great tent!
By Denise Booth
This is a great tent and very easy to set up - 15min by myself. We camped for a week and experienced sun, rain and wind. this tent stayed dry and anchored. I did use 10 in. metal stakes instead of the ones that came with the tent. I especially like the fact that the screened porch has a floor. Tent was well ventilated and roomy. We had a queen and a single mattress and 2 coolers inside. Still had room to walk and change clothes. Glad I purchased this tent!

Really nice for the money
By Shawn Gallagan
This tent worked great when we recently used it during a weekend of camping. I went back and forth between several different tent models, but ultimately decided that the rain fly looked to have better coverage on this model.
Setup is relatively quick and took about 15 minutes. It could be done by one person, but two people would be optimal. The screened in area was more useful than I thought it would be. We basically used it as a mud room and it helped in keeping dirt and debris out of the sleeping area. With my family of four, there was plenty of room for two queen size air mattresses with space left over to store other items. There are two small pockets on each side of the tent to store small items and a small strap in the top-center of the tent to hold a light, fan, or whatever you can fit up there. The ventilation was quite good and we stayed cool with ~75F nights. It rained a small amount on both nights and we stayed completely dry.
Overall, I'm
really happy with my purchase.

Very room and easy to put up
By Heather Evans
I love the fact that this tent is super easy to put up and has lots of space. I also love the built in floor in screened in porch. The only down side to this tent is the lack of a zip up window in the back. It means the back window (which is large) is completely open at all times leaving you zero privacy. If you have the rain fly on then the window is covered. But if don't want or need the rain fly you are exposed. Down here in Texas we often need as much air flow as we can get so we would only put on the rain fly when absolutely necessary. I hate not being able to zip up a window while I change clothes, etc. Otherwise this is a really great tent.
