CORE Tent for Family Camping, Hiking and Backpacking | 3 Person / 4 Person / 6 Person / 9 Person Person Dome Camp Tents with Included Tent Gear Loft for Outdoor Accessories

Worked great while we had it. It was tall enough for all of us to stand in and very easy to put up/tear down. It never leaked for us and the design was durable.

We borrowed this tent for a family camping trip and loved it so much that we bought the exact same one. I compared it to all of the the other ones within the same size and relative price point and chose this one happily.The good: This tent was very fairly priced and a good deal. It’s huge inside, including a high ceiling. While we didn’t sleep 9 people in this 9 person tent, it was really great for all of us and gear too. I *love* the added touch of the mesh storage loft and the 2 net storage pockets inside. The hanging hook in the center of the ceiling for a lantern is also a great touch! The spacious bag is awesome with plenty of room to pack it back up without having to struggle to squeeze it in like many products out there!One of the big reasons I liked this tent was the huge mesh screens that cover the ceiling and dip down to the corners of the walls. This allowed for a great breeze on the hot summer nights we camped. We didn’t put up the rain fly since there was no rain and needed the airflow. Note that I can’t comment on the waterproofing or water resistance of this tent because of this.My recommendations to improve:It comes with 2 patches but no instructions on how to use them.I'd like to see an option to buy this with aluminum poles. I'm always concerned about the fiberglass ones breaking.This tent would be even better with 2 more mesh storage pockets inside. With a 9 person tent you’d bet that more than 2 pockets would be useful. I’m not complaining, just suggesting to make it even better.I’d also love to see zip up panels to close the “windows” of the mesh ceiling that dips down near the corners of the tent. This would be great for privacy for when you don’t want to put up the actual rain fly that does fully cover it. I’m imagining something similar to the zip up panel that closes the back window and the front window on the door.I would *really love* to see a tent with magnetic closure of the door for quick entries and exits. Let’s face it, this is a 9 person tent and likely kids will be using it. Our kids love to run in and out every minute and the zippers of tents are just annoying - they’re slow to open and fully close each time, they get stuck in the fabric and it’s just a matter of time until they’ll break. I saw something in another tent that talked about a magnetic door closure but turns out it’s only the bottom corner of the door that magnets shut. So close! I’m thinking that good strong magnets could be sewn into the fabric near the edges of the entire door so that they would hold the door basically closed for quick use - this would basically keep out bugs and allow for privacy. And when you want to properly close the door fully then you would use the full zipper. I’m probably going to sew my own magnets in to try it. Wish me luck!

I cannot praise this tent enough for the price.Bought this tent on sale for 170 bucks. Me and my friends planned a trip to go down to Daniel boone forest in kentucky and camp for 3 days 3 nights. We planned this trip in March 6 months prior. The weekend we went is when hurricane helene hit. We said screw it and went through with it knowing the risks.First day we get down there we set it up in the rain and took 30 minutes to do which is not bad for me personally lol. It then proceeded to rain moderately to severe for the next 24 hours straight. This tent had less leakage than every other tent my other friends brought and they were coleman tents! Theirs had huge puddles and leaks by the morning but this tent proceeded to have little to no leakage. The small water droplets that were inside the tent was probably there from when we set it up anyways.The second day proceeded with rain; however, there was a severe wind and storm warning. 25-70 mph wind gusts! Let me tell you I was incredibly impressed when this tent proceeded to take these wind gusts LIKE A BOSS! No damage, stakes were still in the ground and didnt move an inch, rain cover still attached, and very minor water leakage again!The third day, the hurricane had mostly passed and only had small showers and drizzling rain. Absolutely no issues on the third day of course.My expectations being exceeded is an understatement!I will say 1 very minor criticism of this tent is the zipper handles kept falling out from the door zippers but you could still zip them without the handle. That's it.If you are looking for a robust, large tent for the family or 3-5 big and tall adults to sleep very comfortably, look no further. I cannot praise this tent enough for the price and performance.

I purchased this for a camping trip in Big Sur which is usually a colder area that can have rain in early spring. Setting it up for the first time was very straightforward and felt very spacious as the tent size is 7x7. I had no issues with its durability as it withstood some light to moderate rain. Some issues I have with it is the gap between the rainfly and the wall. I found that much of the wind blowing was coming up from under the rainfly and made the tent significantly colder. This is good for summer camping bit in colder conditions it can be quite uncomfortable. A good tip is to lean something against the wall to close that gap or to face the door against the wind. Doing this made the tent significantly warmer and will consider adding some Velcro to close that gap. Doing this however creates a LOT of condensation that leaves water on the inside walls. Another issue is with the zipper, it has a lip on the inside that transitions to another lip on the outside, this transitions makes the tent difficult to open and close which can be a bit annoying. A really cool feature related to the door is a mesh screen that takes up a third of the top of the door that can be opened so you can peek out without having to fully open the tent. A cool plus was with the pockets on the inside and the net in the ceiling that has 2 kinds of hooks to hang anything from lanterns, keys, etc. The material is not thin nor thick and is pretty much the same as any tent whether that’d be a 25 dollar tent or a 500 dollar tent. The water resistant coating does help in some rain but I’d doubt it’d hold up in strong winds or sideways rain. Overall a great tent for the price.

Perfect for our trip
