CAMEL CROWN Tents for Camping 4/6 Person Tent Waterproof Easy Setup Backpacking Tents

It was extremely easy to set up with two people. Truthfully, with patience I bet one person could do it alone. The material was nice, we really appreciated the rain cover, awning, and built in door mat. There are exterior flaps for the back window to be kept open to get a good breeze. You do have to pin them open on the outside of the tent due to the rain cover, but that can't be helped. You can also unzip the front window built into the door for breeze.It also has a velcro slot in the front that you can run an electrical cord inside, which is a great feature. It came with lots of stakes and ties to secure the tent. I would advise you buy an additional tent kit that comes with thicker stakes, a rubber mallet, and a few other odds and ends.We only got to use this one trip and during that trip, the zipper broke. They have pretty heavy duty zipper repair kits for $10 at wollyworld if you want to invest and not have issues with the zipper going forward.I don't know how many trips you'd get out of this tent, but for the price it really is a great deal. It's roomy, easy to break down and set up, and the neon ties around the tent are awesome so you can see them at night and not trip. We put a large tarp under the tent as a safe guard while using, but we stayed completely dry and enjoyed the space.

I used to have those quick two minutes open tents. I replaced a tent every two years becauseof small parts breaking. Then I bought this tent.(6 people)I was able to set it up in 10 minutes by myself, it stood nicely in medium wind, I was skeptical about the poles in the front but to my surprise it stood perfectly for 3 hours until I took it down myself. It's very well ventilated and has a lot of room, I was able to stand and walk inside with no problem.Probably my biggest surprise was the packing size- a quarter of any other tent I had, I can throw it in my trunk and still have plenty of room.The packing itself was cautious, slow and steady. The bag is relatively small so I needed to use my bodyweight to close it properly, but once I did it was packed up nicely. So maybe not as a first tent due to the packing process, but it's my fourth and probably last tent (I'll buy it again every few years if I'll have to) and I'm very happy with it.Overall 9/10

The media could not be loaded. ***Updated.I reached out to let them know about the elastic in the pole snapping, I got a fairly quick response asking for a picture of the issue. I responded I didn't take the time to take a picture and have heard nothing since. One star for "customer service."A friend said, let's go camping. Sure! Haven't been in years, let's go! Living in Washington State, we kept an eye on the wildfires, that would have nixed the trip and there were several near Mary Hill State Park, where we were going. All were out, weather was looking good, fabulous Girl's Weekend ahead. I arrived Friday afternoon and started pitching my spanky new tent. The directions were ok and I'm experienced enough to know the basics. Laid it out and staked it down with the included steel J stakes. It was a fairly soft gravel pad so I used two stakes per corner as one just wasn't really doing the job imo. Next up, putting the poles together. You know the kind, they fold up on themselves with an elastic cord running through them. Now, it's late afternoon, sunset is at 8 pm, gotta get the tent up. First pole, no problem. Second pole, two sections to go and *SNAP* the elastic broke. Insert colorful language. Spent the next 20 minutes rethreading the elastic through the poles; lost the end a couple of times and had to start over. Finally thought to use the key ring to hold the end while I got the next segment ready. Was able to get the ends tied off at last and wrapped some silver wire around the knot to make sure it didn't come undone while putting up the tent. (I had brought my jewelry making supplies, hence the wire.) My friends arrived, we got the tent up. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the fabric and told them "wow are they getting a crappy review!" I had serious doubts about the integrity not only of the elastic but the fabric not getting ripped; it felt thin and that cheap, crinkly type of stuff. Which, I'm a 50 something woman, not rambunctious children and was still huh. Let's see how that holds up. This might last a couple of camping trips if I'm careful. The tent is quite roomy, a double air mattress fit nicely on one side (fairly snug to the wall so not recommended if you're expecting rain. I turned it lengthwise for Sat night and that didn't leave much floor space.) leaving the other for gear etc. I'm 5'8" and had plenty of headroom in the middle.Did send a complaint via Amazon about the elastic that evening. The next day, all was well, I hadn't attached the ropes at that point, a mild breeze, didn't need the trip hazard. That afternoon, the Park Ranger comes by to let us know a storm was coming in, expecting winds of 40-50 mph! At that point, I triple stakes the corners and attached the ropes. I had picked up extra tent stakes and am glad I did because they ALL got used. Secured the coolers and gear in the tent just as the winds really started in. That's the video, the beginning of the storm. My friends and I (and the two dogs) watched the storm from the safety of our vehicles. Winds, rain, hail, lightning for just over an hour. I was shocked that my tent was still firmly anchored and there were ZERO rips or tears! I was anticipating the fly at the least to sail away but not so much as a popped stitch! The material I thought was thin and would tear easily? In perfect condition. The poles? I actually had to cut the elastic to get the mangled mess free of the tent. 🤦‍♀️The neighbor campers lost an entire tent, it went flying off who knows where (they weren't there during the storm) and my friend's tent was a complete loss.This evening I had a message from Camel Crown asking for a picture of the "issue." I responded that I didn't take the time to snap a pic, was too busy rethreading the pole. Admittedly, if I were them, I'd think it was someone trying to get poles replaced because of the storm. I will replace the poles regardless and use the tent again. I'm waiting to see their response, can't comment on their custom service as yet.And to be fair, this tent is NOT rated for 40-50 mph winds and yet, poles notwithstanding, it survived.

Love the tent, roomy and good quality but the zipper broke after like the second time of me trying to shut it.

definitely a great tent for the price and quality. was really pleased with the size and setup. very spacious and easy to install. if you need. Has a large accessible in and out and breathable windows. i had plenty of ceiling space as well.

Perfect for what I needed! I was able to fit 2 twin air mattresses (the raised ones) and still had plenty of room to move around. It was me and my 2 pre teen sons.

I want to say that this is a nice tent because it does have some nice features, but the zipper splitting in the middle of the night when it's cold and you're just trying to get back in your sleeping bag is very annoying. If there is the slightest pressure on the zipper, the zipper splits and you have to force it back to the beginning, hold the seams together so there's no pressure, and then start again. The poles also seem kind of flimsy. I'm not sure if trust them in any moderate or heavy winds.Other than that, I do appreciate the extra piece of tarp that acts as a landing pad at the entrance of the tent. It also has really good ventilation.Bottom line, I am returning this tent. The zipper thing is a deal breaker.

I recently went on a 5 day 4 night camping and fishing trip. It rained 3 and a half out of 5 days. To my surprise and delight this tent stayed completely dry inside. Not a drop of water though the floor, walls or the rain fly. The weather could have made the trip a disaster. But thanks to this tent and it's ability to repel water helped to salvage the trip and make it bearable. Highly recommend it and would buy it again.
