I camp by myself quite a bit and this looks like something that might work for me.

Can't take more than 30 minutes. This belongs to my daughter. I have never set it up by myself. I do know with 2 it takes about 10 minutes.

The first time I set up the tent, it took about 25 minutes. I've only done it the one time, but it will get faster as time goes. I do have to quanity my answer though. I had no wind, rain and I laid everything out first so I could find it easier.

It's really quick with 2 people. I'd say about 30 min for one person in daylight with no wind. Much of that will be fixing something that fell out or moved on one side when you were working on the other. Even 1 adult and a kid to hold things would be much better than alone.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

yes. I have owned this tent for over 6 years now. I take it camping at least twice per year. I set it up by myself every time. it usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Absolutely you will be able to set it up. It is very easy very light. Take steps in the right order and it almost sets itself up. Do not stake down the tent until it is totally set up then it is very easy

Absolutely - I am a 52 year old Mom and I can get this up in about 7-8 minutes going slowly. It takes longer to stake the guidelines out than to get the tent up LOL. I have a 7 year old who then helps me get a huge tarp over the top (we camp in Florida, like the shade and extra rain protection of a tarp)...we LOVE this tent.

I only used it once so far, but it was an easy set-up. The poles are "permanent", not separate. You just swivel out the poles & push the top up. If you watch any of the videos of the Coleman instant tents, you'll get the idea. I love it.

I found this tent fairly easy to assemble & disasseble (and that's me doing it by myself). 'Took me about 10 to 12 minutes to assemble.

A Full size air mattress pretty much takes up the whole tent. I wouldn't want to camp in it with more than 3 people.

I'm 50 years old, 5'2", and not terribly agile. I have no problem setting up and taking down this tent mostly by myself (my 8 year old "helps" -- but you can imagine how "helpful" an 8 year old can be! I have no problem getting it back into the bag myself either. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes each.

I have never done it alone, but I do believe I could if I had to. The tent is not difficult to put up.

Yes. I set it up all by myself all the time. Much easier with 2 people and the first time it will take awhile. Once you have the hang of it, it gets much easier. I can get it up in about 10 minutes. Helpful tip for 1 man assembly...Anchor it to the ground first, then work from back to front.

The first time we set it up, we had a little trouble but once we figured it out, it was very easy...maybe not a minute, but definitely under five minutes. It's a good first tent because it is already put together. You just have to raise it. Good luck and enjoy!

Depending on how Much wind you have. But it is pretty simple to set up. without any wind maybe 10 - 15 mins from unpacking to full setup

One person can set this up/down but it just takes more time. I've done it by myself. You just have to be patient and pull out each corner a bit at a time. It's a bit heavy to drag around but the carrying case has wheels to help with that.

Hello Tamia, The Wenzel tent took about 30 minutes to set up for the first time. You will need a little assistance from an extra person. The tent is not the easiest to set up or take down because the poles have to go through the entire sleeve of the tent. Its an economical roomy tent and is only great for car camping. Hope this helped. Happy camping Steve

I would have to say that it is much easier with 2 people, but I have set it up by myself. It takes about 10 minutes to set up with 2 people and it took 30 minutes by myself.

This definitely a tight 2 person tent. My wife and I used it for three weeks across the US. It's best as a one-man...or one-man and a dog!
