Great alternative for tent camping

Great alternative for tent camping. Its larger than I thought but with clothes line pins can be made bug proof. Used it last weekend on a camping trip and it was light and comfortable. One just has to get into a comfortable position. The material is light but seems durable.

I bought this tent to go camping with my two boys (3 and 1 year)  The air pitch system takes some getting used to but once you have the hang of it is nice!  I would say for an experienced camper its probably not any faster than a traditional tent with flex poles but it sure is easier.  Plus no poles for the kids to hurt themselves with or step on and break when setting up and tearing down.  Inside is wide open with room for a double air mattress, kid size air mattress and a pack and play for the baby.  It is also tall, I am 6 foot and at the tallest point I can stand up fully, which is nice for changing.

This tent doesn't have a rain fly which is good and bad.  Nice to not have the extra fly and guy wires for kids to trip over, but it has a lot less ventilation than a tent with a rain fly removed.  We have been camping in the rain many times and had 0 leaks.

The tent is rather large and heavy when packed so you would want to use this when car camping or when you only have a short walk to the site.

For Families or anyone that just wants a cavernous shelter this is a great tent.

Took this out for the first time camping this past weekend to Crown Point, NY for a three night camping trip. I love the fact that this folds up so I can just store it in my pop up camper. It's easy to fold and set up. The only issue I had with this is that no matter what I did the paper towel holder would not stay attached with the suction cups, but that is no biggie to me. I have attached a photo to show how it was set up. Good quality. Would definitely recommend getting this if you are looking for something like this for your camping trips.

Great tent.  Easy to set up.  lightweight enough for long hikes.  The rainfly performs wonderfully.  It's enough room for myself and my pack.  My only complaint is the bends in the poles make keeping the poles a consistent height when folded a little tough.  They are very light poles however.  Also of note is that this IS NOT a free standing tent.  it MUST be staked/tied down if you have aspiriations of it staying upright.

I surprised my husband with this tent the day we went camping, so he didn't even get a chance to practice setting it up - but he didn't need it, set up is very easy. This tent has plenty of room - we put a single and a queen air bed in it and still had room. The only downside of this tent is that the top cover isn't attached, so a little more light is let in. We are sitll happy with this purchase.

Bought this tent for a weekend camping trip and saw a lot of positive reviews for this tent not only on Amazon but on various camping/outdoor websites. I am not a frequent camper, and the fact that I was able to assemble this tent within 5-10 minutes is impressive. The instructions are clearly labeled on the side of the carrying bag and were extremely easy to follow.

The inside of the tent is for the most part your standard tent. Some nice features were having mesh pockets in the corners of the tent and a mesh net that can be hung from the roof to hold various objects and a portable lantern. The tent is well made and was able to comfortably fit myself, my girlfriend, my small dog, 2 sleeping bags, and both of our backpacks.

I think the best part about this tent is the disassembly. You can take down this tent within 1 to 2 minutes. And believe it or not, even with it being hastily rolled up, it was able to fit back into its original carrying bag with no issues. Wish I could say the same for my sleeping bags!

Used this on a (3) day camp out in Ludington, MI for memorial day.  My thoughts:

Pros:
Large enough for (2) + modest amount of gear inside tent.
(2) Vestibules, allow for a lot more covered storage. **Ending up using these for water, coolers, lanterns, etc.
The base is a square = get a tarp longer than the tent and you can use the tarp under the vestibule for extra dry/non dirt area.
Zippers were HIGH quality.
This tent is ridiculously easy to assemble.  Did it the first time, in the dark, in 10min.  Can probably do it in 5min now.
Mesh excels at keeping bugs out, but breeze through

Cons:
Only (2) small side windows.
Only (1) internal pocket for storage
Rain fly fits JUST BARELY to cover the bottom edges of the tent.

It does what I need it to do and is a breeze to setup.  Giving this a 5/5 because it held up well and you can rely on a trusted name like ALPS.

I bought these to bring to a music festival we were camping at. They worked great! Really easy to hang and look great at night. The solar powered battery was perfect for camping. We just hung them and left them there all weekend. They turned on at night and off at day, making it easy to find our camping spot amongst a sea of tents.

As a relative novice to camping, I was pleased to attend a Boy Scout Camp Out with my son and set up the tent in minutes.  I used all of the extra time to help some of the other fathers who were struggling with their traditional pole tents.  When we struck camp, I had an audience wanting to see how the tent comes down so quickly.  A purist might scorn this tent but it really has every amenity including two gear lockers accessible by the outside or inside of the tent, two hanging organizers for personal articles or flashlights.  Very roomy with a big view all around. I could sleep at night and have full view of the trees, stars and moon by looking up through the screens. For privacy, one might want to use the rain fly but give up the view.  As a tall person, I was able to easily enter the tent since the doorway is quite high.  When disassembling the tent, I was concerned about bending the built in poles at the hinges because it takes quite a bit of force at first to collapse.  The second time however and the poles seemed to collapse easier.

Definitely great for camping. Bought it to camp with my son. It is an all season tent. We fit a queen mattress inside it. Super easy to assemble. the rain cover works, quality it looks like it will last. Very well made and perfect for camping with the family .

We just took this tent backpacking in the Sequoias and found that it packed easy. At camp, setup was quick and easy, we used a piece of 2 mil plastic sheet under the tent to keep it clean and moisture away. The vestibule was just big enough to store our backpacks and still give us room to get in and out of the tent. A window to open across from the door would have made this tent better. Packing up was easy and I had it back in its bag in around 5 minutes.

We have used our tent several times and have found it very easy to set and take down.  We love the tab for the pins and the legs and supports are very strong.  The tent fits nicely in the case  and is very easy to carry.  We have the wheels but haven't attached them yet as it has been very easy to pick up and place in the car.  But know they will come in handy when we need to carry the tent long distances from the car. The sides are easy to attach and they fit nicely in the included green storage bag. This tent was definitely worth the money.

Works well and is a great alternative to using a port-o-potty at a music festival. Not super easy to put up....could have been done by one person, but two people makes it a lot easier. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

This is a real time-saver and a great concept, whoever came up with this type of quick setup tent saved us campers many a frustration! I've put up tents the good old-fashioned way and it requires some time and two people. This tent goes up quickly and easily with just one person. Lay it out flat and pull the two string away from each other. This action pulls everything together and seats the two top pieces together so it won't accidentally collapse in the middle of the night (which was one of my worries but the tent is very secure once put up.) I had to fiddle a bit and guide the pieces together but it might just be that I need practice putting the tent up.
To take it down you are supposed to press down on the 'B' bar, the instructions provided a picture but I kept poking and pressing and nothing happened. Finally I got it and the tent immediately collapsed and I was able to neatly fold it up. This is why I recommend doing a dry run, you don't want to be stuck at dusk or nighttime trying to figure this out as the sun sets and your frustration builds. Once you get the hang of it it becomes much easier.
Typically I find with a 3 person tent it better suits two people so you can have a little space for your packs and personal space (equally important.) This tent is ideal for two people with a lot of elbow room or three people in a more cozy setting. It has one main door and a large window that unzips to reveal a mesh screen, which unzips to reveal another door. Yay for accessibility! The rain fly is already on the tent so you don't have to put that up additionally but you can remove it if you choose. The zippers all worked smoothly.
The floor wasn't terribly heavy so I would definitely recommend you put a tarp under the tent. For the size the tent is surprisingly lightweight. It has two shoulder straps so you can sling it over one shoulder or wear it like a backpack.
The tent feels and looks high-quality, I'm very happy with it and I prefer it over my Coleman tent. Since it's so easy to put up I will be using this a lot.

Took my 8 year old son camping this weekend, and the tent was great. Very easy to set up, and fairly roomy for a two-person tent. (Two person tents are notorious for being slightly large one-person tents.) I'm 6'4" and I was able to sleep fully stretched out. I was also able to sit in the tent in the center without hitting the top.

The tent has a nice design feature where the outer tarp creates a little "vestibule" in front of the entrance, which gives you a little dry spot on the ground to leave your shoes and take them on and off as you enter and exit the tent.

It's incredibly light, and yet when it's set up the carbon fiber skeleton keeps it very rigid. Best of all, it was as easy to take down and repack as it was to setup.

A word of advice: unless you're expecting a ton of rain in a gale, the guy ropes really aren't necessary to use except for the side exactly opposite the door. The tarp stays well-separated from the inner part of the tent just fine without them.

For the price, this is a very high performing tent that's actually big enough for two people (assuming they know each other). I recommend it.

We used this as a shower tent on our last camping trip, and it worked great.  We hung a solar shower above it.  With the windows closed, it's amazing how warm it gets inside.  One of my showers was at night when it was about 50degrees out and I was totally comfortable.  The warmth of the water heats the thing up better than you would think.  Maybe the high humidity helps too, as the water isn't evaporating off your body.

I took this tent backpacking a couple times and it has served me well. It is easy to set up, it fits two people nicely and one person quite comfortably and it is a great price. The only problem I encountered was condensation but that can be easily fixed by leaving one of the main flaps ajar (the small window in the back does not allow enough circulation to prevent condensation). Besides condensation, the tent is a great value and I highly recommend it.
