Family Camping Tent 8P

This tent is fantastic for space, just need a tarp or easy up for rain.. but we're more than happy with it :)

I hope you bring the whole family camping, as this tent gives you a magic teleporter into a much larger tent. It is so much larger on the inside than it looks from the outside, which is also, very large. Good quality tent, but a crappy bag. Buy a duffle bag with the tent. The bag included is worthless.

The review for this is relative to this being an economy tent. I used to do a lot of tent camping and have a couple higher end two and three person tents to compare this with. This is not a high quality tent that will stand up to years of heavy use. I will get into that later, but first the good things.My kids are now large and somewhat smelly teenagers and and I decided to get a larger tent for a one week summer car camping trip where space and weight was not a consideration. I wanted a tent that would fit a queen air mattress and two twin air mattresses with enough space left for gear and to move around. This tent is cavernous. It fit all three mattresses fine and gear with space to move and some left over. I would not want to be in this with 8 other people, but it a great size for a family of 4. If the weather was bad we could have easily piled up the air mattresses and comfortably sat in the tent playing cards with a standard folding table and camp chairs. I am 5' 8" and my son is 6' 1" and we could walk around it no problem and only needed to stoop a little out toward the wings.The entire top of the tent is mesh. One night we had assured clear weather it was nice to take off the fly and look at the stars. The mesh top also helps keep down condensation, but on the flip side is can be a little breezy and there is basically zero warmth afforded by the structure. This was fine for a summer trip but might be an issue in the spring and fall. There are mesh gear pouches on the inside and a dedicated opening for an extension cord. Didn't use that, but it is there. One feature is is that it has an "air vent", which is a mesh panel near the bottom with a flap so water does not get in. Since the entire top of the tent is mesh and the fly does not fit super tight, I am not sure that this is needed but it is there.After one practice run in the back yard with minimal head scratching, the tent went up in a couple minutes without any trouble with two people. It was easy to take down and I didn't have any problem getting to to roll up and fit back in the included carry bag with the fly and pole bag. One person could set this up by themselves but it was way easier with two. It is a large tent and relatively heavy but not bad given the size. You are not hiking this anywhere but it is great for car camping.It rained lightly two nights. We stayed dry with the fly on but the fly just barely covers the mesh on top and down the sides. If we didn't have the fly securely tided and staked I do think that water would have dripped in. I don't think this would be a great tent in hard rain or high winds.So when I say this is a budget tent this is what I mean...The entire top of the tent is mesh and the mesh is relatively large, particularly compared to high end tents. This kept out the larger bugs but small (luckily non-biting) midges came as went as they please. If we were in an area with aggressive mosquitoes or no-see-um gnats we probably would have been eaten alive. The poles are super cheap. I was surprised when they didn't snap when we put it up. The shock cord is not very taut and the poles come apart when you push and pull them through the nylon sleeves when you set it up. The included tent stakes are minimal and completely inadequate but that is basically the same for every other tent out there. I always use high end aftermarket stakes anyway.The door zipper jammed pretty easily and was not as smooth as you get on better tents. The bottom of the tent is basically plastic tarp material. It held up fine during our trip, but once it rips I doubt it could be repaired like you can with higher end tents.In summary, this is a fine budget tent with some nice features for a summer family care camping trip where there are not a super lot of biting insects.

Tent had weak stitching on seams. Threat came apart after tent setup. Everything else fine besides that.

When I received this tent and began assembly I was shocked at the size. I was HUGE!! Perfect for my 6 person family. However, once I finished setting it up I took out the rainfly to attach it to the tent. I tried every which way possible. I read the instructions over and over again. NOTHING seemed to work. The rainfly just didn't fit. After spending over an hour trying to figure it out I gave up. I looked up pictures of the exact tent on Amazon AND Google. Finally, coming to the conclusion that it was not me it was the WRONG RAINFLY! The one I ordered was for the 8 person multi room dome tent. The one I received was for the 6 person dome tent with screen room. I was very disappointed. I had such high hopes for this tent. It seemed perfect. I tried reaching out the manufacturer. They don't have any kind of website or customer service. I left a review on their trademark site hoping to get some kind of answer. We had to send our tent back and wait for our money to be returned. It really sucks. This review is not on Amazon or their service. Its on Pacific Pass and their manufacturing.

I Returned tent, main door zipper was stitched closed about halfway up cannot open door all the way without risk of ripping the stitches and ruining tent. Poor manufacturing and QC otherwise seemed like a good tent very big not so easy to setup cannot speak for leaks didnt have it in rain. If you buy Inspect before using

Nothing but good things to say about this tent! We used it while camping in Virginia & a storm came up during the night! It was rainy and very windy but the tent stayed completely dry & in tact! We did upgrade the metal spikes to hold it in place bcz the ground was very hard. It takes at least 2 ppl to set up but it’s not hard to figure out !

I was excited to get this tent and was very disappointed...... The rain fly was to small and didn't fit, and it had two small holes on one side of the rain fly that look like it was caused by a cigarette. Also, the bottom of the pole bag had a hole in it and the poles kept sliding out. I read all the reviews on this tent before buying it and saw one that said they had to return the tent because the "rain fly was to small". We think that they sent us the same tent..... We bought it as a "Used But In Good Condition" purchase, but didn't expect it to have this many flaws. We are disappointed that they would still sell the same tent to other people. We are going camping in 3 days and now we have to find a different tent. The plus is, is that we are a family of 5 and it would have worked great for us.
