Naturehike Village Instant Tent, 4 Person 8 Person Camping Tent with Full Rainfly, Waterproof Large Cabin Tents for Car Camping

Updates: I emailed Naturehike about my issues below to find they had also reached out to me through Amazon the same day in response to my original review. They were receptive of my feedback and very easy to work with me on getting a replacement rainfly. It arrived at my home in approx two weeks, much quicker than I expected shipping from China. I was able to set the tent up in my yard for about 8 days with significant rainfall several of those, and I am very happy to say that the new rainfly performed admirably, not a single drop of water in the tent any of the times I checked it during and after showers. Hopefully my issue was a rare occurrence, but I would still suggest testing the waterproof capabilities thoroughly before taking it out remotely. I also very much appreciate Naturehike's customer service handling things so well and taking care of the issue for me; they were much more responsive and helpful than some US camping gear companies I've had to contact for product issues in the past. With that said, I would very much recommend this tent, and I will likely purchase the larger family model in the future. Original Review: I really like the form, features, and size of this tent, but for smaller tent priced at $300+, I expected better. It did fine in dry weather but failed in rain showers. At this price point, rain should not be an issue unless you're in monsoon-like rain, especially with the listing promoting the tent being waterproof as a feature. I bought this tent primarily for my solo tent as a leader on boy scout campouts so I had room to stand and move without using my large family tents or one I'd have to crawl in and out of. I was able to set it up in my back yard a couple of weekends after it arrived mid-May. Set up is easy and quick, and there's lots of room inside for a 4-person tent, could very comfortably fit 3 people on travel camp mats or a couple with a queen air mattress. I can fit my oversized cot, gear tote, and my chair inside and still have room to change and get in/out easily. The poles seem pretty durable, had decent wind one day but not speeds the tent claims to be rated for. The blackout fabric the fly's made of did a decent job keeping early morning sun out but wasn't as effective at keeping it cooler like I've experienced with other dark room tents. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test the tent's rain resistance during those earlier setups, was forecast both times but blew over my area. I took the tent out for its first real use recently on a week long scout campout from July 6-July 11th. Things were great until we got rain the last couple days. The tent kept dry during light daytime sprinkle, but twice overnight we had significant showers, less than my other tents had held up to out of the box, and both nights the rain fly did not prevent water from leaking in. The inner mesh on the roof was soaked due to the fly's failure and dripping into the tent in a few spots. Thankfully I had my tote and was able to pack things back in quickly to prevent them getting wet or ruining my lamp, solar panel charger, or other electronics.

This is a great tent. I have been putting this tent to use this year and I have had zero issues. I do not have any issues with the top bar getting it to click into place. Make sure you extend the top bar first or you will have issues because it’s harder to reach. This tent is super easy and fast to put up/take down. The room darkening is great on the tent because it blocks the heat of the sun and allows you to sleep a little longer if you want. The fly is very durable and is for sure water proof. You will have condensation buildup on the inside of the fly if using a heater but that is to be expected and it will not drip on you. I have had zero issues with the zipper. The tent is a perfect size for my wife and I with our two dogs. This is my go to tent when traveling because I know it’s not gonna let me down and it fits in any campsite.

Not a bad tent. It was clearly a returned item and upon further inspection it has a hole in the floor but other than that it's is pretty nice

Tent is will built, easy to setup, but a tough to establish middle support. Black out feature is awesome, snow skirt is a great feature and the poles for the awning are not so great. Material is great. However, Only negative, is the smell. Air it out! Take down process is easy. Stakes are decent, some are glow in the dark and not the flimsy like others that come with other tents. More guy lines you use, the more stable it appears. Privacy from the windows are from the outside and not inside. Zippers are very well made and don’t snag. We tested the tent with a Buddy heater & it kept the heat.

I recently took this tent on a weekend camping trip, and it exceeded all my expectations. Setup was quick and straightforward, even with just one person. The materials feel durable, and the seams are well-sealed, which kept us completely dry through a surprise overnight rainstorm. The interior is spacious, with enough headroom to sit up comfortably and plenty of space for two adults, two kids and gear. Ventilation is great, with multiple mesh windows and a roof vent that helped prevent condensation. The zippers are smooth and didn’t snag once, and the included rainfly provided excellent coverage. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable camping shelter!

I love this tent so much. I bought the blackout version and literally NO LIGHT gets through in the morning, it's also insulated so I was much warmer than I was in my previous tent. The four person can fit two people very comfortably, three would be good only for sleeping and four, could happen but I would personally hate squeezing that many people in there. It's super easy to set up and take down, however it is a pain to get it back in the bag - though, isn't that true of all camping gear? All in all, I highly recommend this tent

I just got the 4 person today. This will serve as a basic and initial review. The weather did not permit me to set it up outside so the living room had to do. I had a 4 person Coleman instant tent and used it so much the floor gave out. After months of research, I chose to buy this tent. It took 30 minutes to set up by myself in my LR. The rainfly is nothing to joke about. Slas solid as any other fly I've ever seen if more with a liner of reflective fabric to help with insulation. I learned to put the fly on before fully extending the legs. Otherwise the tent is too tall for my 5'8" self to put the fly over. I will eventually color code each corner on the fly to the coordinating tent corner with loops of cord. This will certainly help configure from to back when putting it over the tent base. Once the fly is on, then I extended the legs up. It's practically a blackout tent with the fly fully on. It was not hard to fully extend the legs but not as simple as my old Coleman instant. The top center pole was just as much as a struggle. It required a bit more grip to pull the poles apart until they clicked in place. Maybe rubber garden gloves would be a good idea. When it was fully up and I stepped inside, I was completely amazed. There is plenty of head space. It's incredibly spacious. I was able to jump up and not hit my head. It can comfortably sleep 4 adults side by side and will be a luxury suite just for me. The zippers are smooth and substantial. There are a lots of options to stake out, tie down, roll up, pitch up with the 2 poles included. I'm sure in the rain the "porch" floap section of the fly would need a center pole in the center to avoid water pooling or to pitch the front flap one side higher than the other to permit roll off. As I said before, the fly is thick and substantial. Without the fly in warmer weather, this tent is a beautiful screen tent. I can hardly wait for a day to set it up outside and give it a full review. Please come back in a few weeks for the full review.

Normally, I’m a fan of Naturehike. I have plenty of products from them. However, not all are hits, and sadly this tent was probably the worst one I have tried. I brought the tent for a 3 night camping trip, and on the second night, it started to rain. Mix of light and heavy rain, but it started at 10pm and was consistent throughout the night. Woke up to the rain fly getting soaked through, starting to drip from the top and eventually the entire fly on the inside was saturated with moisture. I wish it was condensation, but it wasn’t even a cold night and condensation doesn’t for such large water droplets over night. For a tent that’s boasts a 3000mm rating, this shouldn’t happen over one night. In addition, I found out after the second night the corner of the inner tent had torn. We packed up and are staying in a hotel our last night. So much for my birthday weekend camping. Also the tent had a strong chemical smell out of the box so we had to air it out for 2 days before bringing it. I will say a couple of pros: the tent is spacious and a palace for 2. We had plenty of room to stand up and change without bumping in to each other. Set up was fairly easy and with two people, goes by fast. The awning is a nice touch but it’s kinda useless if it’s raining since the fly needs to be full down to protect the inner tent. The stakes are of high quality and guy lines are strong.
