Customer Reviews

Gets the job done
I've had this tent for awhile now and i'm finally getting around to writing a review.It has its good points and bad points as well.First the good points.It is a light weight two person tent and is waterproof and i have not exp any condensation problems.It with stood a pretty mean rain storm in PA.You will be able to pitch in under five minutes.I can sit up in it,im only 5'7 though.Plenty of storage for little things.Well there not to many bad things i can say about this tent.Yes it is a two person tent,but it is a VERY tight fit though.Despite what the box says i would not use this tent any other time then spring or summer.It is not a four season tent.My main complaint with this tent,are the stakes.They are only good in soft soil or ground and will bend in anything else.So i would advise buying new ones.If you only go camping once or twice a year or want a good lite weight tent for summer use.This is the tent you want.I've posted some pictures of my tent set up.Amazon has three pictures posted.The first one is the 2005 model,which i own.The second and third are the 2006 model.

great little tent, but pretty small
overall we are pretty happy with our purchase for the money. we camp at the texas coast and it gets really windy and rain is usually a problem. after being soaked in a dome tent several times we thought these lower, more wind-resistant styles might hold up better. this tent, being such, did the trick. we went with a group with two brand new dome tents and recieved a good pour one night. the dome tent slumberers gave up and ran to sleep in the truck after fighting the tent blowing in their face and all of their blankets and such being soaked. we were nice and cozy dry. we hardly could tell it was raining and we had not a drop anywhere. of course, we joked in the morning that this was due to the fact that there was not any ROOM for anything else to get in. it is quite a small tent for two people. one person would be very nice. we just barely comfortably fit, and it was a little tricky getting in and out. the pictures showed the side entrance doors but it came with the front entrance. we could sleep with about less than an inch of space between us if we pushed against the sides. but it was by no means miserable (if you don't mind sleeping close). the raised roof by the head area makes the small space more bearable. there is of course no room for any gear other than your blankets and pillows. you do need a ground mat- "tent saver" as there is not a thicker fabric on the bottom like most dome tents have. this tent is of good quality and very quick & easy to set up/ take down. the bag it comes with is nice- no struggling to stuff the tent and stakes in. i wish it were just a tinsy bit bigger (too much bigger would take away the awesom wind resistance) but i think for the money with the other options i saw -this was a good choice. campin's not supposed to be lush anyway =)

Great tent
This is a nice, light, well-constructed tent that is easy to set up and take down (folds up easily and into a nice small package). I had read that it was a SMALL two person tent, and it really is small: my girlfriend and I are both quite small, and it's still a very tight squeeze. I woudn't recommend using it as a two person tent unless you and the other person are slim and very fond of one another (and don't intend to bring full-length therma-rests or any substantial gear that needs to be kept inside the tent). As a solo tent, it's great. For it's weight and price, it's worth the squeeze. Oh, and it needs to be used with a groundcloth.
