CAMEL CROWNTents for Camping 4/6 Person Tent Waterproof Easy Setup Backpacking Tents

We were looking to upside from a 3person backpacking tent and sleeping on the ground to a larger tent that could fit an air mattress. This one fits 2 queen air mattresses on a good day without rain (because they can touch the edges of the tent). Otherwise we go with 1 queen and there's room to walk around it and change.Ours survived a 5hr thunderstorm with sideways rain and only had a small leak under the window zipper on the back. We blame the fact it was raining hard and sideways for the leak and plan to apply a waterproofer this next spring.We tuck the front floor mat underneath to avoid tripping on it and we also purchased a 12x20 (?) tarp that fits the footprint of the tent almost perfectly to protect it longer.

The media could not be loaded. ***Updated.I reached out to let them know about the elastic in the pole snapping, I got a fairly quick response asking for a picture of the issue. I responded I didn't take the time to take a picture and have heard nothing since. One star for "customer service."A friend said, let's go camping. Sure! Haven't been in years, let's go! Living in Washington State, we kept an eye on the wildfires, that would have nixed the trip and there were several near Mary Hill State Park, where we were going. All were out, weather was looking good, fabulous Girl's Weekend ahead. I arrived Friday afternoon and started pitching my spanky new tent. The directions were ok and I'm experienced enough to know the basics. Laid it out and staked it down with the included steel J stakes. It was a fairly soft gravel pad so I used two stakes per corner as one just wasn't really doing the job imo. Next up, putting the poles together. You know the kind, they fold up on themselves with an elastic cord running through them. Now, it's late afternoon, sunset is at 8 pm, gotta get the tent up. First pole, no problem. Second pole, two sections to go and *SNAP* the elastic broke. Insert colorful language. Spent the next 20 minutes rethreading the elastic through the poles; lost the end a couple of times and had to start over. Finally thought to use the key ring to hold the end while I got the next segment ready. Was able to get the ends tied off at last and wrapped some silver wire around the knot to make sure it didn't come undone while putting up the tent. (I had brought my jewelry making supplies, hence the wire.) My friends arrived, we got the tent up. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the fabric and told them "wow are they getting a crappy review!" I had serious doubts about the integrity not only of the elastic but the fabric not getting ripped; it felt thin and that cheap, crinkly type of stuff. Which, I'm a 50 something woman, not rambunctious children and was still huh. Let's see how that holds up. This might last a couple of camping trips if I'm careful. The tent is quite roomy, a double air mattress fit nicely on one side (fairly snug to the wall so not recommended if you're expecting rain. I turned it lengthwise for Sat night and that didn't leave much floor space.) leaving the other for gear etc. I'm 5'8" and had plenty of headroom in the middle.Did send a complaint via Amazon about the elastic that evening. The next day, all was well, I hadn't attached the ropes at that point, a mild breeze, didn't need the trip hazard. That afternoon, the Park Ranger comes by to let us know a storm was coming in, expecting winds of 40-50 mph! At that point, I triple stakes the corners and attached the ropes. I had picked up extra tent stakes and am glad I did because they ALL got used. Secured the coolers and gear in the tent just as the winds really started in. That's the video, the beginning of the storm. My friends and I (and the two dogs) watched the storm from the safety of our vehicles. Winds, rain, hail, lightning for just over an hour. I was shocked that my tent was still firmly anchored and there were ZERO rips or tears! I was anticipating the fly at the least to sail away but not so much as a popped stitch! The material I thought was thin and would tear easily? In perfect condition. The poles? I actually had to cut the elastic to get the mangled mess free of the tent. 🤦‍♀️The neighbor campers lost an entire tent, it went flying off who knows where (they weren't there during the storm) and my friend's tent was a complete loss.This evening I had a message from Camel Crown asking for a picture of the "issue." I responded that I didn't take the time to snap a pic, was too busy rethreading the pole. Admittedly, if I were them, I'd think it was someone trying to get poles replaced because of the storm. I will replace the poles regardless and use the tent again. I'm waiting to see their response, can't comment on their custom service as yet.And to be fair, this tent is NOT rated for 40-50 mph winds and yet, poles notwithstanding, it survived.

Cheap

This tent is good quality material, not super thin, it doen pouted in us and the water resistance was superb. This is easy to set up and took about 10 minutes but needs to people to set up. The size says 4-6 people however with an airmattress it's only 4 people. The size of this is a good size for a Queen airmattress and a twin airmattress but not 2 queen airmattresses. We had 2 queens and there was no room to stand or move or even put our bags anywhere. The windows are great and help with air flow it also has an extension cord slot as well.

Set up took about 10 minutes doing it solo (well, with a 4&5 year old) seems sturdy. Tent is very big and fits a large king air mattress and could fit another twin mattress as well. Lots of room. My only complaint is that they use very small, dainty zippers and I’m already having them come apart in tight areas. Last night I had to detach the tent from the support pole to get the door to zip without breaking. This could have been due to not having it evenly set up, but overall I give the tent a 4/5 but the zippers a 2/10. Also- the rain cover is a bit small for the size of the tent. The two sides do not have any covering whatsoever so this would not be a tent you’d want to use in the winter or during a big rain storm unless you had a large tarp over it. I could definitely see wind driven rain giving this tent a run for its money. But, again for the price you can’t really beat it.

We put this tent up to test it out before our weekend camping trip, and did not really notice any issues. Set up and take down is straightforward for the most part. However on the first day we actually were camping, the zipper on the tent door broke and would not zip the rest of the trip. This happened on the other door as well but we were able to fix it and just not touch it. We ended up having to drape a large tarp over our tent to make a makeshift door/closing. This camping trip was by far the worst I’ve ever been on because of the poor quality of the tent. We had some wind and rain our last night there and the tent collapsed in on us 3 times before we could get outside to take it down. The stakes are cheap and bent easily, as expected from a lot of tents, but that didn’t help our situation trying to construct a stable shelter. I have purchased a chair from this brand as well, which is great…but I’m definitely skipping their tents! I’ll be returning and purchasing a more well-known brand.

We ordered this tent when it was on sale. For our camping trip, we set it up and it was perfect size for our huge air mattress plus everything else that we brought fit inside of it. Plus a dog kennels for our 2 dogs and a nightstand, The tent is very spacious. But I do not recommend it for more then 4 people to use cause our queen size mattress took up alot of room

Falsely advertised as waterproof!!! I love how huge this tent is!!! I am not impressed with the puddle that was on the floor after it lightly rained on and off for an hour

After setting up the tent once we got to our camp site, the door zippers came apart, we then had to borrow a tent off family close by as we were unable to use this one. Definitely not happy with this purchase.Everything else was fine but the door zippers not working kept it cold and was not good to use.

Tente de qualité très pauvre , première installation et une fermeture éclair déjà brisé même pas entré dans la tente encore , je ne recommande pas

Muy amplia y de buena calidad, solo le batallamos un poco al armarla por primera vez ya que las instituciones del manual no son muy claras

Los cierren salieron malos se abrieron
