Customer Reviews for Pop up family beach tent and beach sunshelter:

“I grew up with this type of “pop-up” tent and now that I have my own family I realized that I needed another one. This tent design has been around for 14 years now. In that time period I haven’t found a more simple, easy to use, or more portable tent for lounging away from the sun between beach activities. I like being able to just throw the thing into the air, watch it expand mid-flight, and then have a setup tent in front of me (hopefully in the future everything we need will be built this way!). Fold down is very easy once you see/do it once and when folded you get a very compact circle that can fit pretty flat on the floor of a car trunk (or on top of all your stuff in that car trunk). Makes trips to the beach a lot more fun + no hassle to take it = great buy.”

“I personally find this tent WONDERFUL and totally easy to use. A cinch to set up. Yes putting it away is confusing at first but you get the hang of it if you follow the instructions closely (they are not hard, it’s just you have to wrap your head around the way the bars should fold into each other). It is ridiculously compact too, and can sling over your shoulder even when you are already carrying a massive beach bag (I have 2 kids now, trust me) of toys and gear. On that note what I love best is this one tent replaces me having to haul a mat, and an unweildy umbrella that will half the time blow over in the wind. It’s totally big enough for two kids to sleep in, or two kids plus two adults to have lunch in (taking a break from the sun).”

Customer Reviews for Wind Ridge Instant Tent:

“I have to believe the person responsible for the design of the tent must be an avid camper. Plenty of detail is in the structure including operation of the windows, multiple organization compartments, air flow , ect.
I chose the tent based on strict criteria. The tent must be less than 10 pounds to fit on the luggage rack on a motorcycle. The tent must be free standing and easy to erect under minimal light conditions. Another friend purchased the same tent. Both of us conducted pre-test to know how to erect the tents once in the field. My tent did not set up correctly in pre-test. One of the legs wanted to twist out preventing the complete erection (In the field the same situation occurred). The other tent had no erection difficulties in pre-test.
We conducted our field tested at the Thunder in the Mountains motorcycle rally. The area we were in was rock under the about an inch of soil. We were unable to use the stakes that came with the tents since they were not heavy duty enough for the conditions. Likewise, gusting winds up to 30 mph posed a problem with the tent setup. Under heavy winds the tents became airborne since the staking step follows erecting. We were able to use field procedures and secure the tents by tying to large rocks as a solution to staking. There are no instructions with the tent on the use of the rain fly. An experienced camper will be able intuitively attach the rain fly, however, my friend had to ask during pre-test what the purpose of the extra pole not being experienced in the realm of camping. With simple handling the stitching came out of the bottom of the stake bag. It may not seem like any big deal but an unsecured stake loose in the carrying bag could lead to a paint rub when attached to the motorcycle.
Part of my tent did collapse under the high winds. When re-erecting one of the poles split length wise however remained serviceable. The bath tub floor is a pro and con. I did encounter a puncture so I would recommend carrying a roll of duct tape. With the floor as the foot print, under muddy conditions you will be packing up the mess with the tent and soiling the top nylon portion. Both of us were able to pack up the tents and secure them back to the condition they were shipped. While cleaning the tent after the rally I noticed additional poles fracture at joints where the pole connects to the hinge.”

“This is a great tent, well designed and sturdy. It sets up EASY , even in the dark!! So far this tent has gone thru hail , freezing rain , high winds and snow. The full fly is a big plus. Any dirt that is on the bottom of the tent will make the tent walls dirty , because of the way the tent fold up. The bath tub floor to the tent is great , but still bring a tarp. This tent has made it much easier to enjoy camping!!!”

Customer reviews for Coleman SunDome 7-Foot by 7-Foot 3-Person Dome Tent (Orange/Gray):

“This is only the second tent I’ve ever owned. The first one was a real crappy sub $20 from Sports Authority. That $20 one worked fine for that one night I used it for but I vowed spend a little more next time and hope for much better quality. The 2-person $20 leaked a bit, was terribly cramped and was awfully humid inside. All of those problems went away with this Coleman. Here are just a few reasons why I’m very happy with my purchase:

First, the price was pretty reasonable. If you find another brand with a similar design for a little less, that’s fine and all but I was happy to pay what I paid and get a Coleman – even someone that has never been camping before knows Coleman is pretty trusted when it comes to things like tents, coolers and anything you use outdoors.

Second, I thought most of the other reviews here were pretty favorable. I’m just a guy that wants to head to a campsite 2-3 times a year and spend a night or two with my girlfriend. There was another review here about how it fit a guy and his fiancée with a queen size air mattress very well. That review pretty much sold me and it was spot on. I also learned that a queen size air mattress is actually a little smaller than a regular size full size you’d have in your home. That’s still fine for two people but just don’t think you’re going to fit a giant mattress in there. The “queen” Coleman air mattress I purchased fit very well with ample room to spare.

Third, I like the colors of this tent – definitely not a great reason to base your choice of shelter but I still like the way it looks.

Fourth, It poured rain as we slept the first night. It was a pretty bad thunderstorm and it came down hard. There were not any leaks I could find. It also probably helped that this was a brand new tent, I’m pretty sure all tents will spring leaks as they get older and require seam sealer.

Fifth, Ease of use – this thing goes up and comes down pretty easily. A child can figure this thing out and it fits in a bag that’s pretty small and easy to manage.

So if you’re like me and just need a nice little tent for the occasional camping trip, this is a great choice. You can see how it looks in my pics compared to a giant 8 person tent too.”

Customer reviews for Coleman Red Canyon 17-Foot by 10-Foot 8-Person Modified Dome Tent:

“My husband and I were able to set the tent up easily. The second day of camping it started to sprinkle , then during the night and early morning it poured. We didn’t have one drop of water in our tent. It was wonderful after prior
experiences with two different tents. (Indoor pools in our tent)
There are two panels you can hang to divide the space. My kids each had their own room on the ends.
We liked the little mesh panel for the ceiling used for a small cargo hold.
Highly recommended!”

“This is a nice, spacious SUMMER tent. Don’t even think about using it if its spring/fall and the temperatures might drop, but its fantastic in hot weather, rain or not. Also this isn’t a tent for windy conditions due to its high profile. I can set this tent up alone, although getting the rain fly over the top can be a bit tricky on my own, it does eventually get there. I hadn’t thought about how tough it would be for 65″ tall me to get a rain fly over the 78″ top of a 10×17′ tent! I bought this tent for summer camping when rain was a likely complication, when I am NOT packing it more than a few yards from the vehicle. (It is a heavy tent.) It holds a table, chairs, cot, gear, and dog quite comfortably and is ridiculously spacious when I am camping alone. When a group is camping and the weather goes wet, it becomes a great place for people to get together out of the rain and have coffee, play cards, etc. I do think the “cool port” thing is about the dumbest looking thing I have ever seen on a tent though…it looks like either a demented dog door or I’m expecting the little people to join me. The “mud mat” is also rather dorky. Being three room is kind of stretching it, but the curtains are useful for changing clothes when there is a mixed group together.

Minuses on this tent: it has a single d-door with a single zipper pull, which starts on the bottom. It has huge mesh sections in the ceiling over the ends, and there isn’t any way to close them off. It lacks extra tie down points on the rain fly for foul weather when the wind kicks up a bit, which means its inclined to really start popping in a gust. There are not very many stake points on the tent itself either, which also help in foul weather.

This is a very decent budget tent for summer use.”

Customer reviews for Wenzel Timber Ridge Sport 9-by-7-Foot Four-Person Dome Tent :

“I’ve been camping a few times in the past few months. This tent has been of great value:

* easy to assemble/dis-assemble – This tent is remarkably easy to assemble, it took a friend and myself about 15 minutes the first time. And I’ve had my share of tents that would refuae to stay up even after spending an hour on them. This is the most attractive feature of this tent for me.

* Quite sturdy and weather-proof too – The manufacturer has given nails which can be used to hold the tent down. I’ve run into rain twice with these tents, and not had a problem either time. There are mesh flaps on the side and at the top which let air in on a clear night, but they can be covered up to keep the rain out.

* It holds three adults and it has ample space for two.

I’d completely agree with one of the other reviewer’s remarks about the tiny bag that the tent comes in. It took us more than 20 mins just to squeeze the tent back into that small bag. But you could instead easily use the carton the tent in for holding the tent.

I would certainly recommend this for campers.”

Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent

Great for hiking and biking trips, the Ponderosa two-room tent is lightweight enough at 10.8 pounds to carry on a backpack or saddle bags yet spacious enough to sleep four people at once. The tent base measures 10 feet by 8 feet, with a height in the center of 60 inches–more than enough space for an informal game of cards at midnight. The removable divider curtain, meanwhile, adds a bit of privacy in crowded conditions. Construction details range from a shock-corded fiberglass frame with a pin and ring connection to a weather-armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating. The frame is designed for quick and easy setup–a far cry from the clunky frames of yesteryear–while the coated fabric is reliable and sturdy regardless of the weather.

And should the rains come pouring down, the tent’s armor-tough seams and water-repellent threads, zippers, and webbing stand ready to resist. The tent even includes sonic-sealed floors that are welded (not sewn) to eliminate stitch and needle holes, ensuring that water from rain-soaked dirt won’t sneak in. Additional details include three windows (two in the front and one in the rear), Dutch D-style doors for easy entry from either side of the tent, and four mesh roof vents for circulation and moisture control. The Ponderosa is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Customer reviews for Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent :

“My husband and I researched before deciding on this tent. We are casual campers so we didn’t need to spend a lot of money. But we wanted enough space for an air mattress and all our gear without having to push everything up along the sides. And we wanted easy set up. This tent fits the bill very well. There is gobs of room for 2 people and all their stuff. At 5′ 1″, I am able to stand up in the center (hubby has to bend over a bit). We used it this weekend and it was perfect for our needs. We did read that it is important to seal the seams when getting a new tent because of the little holes created by the sewing needle. We did that as soon as we got it, but we had perfect weather this past weekend, so I still don’t know how well it will hold up in crappy weather. I have high hopes, however. We had no trouble at all setting it up and all in all, we are very pleased with our purchase.”

“This tent was pretty easy to put up, even for a little first timer like myself ( I am under 5 feet and was able to do it by myself, although it recommends 2 people). Definately use 2 people if they are available, simply for holding the rods steady as the tent goes up. It drizzled a bit on the camping trip, and the tent held up well with no extra sealant, and was tall enough for me to stand in. The privacy curtain came in handy while dressing or napping, since I shared my tent with 1 other person most of the trip. The number of people that fits in the tent is misleading, the tent says it fits 4-5 people, when what it really fits is 3 twin size air mattresses side by side, with about 1 or 2 inches on either side. If there are just sleeping bags, no air mattresses, it could probably fit about 4 people. The tent comes down just as easily as it goes up and fits nicely into the provided bag.

Happy camping!”

Customer reviews for Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent :

“WOW! this tent is amazing. It had enough room to sleep two comfortably. It also had a vestibule for wet shoes or boots and maybe a backpack. Like most places the weather in my back yard was in a dry state so my dad and I tested it with the gardening hose. At first we did the regular rain and it was completely dry except for under the vestibule where the velcro on the door wasn’t closed. After that we did the thunderstorm in which he aimed the hose directly at the tent and it still did not leak. After that I spent the night in it. When I woke up the next morning it was completely dry, and there were no dead bugs like in my bad, store brand tent that I had previosly. I would definately give this tent five stars and I would recommend it to friends and campers/backpackers everywhere.”

“I purchase this tent and used it the next day. The good: Lots of interior room, enough for 2 adults and 2 small backpacks. I was even able to fit a queen size coleman inflatable mattress inside(At home to test it)with room to spare. Very easy to set up, I read the instructions and timed myself, it took me 10 minutes. With screen mesh all around it was very comfortable, even with the Texas summer heat. Comes with a 5 year warranty. The bad: At 6 pounds Is a little on the heavy side for most solo backpackers(I personally don’t mind the weight in exchange for all the room). The tent isn’t free standing, make sure to get good stakes for hard or rocky ground. It didn’t rain when I used it, so I can’t comment on how waterproof it is, but I always seal the seams on all my tents as soon as I buy them.”

Customer reviews for Columbia Bugaboo II 12-Foot-by-9-Foot 4-Pole 5-Person Dome Tent :

“After receiving this tent we did not have time to do a “dry run” of setting it up before we left on a three week vacation. Of course the first night we got to camp late and had to set it up in Big Bend National Park in near darkness with wind gusts of 35mph. Due to tent being large it was challenging but with the two of us it went quickly.The color coded poles are great help. The tent withstood the winds and light showers throughout the trip through Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. For two of us and our Jack Russell Terrier the size is great for all our gear and the dog to have room to play inside. I would highly recommend this tent for those who want quick set-up and durability.”

“I purchased the original version of this tent. About the only difference I see is that the rain fly covers the windows whereas the version I have does not. I would say this new version with the larger rain fly is a big improvement as it will cover the windows and further insure that water does not penetrate the windows seams or zipper.
I must clarify one point here. I have used my tent many times and almost always it has been used during rainy conditions. In some cases the rain was coming down sideways. Each and every time I would sit and wonder when the water would start to make it’s way in through the window seams or zippers. Never Happened!! The only time water has made it into the tent was when a downpour blew from the back side of the tent and water seeped in through the seam where the “instructions” where sewn into the seam on the back window. Water came in and dripped off the instruction label and puddled on the floor. Not much water but enough to make a few things damp.
I have since removed the label and applied a liberal amount of seam sealer. This has solved the problem.
If this new tent fly covers the windows (as it appears to in the picture) then this problem is likely solved. If this is the case then I can highly recommend this tent to any family camper.
It has survived downpours and very strong winds with myself and my two young daughters. I would pitch it anywhere at any time (winter excluded)and feel confident we will get through the night.
Update: One of the other reviewers mentions that the Bugaboo 2 uses inferior quality materials and workmanship. This is something you should consider before purchasing this tent especially now that the “bathtub” bottom is not made from tarp material. I felt this to be a testament ot durability.
Again, the only obvious benefit I saw to the Bugaboo 2 over the original Bugaboo is the larger rain fly. If Columbia is now using inferior quality materials and construction then the rain fly may be a mute point.”

Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent

Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Sycamore 18-by-10-foot dome tent sleeps up to seven campers in its three rooms, making it ideal for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Sycamore is made of rugged, weather-repellent polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The welded polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, includes a rain shingle that creates a watershed effect, so rain doesn’t seep in through the seams. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including three Dutch D-style doors and three polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow.

The Sycamore is also quick and easy to set up, with a five-way center hub with a fast-feet-and-ring system, along with a lightweight, shock-corded fiberglass frame. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one huge sleeping room or roll down the two divider curtains to create three separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for all the campers, two sleeping rooms and one living room, or any other configuration. Other details include a gear loft for storage, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and ABS plastic pegs.

Customer reviews for Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent :

“There are a few things you should know about this tent, else your expectations may not be met. If your needs match the strengths of this product, you should be plenty happy (like me), or vise versa. I found all the info I needed to decide to buy it online, with the exception of one phone call to the manufacturer. They were very helpful and honest, BTW.

They call it a 10×18, but that does not mean a 180 sqft area (I think it is more like 116 sqft). I would not take a trip knowing the weather was going to be pretty bad, with this tent. Four season tents usually cost a fortune, and my family is NOT well suited for extreme camping, so this tent works fine for us. The room ‘dividers’ are just flaps that attach at their four corners, so if you want to camp with three couples, stand by to get close (hey, its just a tent!).

Overall, for the money, it is a good value. The construction looks good and the design is fine, with one exception…

Some things I like: Three rooms, three doors, ground-level vent, mesh pockets and small access ‘doors’, generous screens, ease of setup, it fits back into the bag!!, and plenty of anchor points (large tent, high winds, you get it).
Things I would change: The rain cover leaves gaps next to the front door. If you can see screen, you stand a good chance of getting wet. The two side ‘rooms’ are fairly small. This works for kids, but adults may find it cramped.

Everyone’s needs vary, so know what you are buying and making a decision of what to buy should be simple. enjoy.”

Customer reviews for Kelty Trail Dome 4 Four Person Tent :

“Kelty makes great tents. They are well-made and go from box to fully setup in a matter of a few minutes. Very easy to set up!!!! We got this tent for two people and it works great with our queen airbed mattress. There is enough room for another person inside but not another mattress. The queen mattress touches 3 walls with a nice space left to store gear and clothing bags. We used it this past weekend and it was perfect. The tent is very lightweight and even though we were car-camping, it would be possible to carry this tent in a backpack.
Don’t get this tent if you have a family with kids, etc. Get a bigger tent, but I would recommend you get a Kelty! They are worth the extra $$.”

“The tent is AWESOME!!! The poles are very durable and secure, the zipper is smooth, and it is very lightweight for its size. But I have not tried it in stormy weather. The only disappointment I had was the size. It fits 3 people quite nicely, but with 4 people, you need to have the people lay diagnolly. The floor size is actually about a foot smaller when setup. A portion of the floor is forced upward by the force of the poles. I would not reccomend this tent for any group over 3 people. This price is a steal when compared to REI prices!”
