Could be better for rain, overall Great for dry!
Borrowed this from a friend for 5-day camping. "Instant" = so Easy, especially with another person helping me; this feature is The MVP. I loved the multiple entry- and all the window- options, so I could air out my tent really well when weather was good. The rain fly could be better/waterproof, as I definitely saw lots of little rain drops appearing on the tent floor somewhat regularly; it wasn't a hurricane either, it was just an average/moderate/steady rain for a few hours, then decreased to light rain/drizzle off-and-on. I would've liked the rain fly to extend past at least one entrance so that I could leave my wet shoes outside the tent without them getting rained on; I used the tent's room divider for this purpose (hung up with a bungee laundry line I had packed), which worked okay. The tent didn't flood, but it was a bit annoying having rain drip all over the contents of my tent. I'd recommend bringing an extra tarp or 2 just in case of wet weather, but other than that--- I WOULD recommend this tent for mostly-dry-forecasted camping!

Great summer tent
I loved everything about this tent! The size is perfect for a glamping experience however the wind and rain put a damper on my review. The tent is perfect for summer weather but once the wind kicks up so does your lack of coverage. The wind blows through this tent leaves no coverage. We camp usually on the shoulder seasons, spring and fall. I recommend this tent if you'll be protected from harsh elements. I camp very close to lake Michigan which makes weather happen without much notice and change quickly.

Wonderful Family Tent
We used this tent for the first time this week. We are a family of 5…2 adults and 3 kids. The tent was a quick and easy setup with straightforward instructions. It is easily setup with two people and could even be setup with only one person without difficulty. There are plenty of screen windows to keep airflow throughout the tent, and the screens and zipper doors keep bugs out. We have been fighting red ants at our campsite, and they are trying to get into the tent, but when we zip the door completely shut, they cannot get inside. It has not rained during our stay, so I cannot speak to how weather proof the tent is, but it is well made and perfect for our family. Highly recommend!

Easy setup, great size, would recommend!
Opened the box at the campsite and setup for the first time in less than 15 minutes. No more stringing poles together and feeding through loops, this thing makes car camping a breeze! Size is great, big enough for a Q air mattress or 2- cots, with the entire other side available. We had a pop up camp table with a box fan setup and roo for changing. Very spacious. Weather was amazing, so I havent tested weatherproof durability but will be taking it out again next month too. Would highly recommend!

Tent is awesome, would have been 5 stars but one side had the bars on crossed. We unscrewed them and re applied and it popped right up!

Tent Review
Setup was a breeze, breakdown also quite quick and easy. Only 4 stars as we have only used it once so far and the only thing I want to keep an eye on is longevity of the zippers and pole extension mechanisms but so far so good.

I’d buy it again.
Seems like a good tent. We spent a weekend with 2 people and 2 dogs - no issues, no rips. I set it up by myself in about 5 minutes. Had someone else been there, it would have been 2 minutes but every time I extended one side, the other side dropped down. Zippers all work well with minimal catching while opening/closing. Lots of room, lots of windows. I wish the divider actually sealed one side from the other so you could open one end to hang out in while still keeping bugs out of the other (sleeping) end. Plan on buying new tent stakes as the ones that it comes with are the worst possible quality.

Hi Mark, Thank you for your review! We're glad the tent was durable and offered plenty of space and ventilation. We appreciate the feedback on the divider and stakes, and we’ll pass this along to our team. Enjoy your future camping trips!

Loved it...want more
I've bought this tent twice because I loved it so much the first time. I rushed to bag the first tent during a torrential rain and ended up bending the posts, so I replaced it. Love this tent. I can set it up by myself in about 5 minutes (tops) and it is so roomy and comfortable inside. The only thing I want to figure out is how to cover the mesh top to keep the heat in during an autumn or early spring camping trip. But let me tell you--I spent a week in this tent in particularly strong and windy Kansas rain storms, and stayed bone dry, while my friends' tents blew over or collapsed and flooded them out. Have I mentioned I LOVE this tent?
1 reply from CORE Customer Service team - 1 year ago
Hi Kevlar, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear how much you love the tent and that it held up so well through Kansas rain and wind. For cooler weather, you might consider an additional rainfly or tarp to help retain warmth over the mesh. Stay tuned— we're working on a custom rainfly for this tent, expected in 2025! Thanks again for choosing CORE—we’re so glad to be part of your adventures!

So convenient and spacious
This tent goes up in a couple of minutes with just one person! Taking it down is just as easy and goes right back in the bag with the rain fly, door divider, and stakes. It has a lot of windows. The two options for doors is so convenient. The height makes it feel extra spacious. We went a little overboard for our family of just four, but we love it.

Fantastic Tent!
What a great tent! We bought this tent for a recent week-long trip to Maine -- two humans and three cats -- and this tent was extremely easy to put up (and take down), very roomy and comfortable, and most importantly it kept us completely dry during two significant overnight (windy) rainstorms. A great purchase; highly recommended!

9 Person Instant Tent
Overall a great tent. We were able to fit in a queen air mattress and a twin with ease. Very easy to put up and down. Storage pockets and a top hook for a light. It comes with a room divider but did not find this very useful. Overall good construction. Still need to see how it performs in rain.

Great family road trip tent.
This is my second time buying the same tent. The first one lasted 75 nights of camping over 2 years being set up multiple times. It's the perfect tent for family road trip camping. I didn't think twice before replacing the old one with the exact same model.
