Night Cat Waterproof Camping Tent for 1 2 3 4 Person with Footprint Tarp Easy Instant Pop Up Tent Automatic Hydraulic Rainproof Tent with Rain Fly

I bought this tent for our family of three people for camping trips in Montana. The set up and take down is what appealed to me along with it's ability to convert to just a canopy. It is every bit as easy to set up as advertised. It takes mere seconds. You take it out of the carrying bag, extend each of the corners and just pop it up. One person can do it easily. Also, there are just a few hooks to undo and it becomes a shade canopy. We we're considering buying a pop up canopy and this covered both the tent and the canopy for us. Take down is as simple as putting it up. Most tents don't seem to go back together the way they are packaged, but this one does. Again, a matter of seconds and one person can do it. Plus, there are no parts to lose. It comes with enough stakes to secure it very well. However, we had a good breeze the first time we used it and it's wide base kept it from blowing away. We will be using this a lot. I hope they come out with even bigger models!

We had one when my kids were young, almost twenty years ago but it was not nearly as easy and quick to put up as this one. First, the Amazon page listed weight as 9.92 pounds but my tent weighed 7.5 pounds on my digital food scale. It is not a lightweight backpack tent but great for car or four wheeler camping when weight is not an issue. I was hoping to test it out on a hunting trip but it arrived too late. The tent can easily fit three people in it with some room for gear. The rain flap diverts water from the actual tent but is not large enough to store equipment outside under it as some rain flys are designed to do.Set up and take down is super easy. This is the easiest and fastest tent I ever set up or took down. The video shows how simple it is to do. The rain fly is already attached and includes lightweight stakes and twine. This feature eliminates the necessity of attaching the rain fly after setting up the actual tent. A nice feature is that the tent itself can be removed and set up with just the rain fly for shade. There are front and rear doors for easy access and ventilation. A bonus for me is that the tent still fits into the bag after opening up and closing a few times. I have two high end tents, one in which the tent does not fit into the bag it came in with after the first use and the other fits very difficultly. Great car camping tent at a great price.Here is a summary of the setup and take down instructions (see video and pictures). Pull the tent from the bag and hold upright on the ground. Fold out the four corner poles and lift up on the center post. The tent pops up and out, the poles lock open and the tent is up! You really don’t even have to unfold the legs; leaving them in place did not hinder pop up that I could tell. It is that easy. After the first time, it took me less than a minute to set up! Easiest and fastest tent with a rain fly I ever sent up! Taking down the tent is just as simple. Grab the two yellow poles coming out from center post, then lift as you pull the poles together and the poles and tent collapses down. Pull on the corner poles at the middle joint to unlock them and fold the four corner poles to the center. Lay flat and roll tent to wrap excess fabric around the tent. Tie strap around it and put tent back in bag.Pros:Simple designQuick and easy to put up and take down.The fabric and screens are heavier than my backpacking tent.Comes with a repair kit.Seams are sealed.The rain fly is secured to tent but removable (see pictures).Cons:Stakes are very light, troublesome in rocky areas (see pictures).One logo imprint is smeared, but it does not affect performance (see picture).Not much space outside tent under rain fly for gear.

Likes: Roomy, Easy set-up and tear-down.Dislikes: Not Waterproof...2nd time out using it since I purchased it, a light rain started about 1am and went til 3am. Within a half hour of this gentle rain, water started coming through both doors about 3 inches up from the zipper seam where there is no seams at all. It let off til about 5am and went til after 7am if the same very light raining. Got up at 6am to get out because there was water now coming in through the seamless part of each wall. In total there was about 5 to 6 tablespoons of water inside the tent after taking everything out to inspect further. This tent is good for sunny and cloudy days and nothing more. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone at this point. Gave it a 2 star just because of how easy it is to erect the tent and dismantle it.Update 8/23/18: taking it from 2 star to 4 star simply because of how amazing the customer service was about my concerns when they read my review. They have worked on resolving all my concerns about the material and overall quality of the tent.

We took this camping this weekend to South Dakota where the weather can be somewhat unpredictable during this tome of year. Set up took maybe 2 mins. We were set up at a tent site at a KOA and placed it on top of a tarp and staked everything down. It withstood the heavy wind, rain and snow we had during our stay. No leaks, no collapsing and it kept mosquitoes outside and away from me. It was a good size for me, my husband and out 15 pound dog using a couple camp mats and of course a dog bed (she is spoiled). Definitely worth the cost

I tossed my last tent in a rage after it took 2h to setup, only to fall down again. I needed a much faster easier pop-up tent.After receiving this tent, I arrived at the campsite late at 11pm and had to quickly setup in the dark so I could still meet my friends before they went to bed. I was pretty worried.So here's what I did. I pulled out the tent, placed it flat on the ground, pulled the middle of the tent up, and BOOM. The arms clicked in place and I had a full tent already made!!!Literally 30 seconds, I had this tent setup in PITCH DARK, with nothing other than a phone flash light.No regrets at all for the price.I mean, it would be nice if it was taller. It's a pretty low height tent, which makes it look smaller to everyone else's, but width wise, I got a queen air mattress in there with enough room around it for shoes, clothes, snacks, and it has pockets too. It also has a hook on the top to dangle a light from.Packing up was pretty much simple too. What they don't tell you, is to bend the arms again, pull the joints apart and then bend or they're locked in place and you'll be wondering why you can't bend them.Was enough room for a 6' 3" person to sleep horizontally, 2 people if cuddling, but I wouldn't have more than 2 people in it even if they're shorter unless they're really into snuggling close and nothing else was in the tent.

Excellent tent. Use it all the time never had a tent so easy to put up and take down

I saw other reviews at first and needed a fast setup one for my solo camping fishing trip. My other 6 men ten is to cumbersome to setup and take down for a single person since I'm going to two different lakes, Tunkwa and Roche.Boom...It's up...boom...its down....enuff said...Well made...small and light. Unfortunately it's not waterproof when a rainstorm came through while at Roche lake. I had some water ingress here and there. Still, you always put a tarp for extra protection. My other 6 men Coleman tent too isn't quite waterproof. Just add a large tarp over it and you are good to go.

While this tent sets up easily, it's also unfortunately very poorly made. It's constructed of gossamer thin fabrics that show their fatigue lines prior to even being used. We waterproofed the entire tent carefully indoors prior to use and still with a very light rain the tent leaked like a cartoon boat.... before being knocked flat in a mild wind (17kmh)! This despite all guide ropes being secured.As a cheap play tent to set up inside for the kids to roll around in it might be fine. For even light recreational camping it's a complete disaster. While I had imagined it wasn't going to be quality on par with something from a big camping outlet, I really didn't expect it to be this bad.

Loved this tent camping this summer. It works perfectly for a queen size air mattress holding my girlfriend and I. Air flow is good and didn't get wet at all during big rain storms.All our friends were super jealous when we had this setup before they even had their pegs in the ground. It's an extremely easy setup and the plastics feel super durable.I'd recommend grabbing a battery powered fan to hang from the convenient ceiling clip
