Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Windows are closable for extra protection against critters and the elements.
- Rainy Adventures
Each room can be completely zipped off, allowing for a private bedroom area or changing space, which is definitely a nice bonus if you’re by a lake area with a beach for swimming, have a lot of kids running around, or just need to take a nap one of those days to recharge a little bit during an exhausting and fun week of enjoy the great outdoors.
-
The tent is crafted with a durable, strong and a quick dry fabric that ensures you get an extensive comfort and relaxation. Consequently, this is a perfect on-the-go product that can be used anywhere anytime.
- 5 Product Reviews
The pre-attached poles mean this tent has an incredibly easy set-up: it pops up with minimal effort.
- TenBestProduct
The camping tent is very stable and durable, and water-resistant. You can use this tent in windy areas without worrying about tumbling as it has a very stable base and it is shaped exactly to resist falling when hit by wind.
- Mike's Gear Reviews
Because there are up to 3 separate rooms this could be a good choice for multiple couples, groups, friends, or families.
- Outside Pursuits
The instant design of this tent means that you can easily and effortlessly assemble it in minutes. You could even, possibly, manage to set up this large tent on your own. I suggest having at least one other person help you, however. All you have to do is pull the tent out of its carrying case, unfold it, pull the collapsed, shock-corded poles into alignment, attach the fabric with clips, stand it up, and peg it down. Just like that. You can have an entire large tent in minutes.

Air Conditioning Ports – This tent incorporates 2 ground vent flaps (AC Ports) to accomodate air conditioning units.
- All Camping Stuff
Pockets in the sides of the room separator provide storage for keys, flashlights, and other miscellaneous items.
- Family Tent Info
Two ground vent flaps are available to accommodate air conditioning unit.
- Tents Review
This tent is relatively easy to set up because the poles are pre-attached to the tent. So in theory you just unfold the tent and extend the poles.
- Effortless Outdoors
No assembly required.
- Outfit Boss
Despite its size, setting up is easy and can be done within two minutes.
- Dream Guides

What reviewers didn't like

Cannot withstand environments with strong wind pressure.
- Rainy Adventures
Less stable than tents with detached poles.
- TenBestProduct
One single door.
- Mike's Gear Reviews
With the sheer size of this tent, however, you’ll need to be sure that you set it up well. Some users complain about strength issues in the wind. With a surface area this massive it’s hard to avoid wind damage so choose your location carefully.
- Outside Pursuits
Gaps In Netting – Some small gaps in the mosquito netting near ventilation peaks.
- All Camping Stuff
The doors to the rooms don't unzip all the way to the ground. This design leaves around six inches of material on the floor, which can potentially cause you and other individuals to trip on it.
- Family Tent Info
The luggage space is not enough considering 12 person. However, space is good if the number of campers is less than twelve.
- Tents Review
High price.
- Outfit Boss
There are some little gaps in the mosquito netting.
